What diners say

No diner ratings yet.

Ratings are diners’ own experience. They don’t make a dish safe; neither do we.

Where this comes from

Allergen answers come from the menu’s labels first, then the listed ingredients, then a model’s judgement checked when unsure. How allergen status is decided.

Questions about Bistro 61

Does Bistro 61 have gluten-free options?

Yes: 3 dishes are gluten free as served, and 9 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 3 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is Bistro 61 coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Our menu contains allergens and is prepared in a kitchen that handles nuts, shellfish, and gluten.”. Chef’s Kiss reads each venue’s own menu and says where every answer came from. It never calls a dish safe: kitchens share fryers, boards and flour, and menus change. If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, confirm with staff before you order.
