HappyCow reviews say there are 'lots of clearly labelled vegetarian options' on the menu. The venue itself says vegan adjustments can be made, so vegetarian dishes are straightforward. No dedicated equipment is mentioned, but the options are plentiful and staff are described as helpful. Shared kitchen risk is present but manageable.
The venue lists 'Vegan options' as a feature and offers a 'Vegan Lunch Box' with teriyaki or agedashi tofu, veggie sushi, gyoza, spring roll, and miso soup. However, there is no marked menu with per-dish symbols, no information about dedicated equipment or staff training for vegan preparation, and no mention of cross-contamination protocols. Best to confirm with staff when ordering.
A HappyCow review reports that many menu items can be made vegan, marked with a * on the menu, and that the kitchen will accommodate off-menu requests like fried tofu. The kitchen is not dedicated, and the menu's marking is limited to a single symbol rather than a full allergen system.
The Stonegrill's concept—raw meats and fish cooked on a hot stone at the table—means most dishes are naturally gluten-free. The menu is not marked for gluten, but the French owner is reported to be knowledgeable and understanding about allergies. There is no dedicated fryer and the kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination is possible. Call ahead to discuss your needs with the owner.
Honest caveat, No dedicated fryer; shared kitchen with gluten-containing items.
The menu includes items that can be modified to be vegan, such as the Low Carb Nudie Bowl (ask for dairy-free option) and vegetarian tacos (remove slaw and mayo, add BBQ sauce). However, the kitchen is shared with meat and dairy dishes, and there is no dedicated equipment or staff training reported. Vegan options require active customer requests and staff accommodation.
Honest caveat, No dedicated vegan preparation area; cross-contamination risk from shared kitchen.
The venue has a separate vegetarian menu with some items noted as vegan (e. g., moussaka, vegetable stack, vegetarian curry). Staff are described as knowledgeable about vegan requirements and can confirm which dishes are vegan or can be made vegan. However, the kitchen is shared with meat dishes, so cross-contact is possible. HappyCow advises confirming vegan status directly with the venue.
A user review mentions 'lots of food options including vegetarian', but no details on kitchen practice or cross-contamination are available from the venue. Call ahead to confirm vegetarian options and preparation.
A Wanderlog review mentions 'vegan' options, but no details on how these are prepared or whether cross-contamination is managed. Call ahead to confirm.
A single user review mentions a vegetarian burger was 'made vegan without mayo'. This is a thin positive signal from a customer, not a kitchen practice statement. Call ahead to confirm vegan options and cross-contamination practices.
TripAdvisor tags the venue with 'Gluten free options' but no menu, kitchen details, or verified reviews back this up. The tag alone is not enough to know whether the kitchen can safely serve coeliac diners.
The resort's restaurant and breakfast options are listed as offering gluten-free choices, and staff can arrange for gluten-free meals with advance notice. However, no details are available about kitchen practices, dedicated equipment, or cross-contamination protocols. Call ahead to confirm specific needs.
The restaurant's own website says it will adjust dishes for dietary requirements, and the Booking. com listing advertises gluten-free options. One guest review from a coeliac says staff made a big effort. There is no marked menu, no dedicated kitchen information, and no formal accreditation. Call ahead to confirm how they manage cross-contamination.
