Vegan

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu clearly marks vegan items and the owner/chef asks about dietary restrictions at the table, offering tailored advice. The kitchen is shared with fish and dairy dishes, so cross-contact is possible. Vegan options are extensive and made from scratch, including house-made seitan.

Honest caveat: One reviewer reports the owner refused to serve bruschetta to a customer whose wife was vegan, suggesting dietary preferences may be managed arbitrarily rather than systematically.

Vegetarian

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The restaurant is primarily vegetarian with a large menu of vegetarian dishes. The owner asks about dietary restrictions and advises accordingly. The kitchen is shared with fish and seafood, so cross-contact is possible.

Honest caveat: One reviewer reports the owner refused to serve bruschetta to a customer whose wife was vegan, suggesting dietary preferences may be managed arbitrarily rather than systematically.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

A single review mentions a gluten-free tiramisu, and the kitchen uses rye flour for pizzas and pancakes. There is no marked menu for gluten-free items, no dedicated equipment, and no staff training on coeliac safety. The kitchen also uses wheat flour (seitan is made in-house). Call ahead to discuss needs.
