Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

The entire kitchen is vegan, meaning no dairy is used in any dish. A blog notes the owner is lactose intolerant and 'got used to eating vegan'. The third-party directory states dishes are 'lactose-free'. The shared kitchen and fryer are not dedicated dairy-free, but no dairy ingredients are present on site.

Sugar-free
confidence 55% ·
Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
The restauplant.com directory states ingredients 'are sugar-free'. This single third-party source claims sugar-free dishes, but no other sources corroborate this or describe kitchen practice around sugar (e.g., no added sugar vs. no sugar at all). Call ahead to confirm.
Coeliac · Gluten-free
confidence 35% ·
Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.
Several sources mention gluten-free options — HappyCow reviews say many items are GF, FindMeGlutenFree reports GF bread and dessert, and a third-party directory tags the venue 'Glutefree Yes'. However, there is no dedicated fryer, the venue is not a dedicated GF facility, and one review describes a menu labelling error where the soup of the day was marked GF but actually wasn't. Kitchen practice for coeliac safety is unverifiable from the available information.
Honest caveat: A menu labelling error was reported: the soup of the day was marked GF but turned out not to be — only caught because the customer checked with staff.
