100% vegan kitchen means no dairy on premises. All milk-based items use plant alternatives (oat milk throughout the drinks menu). 'Fromage frais façon chèvre' and 'Assiette de fromages' are explicitly plant-based ('végétales affinées'). Structurally impossible for dairy cross-contamination.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

The venue describes itself as 'majoritairement sans gluten' (mostly gluten-free) — not fully gluten-free. Gluten is present in multiple dishes (samoussa, focaccia, moelleux, naan, beer, and all oat-milk hot drinks). The menu lists allergens per dish including 'gluten', allowing identification of gluten-containing items. There is no dedicated gluten-free kitchen or fryer evidenced, and no coeliac accreditation. Coeliacs can identify safer dishes via per-dish allergen listings, but shared kitchen risk is acknowledged by the 'majoritairement' qualifier.

Nut-free

confidence 0.65 ·

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Tree nuts ('fruits à coque') and peanuts ('arachides') appear across multiple dishes (samoussa, focaccia, chou-fleur/naan, assiette de fromages, tartelette, moelleux, ganache, congee). Per-dish allergen lists are provided so nut-allergic diners can identify which dishes to avoid, but nuts are a significant ingredient throughout the menu and cross-contamination risk in a shared kitchen cannot be excluded. Not appropriate for severe nut anaphylaxis without direct staff consultation.

Soy-free

confidence 0.65 ·

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Soy ('soja') appears in the majority of dishes (frittata, samoussa, congee, focaccia, fromages, tartelette, moelleux, ganache) as tofu, tempeh, miso, and plant-based dairy alternatives. Per-dish allergen listings are provided, but soy is so pervasive that the kitchen is not suitable for those with severe soy allergy.
