Reine & La Rue

Menu marks individual dishes GF (gluten-free), DF (dairy-free), and HP (halal product). Many dishes carry the GF mark across all courses. However, this is a shared kitchen (French fine-dining, not a dedicated GF kitchen), and one self-identified coeliac reviewer on Atly reports being accidentally served gluten mid-meal despite prior notification — confirming cross-contamination risk is real. The venue is allergen-aware with a marked menu but shared prep. One community reviewer also states 'Everything was able to be made gluten free', suggesting staff will accommodate. Not appropriate for high-sensitivity coeliacs.

Menu marks individual dishes GF (gluten-free), DF (dairy-free), and HP (halal product). Many dishes carry the GF mark across all courses. However, this is a shared kitchen (French fine-dining, not a dedicated GF kitchen), and one self-identified coeliac reviewer on Atly reports being accidentally served gluten mid-meal despite prior notification — confirming cross-contamination risk is real. The venue is allergen-aware with a marked menu but shared prep. One community reviewer also states 'Everything was able to be made gluten free', suggesting staff will accommodate. Not appropriate for high-sensitivity coeliacs.

Honest caveat: One verified coeliac on Atly reports being accidentally served gluten mid-meal despite advance notification, resulting in a reaction.

confidence 0.60 ·

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Menu marks individual dishes DF (dairy-free) across starters, mains, grill, sides, and one dessert. Shared kitchen environment; no dedicated dairy-free prep area evidenced. AGFG listing also flags 'Dairy Free Options'. Staff awareness is implied by menu marking.

Halal

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Menu marks individual dishes HP (Halal Product) across multiple courses including oysters, lobster, grill items, frites, and petit fours. No halal certification by a recognised body is evidenced; HP appears to be a self-declared ingredient-level claim rather than kitchen-wide or certified halal. Shared kitchen with non-halal items (e.g. wine-based sauces, charcuterie) also on the menu.

marked menu

Vegan

confidence 0.50 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Menu footer states 'Vegan menu available upon request'. No vegan dishes are marked on the standard menu. One dessert (Pumpkin seed ice cream, buckwheat, honeycomb, orange) is marked DF, GF, HP, V — but V here likely denotes vegetarian, not vegan, and honey is present. Advance notice required; quality will depend on shift.

Vegetarian

confidence 0.50 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Menu does not carry a V (vegetarian) symbol or dedicated vegetarian marking. AGFG lists 'Vegetarian Options' as a feature. One vegetarian-adjacent dish is present (Smoked carrot, toasted pumpkin, pistou, bitter leaf, honey — HP only). A vegan menu is noted as 'available upon request', implying vegetarian accommodation is possible, but no per-dish vegetarian marking exists on the standard menu.
