Gluten Free Paris: A Complete Guide (for Foodies)

Our Favorite Gluten Free Restaurants and Bakeries in Paris

We’re going to organize this guide into three sections: our favorite dedicated gluten free restaurants, dedicated gluten free bakeries, and grocery stores where you can find gluten free options.

Over the years, we’ve realized that it’s important to us to prioritize supporting the businesses that support the Celiac community.

That means doing our best to make it to every single dedicated gluten free restaurant and bakery in a city to include it in our guides. 

In this case, Matt did it (with one or two exceptions)! 

Generally speaking, I’m not someone who is going to wait until I show up to a restaurant to spring my questions on them and expect them to be able to serve me UNLESS it’s a place that gets great reviews from other people in the gluten free community. 

I use a combination of Google Maps, Instagram, and Findmeglutenfree to find restaurants that have been recommended by other Celiacs, and I go from there. 

A couple of rules for me: I don’t do pizza places or bakeries that are mixed, because I have recently gotten into baking bread and making pizza at home and flour ends up EVERYWHERE.

It must be impossible to keep them separate in a normal kitchen unless you have a completely separate prep area and oven, which most places just don’t have. 

There are a couple of crepe/galette places in Paris that get good reviews from gluten free people, but I did not go to either for the aforementioned reason. 

At the end of the guide, we’ll include a handy map of these gluten free restaurants and bakeries so that you can visualize how it all fits together and make plans for your specific trip. 

While there are certainly more options in Paris, depending on your risk tolerance, this is a collection of places that we feel offer the best shot at getting safe gluten free food in Paris.

Putting my cards on the table here – I think that if you’re a Celiac in France, you should focus on either dedicated gluten free restaurants and bakeries as much as possible. 

The French put flour in EVERYTHING, and breads and pastries are a huge part of the food culture. 

For that reason, the restaurants you will find below are either dedicated gluten free – that means no gluten in the kitchen, so the risk of cross-contact is low. 

Now, is this a perfect way to avoid cross-contact? Probably not perfect. It’s still up to you to communicate your needs to staff members and make sure they can meet your needs.

Is it an easy shortcut for finding places that are set up to serve Celiacs safely? I believe the answer is yes, which is why that’s how I’ve organized this guide and chosen the restaurants to include.

If you’re curious what our process for discovering and vetting gluten free spots looks like, you can read our gluten free FAQ. 

At the time of writing, there are at least 12 dedicated gluten free restaurants and 4 dedicated gluten free bakeries in Paris for you to choose from (some with multiple locations). 

Below, you’ll find our picks for the best gluten free restaurants, bakeries where you can make all of your Parisian pastry dreams come true, and other little details like grocery stores with gluten free options. 

BONUS: I’ve personally eaten at (almost) every single restaurant on this list! Over the last four years, I’ve been to Paris three times, including two trips that lasted longer than a week. I’ve covered a lot of gluten free ground in Paris. 

Dedicated Gluten Free Restaurants in Paris

If you’re looking for lunch, brunch, dinner, or anything in between, here are your best options in Paris. 

If you’re worried about not being able to communicate, spend the $9 on a French gluten free restaurant card, and you won’t have to stress about pulling up “I have Celiac Disease, is this gluten free” on Google Translate with a limited internet connection.

A reminder: Every single last place in this guide is 100% gluten free (dedicated gluten free). Minimal risk of cross-contact! 

There is one exception that I’d like to advocate for, which is Aji Dulce, a place in the 9th Arrondissement where you can get traditional Venezuelan-style arepas that are to die for. 

We love arepas (we seek them out everywhere we travel, if we can) and these were at the top of the list. They have one thing that contains gluten, and it goes in the fryer, so no yuca fries OR SWEET PLANTAINS (bummer) for you. 

However, the staff were friendly and helpful on my last visit, and they’ll help you figure out what you can and can’t eat (I’d suggest ordering an arepa without plantains, which is the main place that might trip you up). 

Little Nonna

I am always surprised at the number of 100% gluten free Italian restaurants in Paris. At the time of writing this, there are no less than four. 

Little Nonna, which is a few blocks away from the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées, was our favorite of the bunch. 

If you’re looking for amazing gluten free pizza in Paris, this is the place to go.

The crust, which is Neapolitan style, is actually bubbly! And the wood-fired oven really comes through in the taste too, which is a little unusual for gluten free pizza.

It was so good that it had us debating whether or not it was actually better than New Cascadia Traditional in Portland, Oregon, which is our favorite gluten free pizza of all time.

