Melrose Kitchen - Bergues

The menu is built around gluten-free items (pastries, avocado toast on GF bread, acai bowls, granola) and 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 which states 'vegan, gluten-free and no refined sugar products'. There is no current accreditation from Coeliac UK or Coeliac Society of Ireland (which cover different geographies). The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing ingredients (e.g. some items may contain gluten), but the near-entire menu is GF. Cross-contamination is mitigated by dedicated equipment and staff training, though the venue is not 100% GF.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Vegan

confidence 85% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

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.

Vegetarian

confidence 85% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

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.

Sugar-free

confidence 80% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

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.

Dairy-free

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 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.

Nut-free

confidence 50% ·

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

Egg-free

confidence 50% ·

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 menu includes vegan cookies and pastries which are likely egg-free, but there is no explicit mention of egg-free preparation or dedicated equipment. Some items may contain eggs. Staff are described as knowledgeable about allergies and can accommodate requests, but evidence is thin. Call ahead to confirm specific egg-free options.

Soy-free

confidence 50% ·

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.

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.
