Café do Alto

Menu items are labelled for gluten-free (Atly community reviews mention clear GF labels and knowledgeable owner Patricio, though FindMeGlutenFree reports 'Not a gluten-free menu'). The venue serves regular gluten-containing dishes and is not dedicated. Atly flags 'Some risk of cross-contamination' and 'Trained staff'. Multiple coeliac diners report safe experiences, but shared kitchen means cross-contamination risk is acknowledged.

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

Many vegan options clearly marked on the menu (HappyCow and Atly reviews, Atly community). The kitchen is shared with meat and non-vegan dishes, so cross-contamination is possible. Staff are helpful and knowledgeable.
