Le Garde-Manger

Savoury buckwheat galettes are 100% buckwheat and gluten-free, but are prepared in a shared kitchen with a note that 'traces of gluten may remain'. Multiple coeliac diners report positive experiences, though one Nima test found gluten in a steak. No dedicated fryer or GF menu, but staff are knowledgeable and galettes are clearly marked as gluten-friendly. Shared equipment, cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

The venue states in its FAQ that it 'certainly can cater' for vegetarians, but requests pre-order. Menu includes vegetarian dishes such as goat cheese salad, tartiflette, and galette with plant-based mince. No dedicated kitchen or marked menu for vegetarian; accommodation depends on advance notice and staff availability.

✓ advance notice required
