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 Merlo

Does Merlo have gluten-free options?

Yes: 2 dishes are gluten free as served, and 2 more can be made gluten free on request, from the menu read 8 Nov 2026. Each dish shows whether the venue labelled it or it was read from the ingredients.

Is Merlo coeliac friendly?

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.

Free Range Eggs (Gluten free sourdough instead of toasted white); Avocado Toast (Housemade gluten free toast instead of ciabatta).
