What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free meats served tableside (carved and offered plain or with safe seasonings)
- Market Table selections (mostly gluten-free as reported by guests and staff)
- Pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) – described as naturally gluten-free
- Crème brûlée – reported gluten-free in multiple experiences
- Mashed potatoes (gluten-free in the shared menu context)
- Caramelized bananas (gluten-free side/dessert item)
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility; cross-contact risk remains a consideration.
- Certain meat items (e.g., specific chicken preparations, sausages) have been noted in some reports as not GF due to marinades or shared handling.
- Market Table items and some sides may involve cross-contact risk if shared fryers or cooking surfaces are used; one review specifically noted polenta fries being fried in a shared fryer.
- The safest approach is to request the allergen list, ask which meats are GF, and have a manager guide you through the Market Table and any sides during your visit.
