Rococo Hawthorn

I had lunch at Rococo in a large group of work colleagues. As a Coeliac I had very low expectations of being able to eat many things on the menu. When I informed the staff, they asked if I was Coeliac and throughout the meal continuously ensured I had plenty of food that met my dietary requirements even though everyone else was eating the standard fixed menu items. Especially loved the homemade gluten bread!!!

My daughter ate here for the first time last night. She ordered GF pasta (which was an added cost) told the waiter that she was a coeliac and was allergic to wheat. She came home and had one of the worse reactions to gluten she has ever had. She was vomiting until early hours of the morning when she started vomiting blood. I see on the website there is an allergy waiver basically absolving the restaurant of all responsibilities when it comes to food allergies. While I understand this is legal, I find it terrible that a restaurant wouldn’t even bother trying to accomodate for allergens. In this day and age, this is purely a lazy industry response!!! Very disappointing
