What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Market Table (salad bar and sides) is repeatedly described as gluten-free.
- Meats served at the table are generally gluten-free, with many reviews stating all meats are GF and only a few specific items (historically those marinated in beer or certain sausages) as exceptions.
- Brazilian cheese bread (pão de queijo) is frequently mentioned as gluten-free.
- Mashed potatoes are cited as gluten-free.
- Fried polenta is mentioned as gluten-free in some reviews, sometimes with notes about preparation in separate fryers.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists in all all-you-can-eat or buffet-style setups. Some reviews note caution around specific items historically associated with gluten (e.g., certain bread, some chicken preparations marinated in beer, or some sausage), though many of these items have been reduced or eliminated in recent updates.
- A few guests report remaining concerns during busy periods, but the majority of recent experiences describe clear GF labeling, allergen guides, and staff-led tours to identify safe choices.
