In this installment of our Best of Gluten-Free in Paris series, we round up our favorite spots to enjoy a gluten-free lunch among friends. Cozy and welcoming, the following restaurants will make you want to linger a little longer, and maybe even have a second round of gluten-free dessert!
GF eating in Paris isn’t limited to just loaves of bread—it’s possible to enjoy a whole meal sans gluten if you know where to go! These gluten-free restaurants can be reserved for your next lunch without any worries about off-limits menu items.
Café Mareva serves sweet potato waffles with a large selection of toppings, making it a fun spot for a casual lunch.
La Guinguette d’Angèle is a great address for vegetarian and-gluten free lunch options, with fresh salads and homemade cookies standing out.
Café Pinson is a go-to for a gluten-free lunch, fresh-pressed juice, and laid-back environment. Bears and Raccoons is a perfect little GF sandwich spot.
42 Degrés specializes in raw food, with mostly vegan and gluten-free options. If you are looking for organic options that are also vegan and gluten-free, check out Abattoir Végétal in the 18th arrondissement.
Another classic Paris eating establishment often overlooked by the sans gluten set is Breizh Café. This famed crêperie serves homemade buckwheat galettes that are 100% gluten-free and 100% delicious.
