⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, which inherently carries cross-contamination risk.
- A recent diner experience described gluten-containing couscous in a mussel dish that was ordered as allergy-safe, with gluten-containing bread served alongside the dish. The gluten-containing ingredient remained in the dish and the meal was canceled afterward.
- While the menu and several staff interactions indicate strong GF awareness, the combination of non-dedicated facilities and this kind of recent incident means caution is still warranted.
