40 Places to Eat Gluten Free in PARIS

I am very excited to be making my third visit to the beautiful City of Lights in September this year and have, as every good coeliac must, been doing bucket loads of research into the gluten free options now available. I am so happy to report that Paris in 2018 is now being very, very kind to coeliacs. There are so many new players in the gluten free crowd there since my last trip in 2012, when Helmut Newcake had recently burst onto the scene as the first 100% gluten free patisserie in Paris. It truly does make an adventure into a new culture that much more special when you can engage yourself fully in the local cuisine. With these new establishments coeliacs too can now eat a baguette, snack on a croissant and savour gorgeous tartlets and crème patisseries that delight the senses. Thank you Paris for coming on board with gluten free dining.

I have of course meticulously planned our itinerary so that I can incorporate as many of the new gluten free eateries into our 4 day stay as possible. As I have not yet eaten at them, apart from Helmut Newcake of course, which was simply heaven, I will just list them for you below and you can see for yourself which might be close enough to visit on your next trip and try for yourself. The majority are in the Marais and Opera district…so I would definitely recommend staying closer to that part of town.

I have listed just the cafes and restaurants that specialise in gluten free cuisine. There are of course many restaurants in Paris that will now cater well for gluten free upon request. I recommend that you do some further research to find some close to your hotel, as most of the establishments listed below cater for brunch/lunch, but very few for a late dinner. They have been grouped according to their proximity to each other (districts/arrondissements). Be aware of their particular hours and days of operation to avoid wonderful planning and anticipation that goes unrewarded because they are not open for your planned visit. Many close on Sundays and Mondays.

And if you would like some guidance as to how to create the perfect Paris escape that you have always dreamed of, take a peek at my blogs How To Fall In Love With Paris: 7 Must Do One Day Itineraries Part I and Part II or an expanded version of this blog at Enjoying Paris Gluten Free on celiactravel.com