Our conclusion is that the crust at New Cascadia is better, but the toppings at Little Nonna come out on top. 

We had the Diavolo almost every time we’ve been here, which is their spicy pizza. Don’t skimp on the chili garlic oil, which is one of the best inventions in history, and should be drizzled generously over basically any food. 

We’ve also had the gnocchi, which is tossed in a tomato-based sauce with fresh mozzarella cheese. It was delicious, but the pizza was definitely the highlight of the meal for us. 

One other thing to know –- the pizzas are huge! We got a pizza and the gnocchi thinking that would be enough, and about halfway through the pizza Alysha turned to me and said “we probably should have just stuck with the pizza.”

Definitely make an effort to go to Little Nonna while you’re in Paris – I think it earns the top spot on our list of places to return to on our next trip (and we definitely talked about going back for a second pizza on this last trip). 

Update 2025: I’ve now been to Little Nonna three times in the past three trips, and it’s pretty clearly my favorite place to eat in Paris (also, their Tiramisu is really good, so save room for dessert!).

Cococo

I love meals that include food that is fun to eat. Along those lines, lunch at Cococo is consistently one of my favorite meals in Paris, and I’ve been there three times over my past three trips. 

It’s lunch only, and they do Japanese-style bento boxes, which is just a pure and unadulterated fun way to eat.

You pick your main dish, and get a big plate (or square box if it’s to-go) divided into sections with different bites, from rice to pickled veggies and everything in between. 

As far as the mains go, we’ve gotten the Japanese beef curry and the karaagué – which is a light and airy fried chicken – and both are fantastic. Plus, every accompaniment has us saying “oh, maybe this is my favorite” over and over again. 

Worth noting, they also have fish and veggie options for the main if you don’t eat meat. 

They have a great lunch menu that comes with soup (or tea), bento, and dessert. Both the daifuku – a little mochi ball that comes stuffed with fillings in a couple of flavors – and the tarts are excellent, and I’d highly recommend getting dessert here.

You can also get a bowl with rice, greens, and the main dish of your choosing, but we’d do the bento, which is a much more fun way of eating.

Everything is 100% gluten and lactose free, and they don’t use refined sugar. 

Thaisil

If you’re looking for a nice place to have a gluten free AND dairy free dinner – which is arguably the toughest meal to come by – in central Paris, I would definitely consider Thaisil (and probably make a reservation, because it’s small). 

For what it’s worth, if you were to make me choose between Thaisil and Kapunka, the other gluten free Thai restaurant in Paris, I would probably choose Thaisil (though it’s close). 

I was most excited about trying their Khao-Soy, a red curry with noodles that is hard to find gluten free (usually the noodles are not gluten free, but they use rice noodles here). It lived up to my expectations, and it was one of the best non-pastry items I ate in Paris on this latest trip. 

I also stopped by for a quick lunch to go and tried their pad thai, which was pretty good (but would have been better if it hadn’t been transported half way across Paris before I ate it, which is my fault). 

They also have a lunchtime menu du jour, which is basically a set menu where you have a couple of options to choose from, but it’s cheap and comes with a papaya salad starter, rice, and an entree. 

Manicaretti

This was one of my favorite discoveries on this latest trip to Paris, and I enjoyed it so much that I returned a second time the day before leaving for one last lunchtime feast. 

On my first visit, I showed up to their small storefront in the 9th Arrondissement a few minutes before they opened for the day and the friendly woman behind the counter took the time to chat with me as she was setting up for the day (mostly in French, some English when I couldn’t understand that a “spoonful” is a real measurement in France). 

Everything is gluten free, and the proprietor explained that she has family members with Celiac Disease and wanted to create a space where they could eat safely. However, they don’t advertise “sans gluten” super widely, which I found interesting. 

The proposition here is kind of similar to Chipotle or other fast-casual restaurants (I should say that the food quality is miles above Chipotle, the comparison is just for illustrative purposes!) where you choose a main, choose some sides, and then choose any add-ons (in this case, you should add on dessert!). 

You can get a sense for what this looks like on their Instagram where they post their seasonal menus. 

As far as mains go, they essentially had a few pasta options (same noodles, gluten free, with your choice of sauces), arancini (fried or baked rice balls with filling), or lasagna, along with some other options. 

The thing I was most astonished by is the fact that there was a line out the door of what seemed to be local Parisians stopping in for lunch (many with their own containers). 

