What is Eatcrush?
A search of every dish in Cape Town’s restaurants, cafés and pubs: 7,402 venues, with 48,347 dishes read from 1,124 menus so far. Type a dish, a cuisine or a suburb, and see what each dish is free of.
How do you know if a dish is gluten free?
From the venue’s own menu first: labels like GF, GFO and DF and the menu’s legend. Where the menu has no label, from the ingredients it lists, and then a model’s judgement, which is checked when it is unsure. Every dish says which of these decided it, and when the menu was read.
Is it safe for coeliacs?
Eatcrush 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.
What does “can be made free” mean?
The kitchen offers a version without it on request, such as a gluten-free base or no aioli. The dish shows what to ask for, like “GF pasta +R4”, when the menu says.
How fresh are the menus?
Menus are re-read about monthly, sooner when they change. Every venue page shows the date its menu was read and links to the source. This index was built on 11 Nov 2026.
