Although the famous bistro scene in Paris has won legions of fans among gourmands all over the world, it was arguably a little slower than some cities in embracing the delights of gluten-free cuisine. However, in recent years it has more than made up for that, and today the City of Light is home to a thriving gluten-free dining scene. And one which even extends to entire eateries - such as NOGLU and GluFree - that cater only to this form of dining. Whatever your plans - be they gluten-free ‘food to go’ or a sit-down meal with your loved ones, there’s a dining experience to suit you in Paris. Read on for some of the gluten-free restaurants in Paris, France, offering gluten-free dishes.
1. NOGLU

Whether you have a sweet tooth or enjoy more savory delights, you’re well catered for at NOGLU, which serves a wide array of gluten-free dishes. And its mix of functions as a bakery, restaurant, and store for gluten-free groceries has certainly chimed with the public. Despite only opening its first restaurant in 2012, NOGLU’s popularity sparked the arrival of the second outlet in Paris and - more remarkably - a satellite branch all the way across the Atlantic in New York. The owners have even published a successful recipe book - Good Without Gluten. The main restaurant’s dishes are all produced from organic products and feature a range of main dishes - such as its classic gluten-free burgers - and seasonal offerings.

10. Hank Burger
This eatery is a big success story, having expanded to two further sites - another in Paris and one in the city of Lyon. What they all have in common is their desire to supply tasty vegan meat-free burger dishes. And, those options also include a number of gluten-free dishes. The resulting menu has won many fans in Paris and beyond, with thousands of delighted diners rating it highly and praising the “amazing” and “delicious” meals. The main restaurant’s position north of the river also places it within easy reach of the likes of the Picasso National Museum - and its 5000 separate works. However, those who are extremely sensitive to gluten should bear in mind that while this eatery serves a range of dishes, it cannot guarantee that there will not be small traces of gluten in them.
