Hugo's Restaurant
A West Hollywood institution on Santa Monica Boulevard, Hugo's describes itself with three words: vegan, gluten-free and allergy friendly. Its long menu labels dishes that are gluten-free or can be made gluten-free, and it calls out specific allergens in dish descriptions, noting where items contain nuts or where tofu dishes contain soy. The online ordering flow builds the conversation in, with an Allergy Alert item that asks guests to declare an allergy with their order. The kitchen serves breakfast through dinner, from almond-energy pancakes to tacos and pastas, with organic ingredients throughout.

ConfidentDiner collects allergen and preparation information from restaurants’ published materials, from restaurants themselves, and from diners. Information is dated and sourced, but menus, ingredients, suppliers, staff, and kitchen practices change without notice, and cross-contact can occur in any non-dedicated kitchen. Nothing on this site is medical advice or a guarantee that any restaurant or dish is safe for any individual. Always tell the restaurant about your allergy, confirm current practices directly before ordering, and make your own decision with your medical professional’s guidance.
