What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free gnocchi (two types mentioned)
- Gluten-free pasta
- Gluten-free bread substitution (add-on option on certain dishes)
- Gluten-free waffles (noted in brunch contexts)
- Gluten-free desserts (e.g., chocolate pudding)
- These items are explicitly labeled gluten-free in menu contexts or reviews. However, the establishment is not described as a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact remains a possibility.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which introduces cross-contact risk.
- The kitchen space is described as small in at least one report, raising the potential for cross-contamination.
- Fryers or shared cooking surfaces may pose risks (e.g., fries coated prior to frying).
- There is at least one recent report of a gluten exposure affecting a diner, highlighting that safety is not guaranteed.
- On the positive side, staff have sometimes engaged proactively about allergens and, in some cases, prepared items with separate handling (e.g., separate pan for halloumi) and discussed the level of cross-contact with diners.
