Questions about Chiaos cafe
Does Chiaos cafe have gluten-free options?
Yes: 2 dishes are gluten free as served, and 1 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 11 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

The venue notes: “Corn fritters and grilled barramundi are printed GF and the barramundi GF/DF; halloumi stack has a printed gluten free bread option.”. Eatcrush reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from. It never calls a dish safe: kitchens share fryers, boards and flour, and menus change. If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, confirm with staff before you order.
