Chit Chat Restaurant

Vegetarian options are likely available given the diner-style menu (omelets, salads, standard American fare) but the venue does not mark vegetarian dishes on the menu and has no dedicated vegetarian menu. The catering page only offers to 'do our best to accommodate' dietary needs. Staff are reported as untrained about gluten, so their knowledge of vegetarian requirements may also be inconsistent. Best to confirm with staff on arrival.

Chit Chat Restaurant does not mark vegan options on any menu. The West Orange diner offers omelets, though they are not vegan. A listing for Bella's Chit Chat Cafe in Australia mentions mushrooms cooked in oil as a vegan and gluten-free option, but that information is thin and applies to a different location. The United States venue's catering page states that all major allergens are used, including milk and eggs. Omelets are listed as a reported gluten-free item, but most vegan dishes would require custom preparation. Staff may be able to accommodate upon request, but with no marked menu, no dedicated equipment, and staff reportedly untrained about allergens, the quality of accommodation is uncertain. Calling ahead is advised.

The venue's catering page states the kitchen uses milk (a major FDA allergen) but offers no dairy-free marked dishes, menu designations, dedicated equipment, or staff training. One atly.com directory page from a separate location ('Bella's Chit Chat Cafe' in Australia) mentions that mushrooms can be cooked in oil as a 'not many vegan' option, which may hint at dairy-free accommodation upon request. That signal is thin and from an unverified, user-submitted listing for a different branch. No dairy-specific review or practice is described for the main US locations. Calling ahead to ask about dairy-free options is recommended.

The restaurant is not recommended for coeliac or anyone with a gluten allergy. Multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviewers report that staff do not understand gluten, are untrained, and are unwilling to accommodate allergies. One reviewer who is coeliac received a salad with croutons after ordering gluten-free. Multiple reviews state there is no gluten-free menu and no dedicated fryer. The venue's own catering page warns that the kitchen uses all major FDA allergens including wheat, and only offers to "do our best to accommodate." That page makes no mention of cross-contamination protocols, separate equipment, or staff training.
