Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.
A verified coeliac blogger reports reading on multiple forums (including Find Me Gluten Free) that Haus Hiltl staff stated they have no cross-contact procedures and cannot guarantee anything is gluten-free. The blogger chose to skip the venue based on these reports. No source provides any positive evidence of gluten-free accommodation.
Honest caveat: Multiple forum reports cited by a verified coeliac blogger indicate staff state no cross-contact procedures and cannot guarantee gluten-free safety.
Reminder
Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
