⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

  • The restaurant is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contact risk remains a possibility if strict protocols are not followed. Several patrons emphasize the importance of communicating needs up front and requesting GF-specific setups (e.g., separate pots or two-burner tables) to minimize risk.
  • There are isolated negative experiences where gluten-containing items were introduced or miscommunications occurred. While these are not the norm, they illustrate that safe dining relies on vigilant staff, clear labeling, and careful kitchen practices—especially when diners are sharing space with non-GF guests.
  • Given fondue is cooked at the table and often involves shared pots, some guests choose to have the entire table dine GF to simplify safety, or to request dedicated cookware and dippers.
