What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Citron Crepe (GF) — explicitly noted as GF by a diner.
- Buckwheat Crepe (GF) / Buckwheat Galette — listed as a gluten-free option on the menu; buckwheat batter is presented as a GF option.
- Lobster Bisque — described by a diner as gluten-free when bread is left off the side.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The operation is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently raises cross-contact concerns for celiac diners.
- Some older and recent reviews reference cross-contamination risk, including notes about griddles, utensils, and glove practices. While several guests report safe experiences with explicit precautions (glove changes, surface cleaning, separate GF utensils), others describe failures to fully maintain separation or to follow protocols.
- A specific review mentions no dedicated surface for GF buckwheat crepes and expresses discomfort ordering GF items as a result.
- Overall, there is a pattern of both cautious, positive experiences and notable safety concerns. Recent signals are mixed, with some positives and at least one recent negative. This points to an environment where celiac safety is highly dependent on exact practices at the moment of service.
