Ate here as been to one local to home and was impressed. It had a large GF menu with lots of options.
I was not able to order online and had to go to the bar with being a special order and Coeliac. When I ordered I was told what I had picked, despite being on a GF menu, it could have wheat in and it was up to me to decide if I wanted the nasi goreng or not. I opted to have a falafel sandwich on GF bread which passed the safety recommendation.
I was asked to read a disclaimer about the kitchen handling gluten etc. and was told my food would take longer (which I don’t mind if specially catered to)
My food came out first which was a surprise. It tasted great.
The server at the bar was quite sharp and short with me - maybe this was because it was lunch time but it felt like I was an inconvenience.
Would still recommend the lounges. I’ve certainly had a better experience pre ordering my meals from other sites though.
Been to Cinco a few times since I was diagnosed celiac & most of the options I liked previous I can still have GF. I’m vegetarian so had both the beyond burger meal with fries & the halloumi burger & fries. Both meals were great & accommodating. You just have to make sure you order at the bar to ensure they make everything GF & away from other food. Staff are always friendly, vibes & overall place are great. Plus it’s dog friendly.
*I need to update my review as I’ve since discovered all their desserts are a ‘May contains’ but it won’t say that on the menu. You have to check the ‘allergy matrix’ to find this out. Now I know why I was having symptoms two days after I ate a chocolate brownie here. Seems like restaurants have different rules for labelling what’s gluten free. The gf mains are mostly safe but make sure to check. For somewhere that has a gluten free menu and such a good reputation among the gluten free community I’m shocked. I’ll update this if that changes*
Only been for a tea and cake but they took my dietary very seriously and it’s served separately from non gluten with a little red flag. Would feel confident to eat here for a lovely breakfast. Caters well for vegans and vegetarians too. Not sure if they have a separate fryer so would be best to ask.

Fully dedicated GF menu. I was amazed by the variety of choices. I would difenetely recommend. They serve not only brunch, but full menu with main courses and desserts.
Extensive gf and gf vegan menus. Lovely food.
As with all Lounge restaurant, fabulous GF choices and amazing food for both GF and non GF eaters
Really friendly staff, great food
Very knowledgeable, food prepped in separate area. First time I've had Tapas since being gf, daughter had halloumi burger. Amazing service, too.
