Garden of Eating BYO Restaurant

The menu is not marked for gluten, but GF options are available (notably dessert) and there's a dedicated gluten-free fryer, according to a single community report. The chef makes his own dairy-free ice creams, which may also be GF. A coeliac diner reported a safe experience with dedicated fryer use. However, the kitchen is not dedicated GF—it's a shared kitchen—so cross-contamination risk exists. Best to call ahead and discuss your needs with the chef directly.

Dairy-free

confidence 60% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The chef, Wayne, makes his own dairy-free ice creams that complement every dessert, suggesting at least some dedicated DF preparation in the kitchen. The venue's official site and a community-sourced listing flag that the restaurant is 'good for dairy-free'. No marked menu, no dedicated dairy-free kitchen though. The ice cream is made in-house so it's likely well-controlled, but other dishes may contain dairy. Ask staff which savoury items can be made DF.
