Review of Pavillon Snack Bar

Based on the reviews here, I went in to this place. Upon hearing I was celiac, the owner told me very directly I should not eat there and that it’s not safe. Yes, the owner’s sister has celiac and so he gets it and he said his sister does not eat there and basically said cross-contamination is guaranteed and the way their kitchen is set up there’s nothing they can really do about it except not make anything with wheat flour. So this was rather disappointing but I appreciate the honesty. I’m going to give a lower star rating just because I think the high star rating is misleading to users of the app who want to quickly see whether a place is safe. A high number of reviews and high star rating suggest a place is safe. The owner may be being overly cautious, but he did not mince words. If you’re only gluten intolerant (non-celiac), I’m sure the food is great.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?

— Not at all

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu
