Traveling with dietary restrictions can add another layer of planning to any vacation. For gluten-free travelers, even something as simple as breakfast can require checking menus, asking questions, and considering how food is prepared. At 5 Ojo, we want breakfast to be one less thing you have to worry about during your Eureka Springs getaway.
Guests of 5 Ojo are encouraged to let us know about dietary restrictions before their stay. Advance notice allows us to modify our freshly prepared breakfasts to accommodate gluten-free diets and other dietary needs. That means you can still enjoy the complete bed and breakfast experience rather than settling for a packaged snack or limited substitute.
Enjoy a Gluten-Free Breakfast in Eureka Springs
Every morning at 5 Ojo begins with a freshly prepared, made-from-scratch breakfast. Depending on the day’s menu, gluten-free guests may enjoy favorites such as fresh fruit parfaits with gluten-free granola, vegetable frittatas, herbed egg soufflés, breakfast tacos with gluten-free tortillas, crispy breakfast potatoes, fresh fruit, house-made salsas, and gluten-free versions of many of our baked specialties.
If you have celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, food allergies, or other dietary restrictions, please let us know when making your reservation. Advance notice allows us to plan your breakfast carefully and make appropriate modifications.
Our kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so we cannot guarantee a completely gluten-free environment. However, we take dietary requests seriously and make every reasonable effort to accommodate our guests and minimize the possibility of cross-contact.
