The Left Bank

The Left Bank has a dedicated gluten-free menu with many items available GF on request, including brunch, burgers with GF buns, and several desserts. Multiple community reports confirm a dedicated gluten-free fryer and knowledgeable staff who will clean the kitchen space and change gloves. The menu itself advises diners to let their server know of any allergies and that some dishes are only available GF on request, and asks customers to mention ordering from the GF menu. While the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free and one older review reports getting sick, the overwhelming recent consensus from coeliac diners is positive, with numerous reports of no symptoms. This is a strongly trusted option for coeliac dining in a shared kitchen.
