El Gato Negro Tapas Manchester

El Gato Negro offers a separate gluten-free menu and an online allergen menu. Staff are generally knowledgeable and will annotate menus, flag GF dishes as they arrive, and modify dishes to avoid cross-contamination. However, the kitchen is shared and there is no dedicated fryer for all items (some fryers are used for gluten-containing foods). Multiple coeliac diners report positive experiences, but a few note inconsistent awareness and the need to check processes. Best for those comfortable with a shared kitchen and clear communication with staff.
