What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread for the cheese fondue
- Gluten-free brownies and snickerdoodles for the chocolate fondue
- Gluten-free dippers for chocolate fondue (fruit, veggies, marshmallows, GF brownies, etc.)
- Cheese fondues that can be made GF by substituting gluten-containing beer with gluten-free broth
- Separate pot and tray options to minimize cross-contact for diners who need strict GF preparation
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Shared pots are common in fondue dining, so cross-contact can occur if precautions aren’t consistently followed for all courses. Some reviews mention the need for two separate pots or careful spoon-sharing to avoid cross-contamination.
- A few diners report incidents where GF requests weren’t fully respected, highlighting the importance of clarifying your needs ahead of time and verifying during the meal.
- While many guests enjoy a fully GF experience, not every menu item is guaranteed GF, and some sauces or ingredients may contain gluten unless specifically substituted. When in doubt, ask before ordering and request separate pots and clean utensils as needed.