How many of them actually needed to eat gluten free versus being there because the food is a good value, fresh, and made with high quality ingredients? 

Hard to say, but it should speak volumes about how good this place is that Parisians – who are famously picky about gluten free food – show up here in droves for lunch whether it’s gluten free or not.  

One thing to know here: They’re only open for lunch, and once they’re sold out, that’s it. I would say that this should be near the top of your lunch list while you’re in Paris, and I would go here on the day you go up to Montmartre (which should be part of your Paris itinerary!) since it’s nearby. 

La Sajerie

A short walk away from Manicaretti is another great dedicated gluten free restaurant, this time serving Levantine street food (the Levant refers to a region of the eastern Mediterranean near Israel, Syria, and Lebanon). 

La Sajerie was probably my third favorite new discovery on this latest trip, and I stopped by twice (including once for a wrap and some dip for my flight home). 

The main thing that they make here is their Saj wraps. Saj is a Levantine flatbread that is unleavened, and I asked the people behind the counter about the types of flours they use and they were very willing to chat about baking (I recently had a bread making phase at home).

It’s a great on-the-go lunch option, and they have one location in the 9th (with another location coming soon, I believe).  

In terms of what to order, my advice is to order any of the wraps that come with their chili sauce (which is excellent), anything that comes with halloumi (which they melt onto the wrap), and their mutabbal (a smoky eggplant dip). 

The kefta haloumi was my favorite of the three wraps that I had, with the chili halloumi as a close second. 

They have a good lunch deal from 12-3pm that includes a wrap and an accompaniment – either soup, dip, or salad – with an option to add dessert. 

Kapunka

Thai food is one of my go-to cuisines when traveling, but it usually isn’t 100% gluten free (curries generally are though, which is why it’s a gluten free travel staple).

Kapunka is 100% gluten free, which makes their restaurant near bustling Rue Montorgueil in the 2nd a great option for both lunch and dinner. They also have locations in the 14th (near Montparnasse) and in the 17th (near Pont Cardinet). 

They have a range of the usual dishes you would see at a Thai restaurant – pad thai, curries, chicken satay – all cooked in a dedicated gluten free kitchen. 

We’ve had pad thai and curry (multiple times now), and the pad thai was the clear winner.

The portions are big – lots and lots of noodles – and the flavor was great. I also like their papaya salad!

The space is small, so get there early or be prepared to wait.

Café Mareva

If you’re looking for a place to get 100% gluten and dairy free brunch in Paris, this would be our top pick. 

It’s in Montmartre (the 18th Arrondissement) a few blocks away from Sacré-Cœur, and you’ll find a narrow shop serving up pretty fantastic sweet and savory sweet potato waffles (“gauffres” in French) along with a nice selection of gluten free pastries, tea and coffee, juice, and just about anything else you could possibly want from a brunch place. 

Mareva, who is the owner and founder of the small cafe, is an athlete who realized she was lactose intolerant and generally felt better avoiding gluten. 

She quit her 9-5 corporate job to bet it all on Cafe Mareva to give people intolerant to gluten and lactose options that both taste good and fit their dietary preferences. 

We’ve been here several times now, and almost always order a savory waffle – the “Classic Avocado” (with bacon, of course) – though we’ve also had their sweet waffles, which was a waffle topped with a sprinkling of fresh fruit like kiwi and pomegranate seeds. 

They also have a fried chicken waffle, which obviously looks delicious, but we haven’t ordered it (yet). 

We really liked the waffles (though we would’ve liked them to be a bit more crispy), and the classic avocado is what you should order if you’re looking for a savory waffle. 

Tasca & Su Misura

These two dedicated gluten free Italian restaurants are both owned by the same people, and sit a few minutes away from the Eiffel Tower on either side.

Tasca is the original, and has been a staple for gluten free travelers for years, while Su Misura is relatively new. The menu and the food are basically the same (if not identical).

I had been to Tasca before (multiple times), so on this latest trip I decided to head to Su Misura for my first meal in Paris.

It’s a tiny space on a street near the Champ de Mars, and it feels very traditional when you walk in (white table cloths and napkins, family pictures all over, etc etc).

Now, I generally try not to eat anywhere near a major tourist attraction – the Eiffel Tower absolutely qualifies – because the value usually isn’t there (and the food quality is usually worse than elsewhere). 

And, sure enough, this was my most expensive meal in Paris. I had a filled pasta (in a four cheese sauce, which might have been a mistake on my part) and tiramisu for dessert, and the bill came out to nearly €40 for one person. 

