What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Gluten-free bread (often provided for dipping or as part of meals)
- Flourless chocolate cake (gluten-free dessert)
- Flan (gluten-free dessert)
- A number of tapas and dishes can be made GF or are naturally GF, particularly when the staff marks the menu and communicates with the kitchen about cross-contamination risks
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Cross-contamination risk exists, especially in a busy tapas environment where multiple dishes come out together. Marking menus and asking clarifying questions are common mitigation, but mistakes can happen.
- Reports vary on whether a dedicated gluten-free fryer is available. Some guests encounter dedicated fryers and careful preparation; others note that fryers may be shared or that modifications are needed to avoid cross-contact (e.g., pan-frying or baking instead of frying).
- A few guests describe gluten exposure despite precautions, underscoring that risk is never zero even with strong staff knowledge and menu notations. The strongest safety signal comes from consistent, proactive communication between guests, servers, and the kitchen.
