Melrose Kitchen - Bergues

The venue's own website and menu emphasise 'Vegan & Gluten-free' as a core pillar; most items are vegan or can be made vegan (avocado toast without feta, acai bowls, smoothies, matcha lattes with plant milks, cookies). HappyCow reviews confirm 'plenty of vegan options' and that 'every single of their menu items is vegan or vegan capable'. Seven different plant milks are available. There is no Vegan Society Trademark accreditation documented, but the structural commitment (menu designed around vegan) places this at strong trusted.

Virtually everything on the menu is vegetarian or vegan (no meat served). The venue markets mostly vegan food which is inherently vegetarian. Staff are knowledgeable about cross-contamination and dietary needs.

The venue builds its menu around gluten-free items. These include pastries, avocado toast on GF bread, acai bowls, and granola. The venue explicitly markets itself as 'Vegan & Gluten-free'. Multiple coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree report no reactions, knowledgeable staff, and a dedicated kitchen space. This is supported by the venue's own homepage. The homepage states 'vegan, gluten-free and no refined sugar products'. There is no current accreditation from Coeliac UK or Coeliac Society of Ireland. These organisations cover different geographies. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing ingredients. Some items may contain gluten. However, the near-entire menu is gluten-free. Cross-contamination is mitigated by dedicated equipment and staff training. The venue is not 100% gluten-free.

The venue explicitly markets 'no refined sugar' as a core part of its identity (icons on website: 'No refined sugar'). Items are sweetened with natural alternatives (maple syrup, fruit). Multiple sources confirm the 'no refined sugar' commitment. This is a menu-wide policy, making it a strong structural fact.

The venue offers seven different plant-based milks and many items are dairy-free or vegan (acai bowls, porridge, avocado toast can be ordered without feta). FindMeGlutenFree reviewers note the venue is 'good for dairy-free'. However, some items may contain dairy (e.g. yoghurt in bowls, feta on toast unless requested without). Staff can accommodate dairy-free requests but the kitchen is not dedicated dairy-free.

Almond butter, pecan nuts, grilled almonds, and other nuts appear prominently across the menu. No nut-free protocol is mentioned. Staff are knowledgeable about allergies and can discuss available options, though the kitchen is not nut-free. Individuals with nut allergies should communicate clearly with staff.

The menu lists vegan cookies and pastries, which are likely egg-free, though the restaurant does not explicitly mention egg-free preparation or dedicated equipment. Some items may contain eggs. Staff are described as knowledgeable about allergies and able to accommodate requests, but evidence is thin. Calling ahead is recommended to confirm specific egg-free options.

HappyCow reviewers note that the venue does not offer soy milk but has oat and almond alternatives. Some items (e.g. cookies, bread) may contain soy. The venue is accommodating for other allergies but no dedicated soy-free protocol is documented. Best to inquire directly.
