What diners say

No diner ratings yet.

Ratings are diners’ own experience. They don’t make a dish safe; neither do we.

Where this comes from

Allergen answers come from the menu’s labels first, then the listed ingredients, then a model’s judgement checked when unsure. How allergen status is decided.

Questions about Calico

Does Calico have gluten-free options?

Yes: 5 dishes are gluten free as served, and 42 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 1 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is Calico coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Set menu notice: all foods prepared in a kitchen where sesame, soy, nuts and gluten are present; no 100% assurance of absence of allergen…”. Chef’s Kiss 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.

What can be made gluten free at Calico?

Woodfire Bread (House gluten free bread +$7); Toasts & Condiments (Gluten free sourdough); Homemade Sourdough Toast (GF bread +$5); Woodfire Bread (House gluten free bread +$7); Margherita (GF base +$5); Hawaiian (GF base +$5).

When is Calico open?

Monday: 7am–4pm. Tuesday: 7am–4pm. Wednesday: 7am–4pm. Thursday: 7am–10pm. Friday: 7am–10pm. Saturday: 7am–10pm. Sunday: 8am–4pm. Hours can change on public holidays; check with the venue.
