Flax&Kale

The main Flax&Kale location (Carrer dels Tallers) has a clearly marked gluten-free menu and knowledgeable staff, but does not guarantee against cross-contamination and has no dedicated kitchen or fryer at this site; staff have directed celiac diners to the Passage location for safer preparation. The Passage location (now permanently closed) was reported by multiple community reviewers as a fully dedicated gluten-free kitchen with a dedicated fryer.

Honest caveat: Multiple independent reviewers at the Tallers location report that staff explicitly cannot guarantee cross-contamination-free food and have turned away celiac diners mid-meal.

Egg-free

confidence 0.40 ·

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Low-FODMAP

confidence 0.55 ·

Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.

One reviewer with IBS/FODMAP needs reports the kitchen could not accommodate requests to remove high-FODMAP ingredients (shiitake, spring onion), and the salad arrived with garlic vinaigrette; the reviewer explicitly states they would not return for FODMAP needs.

Reminder
