Safety Overview

Celiac safety assessment and key features

60%
Moderate

Pao by Paul Qui is the kind of spot that makes you wish the phrase "gluten-free fine dining" was a little less rare in Miami. The staff notes that several menu items can be made gluten-free upon request, and they're transparent about allergens with clear labeling—so you’re never left guessing. But let’s be real: this isn’t a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, and shared prep spaces mean cross-contact is a possibility, especially with all that artisan bread and panko flying around. If you’re highly sensitive or have celiac, you’ll want to have a detailed chat with your server and maybe even speak directly with the chef about your needs—because while culinary creativity abounds, foolproof celiac safety isn’t guaranteed.
