Per-allergen evidence
Cafe Andaluz marks gluten-free items on the menu and provides a detailed allergen guide. All paellas are gluten-free, and around half of the tapas and desserts are GF. The kitchen is shared, not dedicated, and the venue is not accredited by a coeliac society. GF dishes are brought out separately and announced. Staff knowledge appears good based on community reports, but cross-contamination risk exists in a shared tapas kitchen.

An Atly listing describes the venue as celiac friendly, with a dedicated gluten-free menu, trained staff, a low risk of cross-contamination, and a wide gluten-free selection.fetched May 26, 2026Staff can accommodate requests, and the menu includes several vegetarian tapas options. The tapas format makes it easy to choose veggie dishes, though there is no dedicated vegetarian kitchen or equipment. Patatas bravas are fried in a shared fryer, so they are not suitable for strict vegetarians concerned about cross-contact with meat.
A separate vegan menu is available on request and includes a vegan paella not listed on the main menu. Vegan options are limited, around 3 tapas plus sides. Patatas bravas are fried in a shared fryer with chicken, so they are not suitable for strict vegans. Staff understand vegan requirements and will check with the kitchen. It is best to ask for the vegan menu and confirm dishes are prepared without animal products.
The allergen guide includes dairy, and certain menu items are labelled as dairy-free. A single reviewer described the venue as 'good for dairy-free'. There is no separate dairy-free kitchen or dedicated equipment. Staff can provide guidance on dairy-free options upon request, though cross-contamination remains possible in a shared kitchen environment.
Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
