Hugo's Restaurant..my new find

I don't know why I always assumed Hugo's was just your regular diner type place. When I got wind of it being allergen friendly, I decide to check out the Studio City location.

This is literally the most allergen friendly restaurant I've ever been to. Their entire menu is allergen coded with vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and nut free options clearly marked. If you tell them you have allergies, they put a red circle on your table to notify your server. The staff is extremely knowledgable about what is in the food and how to modify it (though many dishes don't even need modification).

Now let's talk food. I didn't order dinner, but I did order dessert, the brownie tort that is. This is a heavenly creation, and it's gluten free and vegan! It's to die for. It reminds me of lava cakes I used to order. If that weren't enough their menu states (about the torte), "they are so full of whole ingredients we consider them more a nutritious food source than any ordinary dessert." So it was good for me to... I'll take that.

I am definitely returning to Hugo's as soon as I can! Their menu is huge and intriguing; hello gf pineapple coconut pancakes ;) They have locations in Studio City, West Hollywood, and Agoura Hills.
