The menu has a dedicated 'Veganos' subsection listing two desserts, and other items are marked as vegetarian, though vegan options beyond those two desserts are not explicitly identified. A cocktail review notes that vegetarian and gluten-friendly options are marked. No mention of vegan-specific equipment or training appears in available information. Shared kitchen cross-contamination risk is present.

The venue marks several dishes as 'gluten friendly' on its menu, and a cocktail blog review confirms that gluten-friendly options are clearly marked. However, there is no evidence of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, a dedicated fryer, or staff training. Cross-contamination is likely in a shared kitchen that also produces bread, pasta, and other gluten-containing items.
