What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Market Table items (gluten-free offerings common, with some bread/salad items requiring note).
- Brazilian cheese bread (pão de queijo) served at the table, noted as gluten-free.
- Meats served tableside (most options are gluten-free, per multiple guest reports).
- Side dishes and table-friendly items like mashed potatoes and certain polenta offerings, which are frequently cited as gluten-free.
- Caramelized bananas and other table-side sides that are described as gluten-free in several accounts.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- A few items are repeatedly noted as not gluten-free, most notably specific bread items at the Market Table or among certain prepared meats.
- Some chicken dishes may be marinated in beer, making those particular choices unsafe for a strict gluten-free/celiac approach.
- There are mixed reports about staff consistency in providing allergen materials every time; in some visits, managers or service staff provided clear guidance, while in others, patrons were advised to consult the allergen list themselves.
- Shared fryers or cross-contact scenarios are a recurring concern in broader discussions about this concept, so asking explicitly about fryers and preparation is advised on site.
