The Vegan Lab

The Vegan Lab operates as a 100% vegan restaurant. Every dish is inherently free of animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, honey, and any other animal-derived ingredient. No cross-contamination risk for animal-based allergens exists, because none of those ingredients are present in the building. This is structurally guaranteed by the restaurant being fully vegan, not merely a menu with labelled options.

As a fully vegan restaurant, all menu items are also vegetarian, and no meat, poultry, fish, or seafood are ever on the premises. The 100% vegan kitchen makes accidental vegetarian cross-contact with non-vegetarian ingredients such as meat or fish structurally impossible.

The kitchen is 100% vegan, meaning no dairy products of any kind (milk, cheese, cream, butter, yoghurt) are ever present in the building. Dairy cross-contamination risk is zero because the ingredient itself is not stocked. Cheese substitutes are dairy-free by definition.

The venue is 100% vegan, so no eggs, whether whole eggs, egg whites, or any egg-derived ingredient, are used in any dish or stored in the kitchen. Cross-contamination with egg is impossible, as the allergen is never present on site.

Multiple user reviews and menu descriptions mention 'gluten-free' options such as waffles, cupcakes, trifle, and 'many gluten-free options'. These are isolated dish labels on a seasonally changing menu, not a consistent allergen-marking system. No source describes any cross-contact mitigations like a dedicated fryer, separate prep area, or GF-dedicated equipment. A negative review reports getting violently ill and describes the kitchen as 'filthy and disgusting', though the source of the illness is not confirmed as gluten. Calling ahead and discussing coeliac needs with the kitchen directly is recommended.

The menu includes a single passing mention of items not commonly found in Dahab, such as vegan cheeses and Beyond meat. Some vegan cheeses can contain tree nuts or coconut. Some baked goods on the menu may use nut flours. No source confirms whether nuts are used in the kitchen, whether dishes are labelled for nuts, or whether any cross-contact mitigations are in place. The restaurant can be called ahead of time to ask about specific nut-containing ingredients.
