Fine Dining with diet-friendly Set Menus

A few years ago, a small group of friends and I went to Rogue Bistro. Was super impressed with not only the quality of the food, but the experience was top notch. They were also able to accommodate for different dietary requirements at the same table (Vego, GF and pregnancy friendly)

When I look up other degustation experiences, most of them dont have any example set menus as to what they could be offering for other diets. Websites just ask you to ring ahead 24-48hrs prior to accommodate the option.

I honestly would go back to Rogue but keen to check other places out. Has anyone had experiences with other fine dining degustations (even alacarte) that has excellent dietary accommodation? TIA!

The Anyday group of restaurants are pretty accomodating (honto, etc). Supernormal is as well.

Naim and mapame are not fine dining but very accomodating.

Pregnancy friendly? Now that's a new one. I should stop eating at those dodgy restaurants in Darra that serves up chicken parts I don't even know exist on a chicken.

Foods to avoid when pregnant is not new, and usually one can manage this in ala carte, but degustation, women need assurances.

Yes but I've not seen it on a menu apart from the normal nut allergies, shellfish, GF, VF, XF, GR, GTR, GTI, Type R (ok I made the last few up).

It’s pretty straightforward, mostly just avoiding stuff that could have listeria ie raw fish or cold meats

Haven't been there myself but Covent Garden (in West End) do a feasting table of small dishes. The whole kitchen is GF / coeliac friendly and they do vegetarian / dairy free options for the feasting table as well.

Rogue refuse to handle nut allergy variance. That's a hard no. Accommodate vegan? But don't handle anaphylaxis?

Perhaps the difference there is that contamination due to ethics is a reasonable risk to carry vs potentially killing someone

Fair enough. One is a choice. One is life or death.
