Looking for the best gluten free restaurants in Paris? Our guide has you covered with the best spots for gluten-free brunch, lunch and dinner.
If you’re Celiac or have gluten intolerances then eating out when traveling in France can be very tricky. Fortunately Paris has plenty of options for those who can’t eat gluten. From Croissants to Pizzas, there’s a lot of great choices.
If you’re looking at a restaurant that isn’t specialised in gluten-free cooking but has GF options, then be warned that there’s a high chance of cross contamination. The majority of restaurants & bars in the city have very small kitchens. This means they won’t have separate fryers or griddles for GF orders and the cooks most likely won’t know about the dangers of cross contamination from gluten.
Gluten Free Restaurants in Paris
The following restaurants advertise themselves 100% gluten free with no exceptions on the menu. Restaurants are in no particular order!
Kapunka
Kapunka is a fantastic small Thai canteen-style restaurant with an entirely gluten-free menu. Located on a small side-street from rue Montorgueil in the capital’s 2nd arrondissement, it’s incredibly central and there are plenty of great bars to explore nearby.
You’ll find all the classics on the menu; Pad Thai with different protein options, green & red curries, satay chicken and tom yam soup. Their mixed (chicken and prawn) pad thai is superb and their green curry carries a decent amount of heat. It is on the smaller side so you want to eat in I’d recommend reserving in advance.

Little Nonna
To the west of the city, in the 17th arrondissement you’ll find Little Nonna. A large Italian restaurant with 100% gluten free menu including all the classics – pizza, pasta and plenty of GF desserts.
The restaurant is large and, unlike a lot of restaurants in Paris, you can reserve for large groups (10+). The cooking is solid and there’s genuine effort put into the dishes unlike many simple Italian restaurants in the city. During my last visit I had their gnocchi with wild chanterelle mushrooms and crispy parma ham – the gnocchi was well made with GF flour. They also have a great lunch menu with 3 courses for €26. Oh for beer lovers, they’ve got GF lager on tap.

Tasca
If you’re near the Eiffel Tower and looking for a GF restaurant then Tasca is a great option. Completely gluten free and organic, Tasca offers home made Italian food in a relaxed dining space.
The food is very classic Italian offering pizza (with the GF dough being made in-house), risotto and pasta. There’s no surprises with the menu but it’s solid although a little on the pricier side which is to be expected given the location). Another bonus is that they’re open all week and serve food non-stop from midday to 11pm.
