Despensa N.6

Despensa N.6 operates a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen, certified by the APC (Portuguese Association of Celiacs / Associação Portuguesa de Celíacos). The venue states explicitly that it does not use wheat in its kitchen, and that there is no risk of cross-contamination. Multiple symptomatic coeliac reviewers report zero symptoms.

Multiple sources confirm vegan options exist and are labelled on the product menu (e.g., 'VEGAN' tags on Banana Bread, Bolo Vegan de Limão, granolas, nut pastes). The kitchen is not described as fully vegan, and many items contain honey, eggs or dairy, so cross-contact in a shared prep space is possible.

Despensa N.6 markets itself as free of refined sugar, using only natural sweeteners such as honey, coconut sugar, tamarind, maple syrup, and fruit. Individual products on the online shop are labelled with their sweetener type. Not all items are unsweetened, but the refined-sugar-free labelling is systematic. The venue FAQ addresses diabetics directly.

Multiple FindMeGlutenFree reviewers tag the venue as 'Good for dairy-free' and the online shop labels several products 'SEM LÁCTEOS' (dairy-free). Dairy-containing products are also sold (e.g., mozzarella crepe, butter served at brunch), indicating a shared-kitchen context with labelled dairy-free options rather than a dedicated dairy-free environment.

Multiple reviewers note vegetarian options are available. A Wanderlog reviewer states 'nothing on the menu contains meat'; however this is anecdotal and the menu does include chicken dishes, so vegetarian items are present alongside non-vegetarian ones in a shared kitchen.

Several products are labelled 'SEM OVO' (egg-free) on the online shop menu, and FindMeGlutenFree aggregates one report of 'Good for egg-free'. Egg-containing items (omelettes, scrambled eggs, quiche) are also served, so this is a labelled option in a shared kitchen rather than a dedicated egg-free environment.

Some products are labelled 'SEM FRUTOS SECOS' (nut-free) on the online shop, but many products prominently contain almonds, hazelnuts and cashews (e.g., almond tart, hazelnut brownie, nut pastes). The kitchen handles nuts extensively, so nut-free items exist within a high-nut environment; cross-contamination risk is significant.