It was also my least favorite Italian meal in Paris. Manicaretti and Little Nonna are both excellent (for different reasons), and are much higher on my list of places to return to next time I’m in Paris. 

That’s just one person’s experience – I’ve talked to multiple people (who I trust about food) who really liked the food at Tasca – but I wanted to share my experience so that you know what to expect going in. 

Here’s what I would say: They’re both a great dedicated gluten free option near the Eiffel Tower, which you’ll probably be visiting, but I don’t think I would go out of my way to make a separate trip here. 

Grom Gelato

This isn’t REALLY a restaurant, but it still deserves a spot somewhere on this list. 

Grom is a chain of 100% gluten free gelato shops that started in Italy (it’s a staple on nearly every single one of our gluten free guides for Italian cities) and has spread around the world. 

And the gelato is legitimately really good – in Lisbon, my brother had tried the gelato shop across the street (also an Italian chain) and found Grom to be vastly superior. 

Whenever I see a Grom, it’s gelato time. 

Anyway, everything at Grom is gluten free, including the cones. You can even get a cone dipped in chocolate and coated in hazelnuts! 

The standout flavors that we always gravitate to at Grom are pistachio and hazelnut, and their stracciatella (basically chocolate chip) is also great. 

In Paris, Grom has a few locations, including one in St. Germain (6th arr.) and one along Rue Montorgueil in the 2nd arr.

La Guinguette d’Angèle

La Guinguette d’Angèle is a lunch-only restaurant in Paris, with a couple of locations to choose from in the 1st arr (near the Louvre), the 6th arr (inside the La Grande Épicerie de Paris), and the 14th arr (near Montparnasse). 

Their menu rotates, featuring a dish of the day, a lunchbox option, and a cold soup. It’s takeaway only, so you’ll have to grab it to go and find a place to relax and enjoy the vegetarian goodness.

We stopped by and grabbed a delicious vegetable curry with rice. It’s a good option if you find yourself near the Louvre in need of a quick and easy (vegetarian) lunch. 

The one in the 1st (near the Louvre) and the location in the 14th are weekdays only. 

Riz Riz

If we’re being completely honest here (and we are), the food at Riz Riz – which spans a variety of cuisines and the thing that ties it all together is that it’s gluten free and vegan – just wasn’t great. 

Maybe it’s what I ordered, maybe it was an off day (which is why we generally like to visit twice, but didn’t here). 

It’s a good option if you’re both gluten free and vegan, but if you’re not, I don’t see why you would spend one of your precious meals in Paris here. 

As a main, I had the red curry and it was just sort of bland and disappointing.  

Dedicated Gluten Free Bakeries in Paris

Let’s be honest for a second. We’re talking about Paris here, which means you’re likely hoping for some good pastries and baked goods.

We have good news! You have a few great options in terms of dedicated gluten free bakeries, including two of our favorite gluten free bakeries in Europe (one of which specializes in bread, the other in pastries). 

Chambelland (Best Breads)

Listen, there’s exactly one thing you need to know about Chambelland that should tell you everything you need to know. 

On my (Matt here!) latest trip, I was solo in Paris for eight days, and when I asked Alysha what she wanted me to bring back for her, she immediately answered “the chocolate orange pain du sucre from Chambelland.” 

Chambelland rivals our hometown hero, New Cascadia (in Portland), as the best gluten free breads we’ve ever had. 

However, I’d also say that Chambelland isn’t a one trick pony, and their pastries are also pretty good. 

The biggest problem with Chambelland is that it’s a little bit out of the way compared to the other bakeries in Paris, but well worth the journey.

They now have two locations in Paris, one that’s further east in the 11th Arrondissement (the Oberkampf neighborhood) and one on the western side of central Paris in the 17th Arrondissement. . 

You’ll find a variety of breads and sweet treats like tartelettes, cheesecake, etc. All 100% gluten free and delicious. 

And, depending on when you show up, you’re likely to find a line. We’ve been there early on a weekday and were able to waltz right in, but that might not be the case at midday on a weekend. 

Either way, it’s absolutely worth the wait, we promise.

On our first visit, we basically got up to the counter and froze like a deer in the headlights. There were so many options! 

And 9am isn’t exactly the right time of day for an eclair or tart. So we grabbed a couple of things to enjoy right then, and then went back for seconds to get to take back to our apartment. 

Since then, I have been to Chambelland more than five times across multiple trips, and I still have a similar sensation when I get to the counter and see all of the options. 

