A vegetarian restaurant (Lacto-Ovo) with a daily-changing menu. The owner is described as 'super friendly' and 'knows customers coming here since years and years', suggesting personal investment in the food. Multiple reviews confirm all dishes can be made vegan on request.

Vegan

confidence 0.65 ·

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

The restaurant is vegetarian (Lacto-Ovo) and offers vegan options on request. Multiple reviews confirm staff will accommodate vegan requests (e.g., swapping yogurt for extra fruit). However, one review reports an egg was served on a plate ordered as vegan, and another notes the waitress 'wasn't super aware of how to make it vegan'. The daily menu often includes non-vegan items (yogurt, egg) by default. No dedicated vegan kitchen or marked menu.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.30 ·

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

No sources discuss gluten-free options or coeliac safety at this venue. The restaurant serves seitan (wheat gluten) as a main ingredient, which is contraindicated for coeliac. The venue does not appear on FindMeGlutenFree's Lima listings, suggesting it is not known as a gluten-free friendly option. Community help wanted.

Dairy-free

confidence 0.40 ·

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

The restaurant serves dairy (yogurt with the set meal, cheese-based dishes). Multiple reviews note that vegan options are available on request, implying dairy can be omitted. However, no dedicated dairy-free kitchen or marked menu. One review mentions a 'glass of plain yogurt' served with the meal of the day. Community help wanted.
