Questions about Nelson Hotel

The venue notes: “All grill items and all burgers are gluten free on request (GF bun $2).”. Chef’s Kiss reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from.

Grilled Barramundi Fillet (Gluten free option (GFO) available); Beef Burger (GF bun $2); Veggie Burger (GF bun $2); Warm Beef Salad (Gluten free option (GFO) available); Cheese Burger + Chips (GF bun $2).
