Cafe Els
Multiple sources confirm the cafe offers gluten-free options and accommodates coeliac diners. Community reviews mention staff catered well for a coeliac guest and the Atly listing says they offer a variety of gluten-free dishes. However, the menu pages don't show explicit gluten-free markings on individual dishes, and there's no mention of a dedicated fryer or kitchen area, so cross-contamination risk in the shared kitchen is not addressed. Best to discuss needs with staff when ordering.
