abcV is a plant-forward restaurant helmed by Jean-Georges Vongerichten. It explicitly advertises 'vegan and gluten free options.' The menu contains many plant-based dishes but also includes eggs, dairy (yogurt, cheese, ice cream), and honey, so the kitchen is shared. The menu footer says 'gluten-free and vegan options available' and 'please ask about dairy alternatives, vegan and gluten free options,' indicating awareness and some accommodation. No per-dish vegan marking appears, and there is no dedicated prep.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

B
confidence 55%

The menu explicitly states 'gluten-free and vegan options available' and lists at least one named gluten-free item, gluten free almond flour pancakes. The homepage advertises 'vegan and gluten free options.' Yet the menu also contains sourdough toast, whole wheat pita, semolina pancakes, whole wheat pasta (carrot paccheri), and beer on tap, which is clear evidence of a shared gluten environment. No dedicated gluten-free fryer or kitchen is mentioned. The footer note 'please ask about dairy alternatives, vegan and gluten free options' suggests accommodation is request-based. Tier D is appropriate: gluten-free options exist and are signalled, but the kitchen is shared.

Dairy appears widely across the menu (yogurt, aged alpine cheese, cheddar, ice cream, whipped cream). The brunch footer says 'please ask about dairy alternatives,' indicating staff will try to accommodate but there is no marked dairy-free menu and no structural dairy-free prep area evidenced. Tier E: available on request.

Tree nuts and peanuts are present throughout the menu, including almond butter, pistachio, maple peanut butter, almond milk, marcona almond ravioli, pecan chili crunch, hazelnut baguette, hazelnut butter, walnut bolognese, and other items. No nut-free labelling or dedicated nut-free preparation is mentioned. Any accommodation would need to be arranged individually with staff. The restaurant earns a Tier D rating at best; the high prevalence of nuts means caution is warranted for those with anaphylaxis.
