The menu includes many vegetarian-friendly dishes such as falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, and a vegan roll. The Spinach guide notes the menu is clearly marked for vegan friendliness, which likely extends to vegetarian options. Staff are described as knowledgeable. Shared kitchen with meat dishes, so cross-contamination is possible but the cuisine is naturally vegetarian-friendly.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Staff will clean the kitchen space and change gloves when asked, and are described as knowledgeable about gluten-free options. However, there is no dedicated gluten-free menu, no dedicated kitchen or fryer, and the venue is explicitly not a dedicated gluten-free facility. A coeliac guest at one location (Stella Fenicia in Italy) reported excellent gluten-free breakfasts, but this does not reflect kitchen practice across all branches. Best to call ahead and confirm procedures.

Honest caveat: Multiple FindMeGlutenFree listings warn the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility and may not be safe for coeliac disease.

The Spinach guide reports the menu is 'clearly marked' for vegan friendliness, and user reviews mention a vegan roll and a Beyond Burger. However, no details on dedicated equipment or cross-contamination protocols are available. Staff are described as having a 'basic understanding' of vegan needs. Confirm with staff before ordering.

Kosher

confidence 30% ·

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.

The Degusta Panama menu includes a section heading 'Carne Kosher' but provides no certifying body, details, or explanation. This is a thin signal only; call ahead to confirm if kosher certification is current and what level of supervision is in place.
