Per-allergen evidence
Vegan dishes are clearly marked on the menu with a leaf symbol, and multiple vegan diners report excellent, well-prepared options across starters, mains, and desserts. The kitchen has a dedicated vegan chef who knows how to prepare plant-based food. However, this is a shared kitchen that also serves meat, fish, and dairy dishes. HappyCow notes a community report that labelling may possibly be inaccurate, so double-check with staff. The restaurant offers oat milk for coffee and can veganise some vegetarian items on request.
