Vegetarian or vegan? What the labels mean
Vegetarian dishes can contain dairy and eggs. Vegan dishes contain neither. Every venue labels its menu differently, so we show the venue's own labels and note where they are unclear. Where a dish is marked "on request", ask the kitchen. For every venue, the Dublin menus page lets you filter by vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free.
Questions
Are there vegan options at these restaurants?
Yes. Café en Seine, Bóbós, Drury Buildings, The Woollen Mills, Elephant & Castle and The Winding Stair all label some dishes vegan, and Acapulco says vegan versions are available on request. Each venue page has a vegan filter.
Do these restaurants cater for allergies?
Many publish allergen information, and we show it on each page, but menus change. Always tell staff about an allergy before you order.
Are the dishes and prices up to date?
Each page is based on the venue's own menu and shows the date we last checked it. Prices change, so confirm with the restaurant.
