Gluten-free Paris

Eating gluten free here: Good, with care

Paris is a bread city, which sounds like bad news. It isn't. It has more fully gluten-free bakeries and restaurants than almost anywhere, so you can have a croissant at breakfast, pasta at lunch and Thai at dinner without asking a single nervous question. The trick is to stick to those places: most ordinary Paris kitchens still don't take cross-contamination seriously.

What to ask
Je suis cœliaque. Je ne peux pas manger de gluten, même en traces. Est-ce que ce plat est préparé sans contact avec le gluten ?

I have coeliac disease. I can't eat gluten, not even traces. Is this dish made without touching gluten?

Before you go

Sans gluten doesn't mean safe.

On a French menu, sans gluten often just means no gluten ingredients. It says nothing about shared pans, flour in the air or the bread basket. For coeliacs, the 100% gluten-free places are the safe bet.

Restaurants must tell you about gluten.

EU law makes every restaurant tell you if a dish contains any of 14 allergens, cereals with gluten among them. Ask for the allergen list, la liste des allergènes.

Look for the AFDIAG logo in shops.

The crossed-ear logo from AFDIAG, the French coeliac association, means under 20ppm. Every Monoprix, Carrefour and Franprix has a sans gluten shelf.

Go early, and check the hours.

Gluten-free bakeries open later and close earlier than ordinary ones, and the croissants sell out. Many restaurants here also close between lunch and dinner.

How Chef checks: every place here says it on its own site, or a coeliac writer who ate there does, and we link which. We checked on October 29, 2026. Kitchens change, staff change: if it's coeliac disease, say so every time. Photos marked "a photo like it" aren't of that place. No place paid to be here.

Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
