Review of Oranž

I came here with my family this evening, as it was the only restaurant on this app that was open on a Sunday evening, and we were very hungry after a long drive from Dubrovnik. Overall it was a negative experience. I asked about the safety of a salmon and quinoa dish, and the server was completely unsure of whether I could have it. I needed to tell him to ask the chef, and then requested the GF rigatoni if the chef felt it was safer. Someone else brought out the pasta (which was actually penne) with the rest of my family’s food. As I was asking the new server whether this was gluten free and whether the chef had been alerted to my allergy, he was dismissive and walking away from me as I was asking him. Our original server returned with the rest of our food, and I again asked him to clarify, at which point the other server returned (now introduced as the chef). I asked about allergy precautions that were taken in the kitchen (fresh water, washed hands, new gloves). The chef became defensive and told me that people with allergies should not eat here. I’m not sure whether a language barrier played a role here, but overall I felt that the seriousness of Celiac Disease was dismissed. For what it’s worth, the rest of my family felt that the food was so-so and nothing special. They also forgot to deliver my brother’s side dish, possibly because our server did not take notes as we placed our order. The rigatoni went uneaten because I just wasn’t comfortable eating here. For someone with a gluten intolerance, this seems to be okay though you may have very limited options. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone with Celiac, and neither would the chef.

Celiac friendly?

No
