Questions about St. Alma

Does St. Alma have gluten-free options?

Yes: 12 dishes are gluten free as served, and 7 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 1 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is St. Alma coeliac friendly?

The venue notes: “Our masa is made fresh in-house, and the kitchen handles nuts and shellfish.”. 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.

Guacamole (Gluten free available on request); Prawn Tostada (Gluten free available on request); Chicken Tinga Empanadas (Gluten free available on request); Mushroom Carnita Empanadas (Gluten free available on request); Barramundi Taco (Gluten free available on request); Grilled Octopus (Gluten free available on request).
