Giraffe

Official website lists a dedicated 'Gluten Free / Dairy-Free Menu' PDF, confirmed as a 'separate gluten-free menu' by multiple verified-celiac and symptomatic-celiac community reviewers. Venue explicitly stated 'not a gluten-free kitchen however care would be taken.' Staff are knowledgeable, will clean kitchen space and change gloves for GF orders. Fryer status conflicts across reviews: one symptomatic celiac reports 'dedicated fryer,' another reports 'no dedicated fryer' but 'other dedicated [GF] equipment.' Atly classifies the venue as 'Accommodating Gluten-Free' (not celiac-friendly). No accreditation.

Dairy-free

confidence 0.60 ·

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

Official venue website features a named 'Gluten Free / Dairy-Free Menu' as a standalone PDF, indicating dairy-free dishes are explicitly identified on a dedicated separate menu. No evidence of dedicated dairy-free equipment or separation protocols beyond those associated with GF preparation; shared kitchen inferred from GF community reports. Atly reviewer noted GF and DF options taste great; FirstTable lists dairy-free options as a venue feature.
