Review of Café Benelux

I was so excited to try this place based on the reviews. I explained to the server that I had celiac and ordering gluten free was a necessity, not a lifestyle choice. She seemed on board, so I was surprised when the mussels I ordered to share came out with bread in the pot. She took it back and ensured me that she let the kitchen know again about me having celiac. I was getting a little nervous and should have just left. She then brought out my burger and there were a few fries on the side salad. Since the fries aren't gluten free (no dedicated fryer), this was a no go for me. If they were careless enough to leave gluten food on my plate twice, who knows how many times gluten could have touched my food in the back. Unfortunately, it was too much of a risk for me and I left without touching the food. My husband spoke to the manager who was very apologetic. He comped the mussels and burger. Hopefully they will learn from the incident and serve others safe GF food.

Celiac friendly?

No