In order of preference, here are the things we tried. 

• Pains de sucre: These are like a cross between brioche and a baguette, but sweet. We tried both the chocolate orange (“bis”) and the Malibu (pineapple coconut) and the chocolate orange was the favorite between the two. It’s crusty and crispy on the outside, and light and fluffy on the inside. 
  
  
• Le pain du village: Their flagship bread, this is some of the best gluten free bread we’ve ever had. It’s made with a mix of rice and buckwheat flours, and it’s light and airy in the middle with a dense crusty exterior, which gives you that great texture contrast when you bite into it. 
  
  
• Rocher: These are like little cake balls, for lack of a better description. They’re a little bite of sweet goodness, and the one we got was filled with coconut, banana, and chocolate chips (YUM). 
  
  
• Tarte de poire: We also grabbed a pear tart for later, and while it was good, it wasn’t the highlight for us (which, to be fair, might be because we had it sitting out for the rest of the day before we got to it). 

Don’t miss the breads – grab some for later, pick up some cheese to go with it, and take it with you to picnic along the Seine or under the Eiffel Tower on a warm summer night.  

La Manufacture Sans Gluten (Best Pastries)

The relatively new kid on the block in terms of gluten free patisseries in Paris, La Manufacture Sans Gluten is also my favorite of the bunch for pastries (I like Chambelland for the breads). 

They are set up on a charming street in Montmartre, and there is barely enough room inside to even turn around, let alone eat there (take them to the park nearby – here on Google Maps – to enjoy them instead). 

First thing’s first – the prices. You’re going to walk in, see the prices, and your eyes are going to nearly pop out of your head because their pastries cost 8-9 Euros a piece. 

You’re not even there to see the prices yourself and I can already feel the rage radiating off of you! I’ve seen comments about this place to the effect of “what a disgrace to turn a dietary requirement into a money-making venture!”

Here’s the thing though. If you know how to make a croissant, gluten free or not, you know that there is a TON of work that goes into it. And even more so to make a passable croissant that is also gluten free. 

These are the best gluten free croissants and pain au chocolat I’ve ever personally had, bar none.

And I don’t think it’s particularly close, especially if you get them in the morning when they’re fresh out of the oven. 

Trust me, I’ve eaten a lot of gluten free pastries all over the world (it’s basically my job) and I can only think of a couple that even come close. 

The other gluten free pastries I’ve found around Paris range from okay to downright disappointing (we’ll get to those!), and I would absolutely recommend skipping one or two of those and saving your gluten free pastry budget to splurge here. It’s worth it, and it will change your life.

Copains (Decent All Around)

Copains is another relative newcomer in the Parisian gluten free scene, and when I was last in Paris before my most recent trip, they had one (maybe two) locations in Paris. 

Fast forward a couple of years and it seems like they now have a shop in every arrondissement in the city. Their expansion is pretty wild. 

One important note to begin here: They use oats in almost all of their products (“avoine” en francais). I hate that this has become such a big trend, and the staff were helpful in pointing out what products contain oats (plus the ingredients are listed below each product). 

Shopping here is quite the experience. You essentially walk in and are immediately surrounded by pastries, breads, and sandwiches on all sides.

I knew what I was getting into on this last trip, and decided that I would limit myself to three things, which turned out to be a croissant, a pain au chocolat (gotta try them all to compare them!), and a chocolate hazelnut roll (like a cinnamon roll, but different flavors). 

To be honest, I was fairly lukewarm on their pastries.

It’s worth noting that I have eaten gluten free pastries around the world (again, it’s basically my job), seeking out all of the dedicated gluten free bakeries in all of the places I travel to share them here on this site. 

The pastries – especially the croissant and pain au chocolat, which are supposed to be light and flaky – were dense and bready. 

One of my big pet peeves is when bakeries sell gluten free doughnuts that are basically just cupcakes in a different shape (versus fried doughnuts), and that’s what this felt like (a croissant with the texture of a brioche cinnamon roll). 

Not terrible, obviously – brioche is delicious – but also not the best croissant I’ve ever had (not even the best in Paris). 

For what it’s worth, I did really enjoy the eclair I had on my first visit, which I devoured in a couple of bites while sitting on a bench in the sun – aka a perfect moment in Paris. 

The fact that they have many, many locations does mean that you’re often close to one of their shops, and they are a good grab-and-go option (especially their sandwiches). 

