Calas Cafe
Gluten-free optionsCalas Café revives calas, the Creole rice fritters once sold in the streets of the French Quarter, flavoured with nutmeg and vanilla and served with lemon curd or pistachio curd. Residency at the Cabildo on Jackson Square, Thursday to Monday. The calas are described as gluten-free; the rest of the offer is not described, so ask on site about cross-contamination.
No dedicated menu; adaptable dishes are flagged.
Good to know if you have celiac disease
Cross-contamination risk. Mixed kitchen, not entirely dedicated to gluten-free: contact with or shared preparation alongside gluten-containing products remains possible, even with no specific mechanism identified to date.
Unverified claim. The establishment claims to be gluten-free, but Nutrixe has not yet been able to verify it.
