What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Market Table (Market Table is largely gluten-free according to official guidance; item specifics can change, so verify at the table). Safe items include many salads, cheeses, fruits, and plant-based sides.
- Brazilian cheese bread (pão de queijo) and other table breads described as naturally gluten-free (tapioca flour-based).
- All meats served tableside are gluten-free in most cases; exceptions include the chicken items marinated in beer and a few other limited meats.
- Mashed potatoes, polenta, and caramelized bananas commonly appear as GF-side options when prepared without gluten-containing components (verify if any fryers or toppings could introduce cross-contact).
- Desserts and dairy-friendly options exist, with some GF desserts reported in practice (creme brûlée noted in multiple experiences as GF).
- An allergy list or nutrient/allergen guide is often provided to guests to help navigate.
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Cross-contamination risk exists, especially in a high-volume churrascaria environment.
- Some items may be prepared or served in shared fryers or in proximity to gluten-containing foods (e.g., certain fried sides or breads). When in doubt, request separate fryers or confirm how items are prepared.
- Marinated or seasoned meats can occasionally contain gluten-containing ingredients; guests report varying experiences depending on location and staff familiarity.
- The market buffet and certain salads can include items with gluten-containing components at times; asking for the allergen list and having a manager confirm is strongly advised.
- Menu changes and seasonal variants mean what’s GF can shift; ongoing confirmation with staff is important.
