Our experience at Swiss Chalet in Truro went so well, we chose to eat there two nights in a row with our celiac son while attending a hockey tournament in Truro. Both evenings the servers were very knowledgeable while helping him navigate the menu. He was able to eat chicken one evening and ribs the second. Super friendly staff made for a very enjoyable meal.

Depends on your waitress. The first time I ordered a baked potato it came out uncut with individual butter and sour cream, the next time it came cut and already dressed with butter and sour cream and I definitely had some cross contamination issues

Yes. First when you order, mention gluten allergy. The chicken and dipping sauce are gluten free. Avoid fries. I order the steamed vegetables and/or baked potato.

I've ordered from this restaurant a few times and had good experiences. They told me that they have a dedicated fryer (so fries are gluten-free and dairy-free) and that the chicken (from the 1/4 chicken meal) and garden salad (without dressing) were also gluten-free and dairy-free. I think their house salad dressing is actually dairy-free and gluten-free but I didn't try it. My food was labelled gluten-free and dairy-free. Overall I felt safe and I will order from this restaurant again.

Chicken and chalet sauce are GF. The fryer is used to cook everything fried- fries, fish, wings etc.

A standard restaurant for me. The deep fryer is NOT dedicated. So fries are not gluten free. The rotisserie chicken and baked potato are ok. The staff seem informed.
