Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

58%
Moderate

Taurinus Brazilian Steak House tempts with classic Brazilian churrasco and those iconic cheesy pão de queijo, but it's not a dedicated gluten-free spot. The staff reportedly handles allergy requests with genuine care—I've heard from fellow celiacs that they're attentive, and most of the meats are naturally gluten-free. Still, there's no separate prep space or formal protocols, so cross-contact is a real possibility. If you're comfortable navigating shared kitchens and enjoy asking lots of questions, you might find a satisfying (and meaty!) meal here, but true peace of mind for strict celiacs is harder to come by.
