Marked menu + dedicated, Allergen-marked menu plus dedicated fryer / prep area. Staff trained. Not a fully dedicated kitchen.

Pura Vida is a vegetarian restaurant where 'everything can be made vegan' according to HappyCow reviews. The menu is extensive with many clearly vegan options (burgers, tacos, burritos, bowls, desserts). However, the venue is not fully vegan — it serves dairy and eggs, and one reviewer notes 'they still sell animal derivatives, so there is always the possibility that your dish is not suitable and there may be confusion'. This indicates a shared kitchen with cross-contamination risk for strict vegans.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Pura Vida is a vegetarian restaurant with vegan options, not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. The HappyCow listing notes 'gluten free options' and a reviewer mentions a 'gluten free rice flour cake', but there is no evidence of a dedicated fryer, separate prep area, or staff training for coeliac safety. The venue also serves dairy and eggs, creating cross-contamination risk. No accreditation from Coeliac Australia or any recognised coeliac body was found.
