Aubergine

Aubergine marks gluten-free items on its menu, using an iPad system that filters by allergen, and staff generally have an awareness of gluten. Multiple diners have reported serious problems. The tablet system sometimes indicates gluten-containing dishes as gluten-free. One reviewer received a salad with a dressing that was not gluten-free. Another diner with celiac disease was given a dessert that included a biscuit caramel, which triggered a reaction. The kitchen is shared, meaning there is no dedicated gluten-free preparation space. There is no dedicated fryer, though a separate pot for gluten-free pasta has been reported. Confidence in the restaurant's gluten-free handling is moderate. Reviews are deeply split: some diners praise the staff's knowledge and the ease of filtering, while others describe inaccuracies on the menu and subsequent reactions. Aubergine is not a dedicated gluten-free facility and is not reliably safe for celiacs without thorough advance confirmation.

Aubergine's menu includes a vegetarian and vegan section, and several reviews note that the menu is well labelled. One reviewer, however, reported that the vegan and vegetarian section listed items that clearly contained dairy, which suggests possible mislabelling. Staff can answer questions about ingredients. Another reviewer warned that staff may not ask about allergies and that ingredients can be substituted without notice. The kitchen is shared, and no dedicated vegan preparation area is mentioned. Cross-contamination between vegan and non-vegan ingredients is possible.
