Gluten-free rating
Reviewed by ACECOVA (list of 24 Sep 2026). Mixed kitchen: dishes with gluten are cooked in the same kitchen, so say you are coeliac when ordering.
- Note: Mixed kitchen: dishes with gluten are cooked in the same kitchen. Say you are coeliac when ordering.
- Note: The menu tags allergens per dish: bread, toast, fideuà and the tuna tataki with ponzu/soy are tagged gluten. The fried fish, squid 'a la romana' and croquetas are not tagged, but the venue does not say the fryer is gluten-free only: confirm.
How we know
Gluten is on the premises, but a coeliac association lists this place: ACECOVA’s current list of places it has reviewed, or FACE naming this outlet in its programme. Shared premises: tell staff you are coeliac when you order. A chain’s FACE agreement alone does not put an outlet in this tier.
