🍽️ What you can eat here

Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.

✅ Reported safe options

  • Gluten-free Wiener schnitzel options (chicken and veal) that are clearly labeled as gluten-free on the menu and served with GF sides.
  • Gluten-free desserts such as Salzburger Nockerl (and other GF dessert options mentioned by guests).
  • Gluten-free beer options are available and explicitly noted by guests.
  • Staff typically provide allergy-aware service and mark GF dishes to help avoid cross-contact.

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • A recent guest reported a reaction, with a note suggesting the gluten-free schnitzel might have been fried in a shared fryer; the guest did not confirm this before eating. This indicates a potential cross-contamination risk in some cases and underscores the importance of explicit queries about fryers, oils, and shared equipment.
  • While many reviews highlight dedicated labeling and careful handling, the existence of varying experiences means cross-contact cannot be assumed away, especially in high-traffic times or with diverse kitchen workflows.
  • The restaurant’s own data indicates dedicated gluten-free handling in some contexts, but external listings sometimes describe it as not a fully dedicated facility. Practicing diners should communicate clearly about fryers, utensils, and shared cooking surfaces.
