How to Identify Allergens

Allergen information is available for all menu items:

  • Check the menu item description for allergen tags
  • View detailed allergen information on each product page
  • Contact us directly if you need specific allergen information
  • Speak with our staff when placing your order

Cross-Contamination

Despite our best efforts to prevent cross-contamination, our kitchen prepares food containing all major allergens. We use shared equipment and preparation areas, which means traces of allergens may be present in dishes that don't list them as ingredients.

If you have a severe allergy, please inform us when ordering so we can take extra precautions. However, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment.

Special Dietary Requirements

We offer options for various dietary requirements, including:

  • Vegetarian dishes
  • Vegan options
  • Gluten-free alternatives (where available)
  • Dairy-free options

Please note that while we accommodate these requirements, cross-contamination may still occur.

Ingredient Changes

We occasionally update our recipes and ingredients. Allergen information is kept up-to-date, but if you have a severe allergy, we recommend confirming allergen details each time you order, especially if it's been a while since your last order.
