What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Market Table items are gluten-free (100% GF per official FAQ-style content).
- Pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) is gluten-free.
- Most meats served at the table are gluten-free (with occasional historically noted exceptions; staff can confirm specifics on any given visit).
- The restaurant generally provides an allergen list or guide to help identify safe choices.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is a theoretical risk, especially around shared buffet-style areas.
- Bread items exist near the salad/market areas in some locations, and some items historically involve marinades or preparations that can contain gluten. A few reviews note items that are not GF or require careful selection.
- Mitigation approaches reported by guests include requesting the allergen list, having a manager review safe items, and choosing the Market Table + table-service meats as the primary GF pathway.
- For peace of mind, guests are advised to verify current practices with the location’s staff on the day of visit, especially regarding any changes to marinades, fryers, or bread handling.
