Alegre Bar and Dining

The menu marks individual dishes (gf) with a full allergen legend. Staff are consistently described as knowledgeable about coeliac disease and cross-contamination across 15+ community reviews. FindMeGlutenFree explicitly designates the venue as 'NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility.' Nearly all savoury items are GF; only two desserts (Banoffee, Carlota Cake) and a handful of cocktails contain gluten. Fryer status is contested: three FMGF reviewers independently report 'No dedicated fryer' and one notes the baja fish taco is 'marked as GF on the menu but isn't suitable for coeliacs, so the fryer isn't safe,' while two reviewers report a dedicated fryer or kitchen space.

The menu marks individual dishes (gf) with a full allergen legend. Staff are consistently described as knowledgeable about coeliac disease and cross-contamination across 15+ community reviews. FindMeGlutenFree explicitly designates the venue as 'NOT a dedicated gluten-free facility.' Nearly all savoury items are GF; only two desserts (Banoffee, Carlota Cake) and a handful of cocktails contain gluten. Fryer status is contested: three FMGF reviewers independently report 'No dedicated fryer' and one notes the baja fish taco is 'marked as GF on the menu but isn't suitable for coeliacs, so the fryer isn't safe,' while two reviewers report a dedicated fryer or kitchen space.

Honest caveat: Two independent reviewers report the fryer is shared: some GF-marked fried items may not be safe for coeliacs.

Nut-free

confidence 0.62 ·

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

The official menu marks most dishes nf (nut free), with some marked nfo (can be made nut free). One signature cocktail (Mezonte) is explicitly flagged '(contains nuts)'; the Banoffee dessert contains roasted macadamia and is marked nfo. Per-dish marking exists, but the kitchen is shared and nut-containing items are served.