Noglu (Decent Pastries)

My first visit to Noglu in Paris eight (ish) years ago was a formative travel experience for me. It was one of the first moments when I realized that it’s possible to find great gluten free food in most cities around the world, especially cities as big and diverse as Paris. 

This time, I was coming in with a preconceived notion about Noglu that came from my experience with their location in New York City. 

It was essentially that Noglu is fine, but there are better options out there these days. At the time they came onto the scene, it was amazing.

Now that there are a plethora of other gluten free bakeries around the world, they’re somewhere in the middle of the pack.

And, to some extent, that feeling has held true over the last several trips to Noglu across multiple trips to multiple locations in Paris. They’re pretty good, they’re relatively expensive, and they’re easy to find. 

They have a couple of locations in Paris, including the two I’ve been to – one in St. Germain (the 6th arr.) and one in Oberkampf (the 11th arr). Chances are, the one in St. Germain is going to be the more convenient option for you, since it’s relatively close to the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and the Seine. 

They have a range of baked goods, which include pain au chocolat and croissants. 

On a recent trip, we got an array of baked goods to go (“à emporter” – “ah omm-port-ay”) after realizing that you pay a hefty premium to eat them inside the restaurant. 

We tried their mini-baguettes (the cheese/chorizo is our pick), their croissants and pain au chocolat (both were surprisingly good), and an American-style donut that blew our expectations out of the water.

They also have a range of tartlets that, in my mind, are quintessentially Paris.

The number of times I have strolled by the window of a pâtisserie in Paris to admire the beautiful tartlets in the window is high, and normally I don’t get to actually eat them. Not so at Noglu! 

We tried a seasonal fig tart and their traditional chocolate tart, and the crust on both was perfect – not too crumbly, which is usually the issue with gluten free tarts.

The chocolate was our favorite, with a rich chocolate ganache (or something similar) as the filling.  

In short, Noglu has upped their game from the last time I tried their baked goods, and they should definitely be on your hit list of gluten free bakeries in Paris.

However, they probably won’t be the best you have, and we think that’s okay!

Maison Plume (Gluten Free + Sugar Free Pastries)

Maison Plume is a gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free pastry shop in Le Marais. The pastries are beautiful, though they are expensive. 

We opted for a pistachio plume, which is kind of like a Twinkie (but way better, to be super clear) in that it’s an oblong shape with a cakey base that is filled with creme.

The filling was a surprise – neither of us realized it was filled until biting into it. 

In addition to being good for people with Celiac Disease and other gluten intolerances, the pastries have a low glycemic index, which is important for the founder’s relatives who have diabetes (which is part of the reason that she started the shop). 

You can definitely taste the lack of sugar, particularly in the cake-y part of the pastries, but the filling is plenty sweet. They do use Stevia for sweetness, which, if you’re sensitive to it, might be a turnoff for you. 

Where to Find Gluten Free Groceries in Paris

There are a handful of main grocery store chains in Paris, and all of them have a variety of gluten free options.

Most even have a separate aisle, so you don’t have to worry about digging through the gluten-filled bread to find the single gluten free bread option.

The best part? The price gap between gluten free and regular products is a lot smaller than it is here in the US. No $10 loaves of tiny gluten free bread in Paris!

Here are a few grocery store chains to grab gluten free food. All three have a variety of options, from breads to cookies and other treats. If you’re lucky, you’ll even find some store brand options that are even cheaper.

Look for the words “sans gluten.”

In general, nearly every single grocery store we visited had a dedicated section for gluten free products. In some cases, finding it was all part of the adventure. 

But the point is that if you prefer to cook for yourself while you’re in Paris, you’re going to have plenty of options in just about every grocery store you walk into. 

Plus, in the European Union, gluten can’t hide behind things like “natural flavors” like it can in the US. Any allergen must be called out in the ingredient statement AND bolded, which makes navigating them easier. Look for “gluten”, “blé” (wheat) , “orge” (barley), or “seigle” (rye). 

Here’s a link to the Celiac Association in France. Some great information on that site about traveling with Celiac Disease in France, but it is in French (thanks Google Translate!).

When shopping, look for “sans gluten” which means gluten free in French. 

Small High End Grocery Stores:

• Causses
• Naturalia
• Biocoop 

Bigger Grocery Stores with Gluten Free Options

• Carrefour (especially their bigger “market” locations)
• Monoprix
• Intermarché
• La Grande Epicerie de Paris (the best for foodies!)

Gluten Free Paris, Mapped

As promised, here is a map of all of the restaurants and bakeries listed in this guide so you can visualize where everything is.
