In this post, we are continuing our look at eating gluten-free in Paris, France. For your reference, you can view the first post in this series here.
We are commencing with a small restaurant called Leo le Lion, at 23, Rue Duvivier, 75007 Paris. Leo le Lion offers simple and inexpensive food with a good choice of daily specials, including a number of gluten-free dishes.
Then take a visit to Willis Wine Bar, at 13, Rue des Petits Champs, 75001 Paris. At this restaurant you will find that the staff nearly all speak English. It opened in October 1980 and this quite revolutionary establishment, has quickly become a part of the Parisian life. With its elegant 1930′s facade, a long polished Oak Bar, displaying over 250 different wines. Then the restaurant offers some fine cuisine, supervised by Chef Francois Von, all served under its high Oak beamed ceilings, a wonderful atmosphere. You can have impromptu meals at the bar, or eat in the elegant restaurant, both offering a gluten-free selection.
La Bambou Vietnamese Restaurant, at 70, Rue Baudricourt, 75013 Paris, Tel 01 45 70 91 75, is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Paris (if not in Europe). It offers a really great selection of Vietnamese dishes, with gluten-free being catered for. But because the restaurant is so good, it is very popular and is often packed, so be prepared you may have to queue a while, to get seated, it will help if you speak Vietnamese or French!
Le Petit Troquet Resturant, 28, Rue Exposition, 75007 Paris, offers an exceptional quality of A la Carte food, but it is still reasonably priced, with a number of gluten-free dishes.
La Tour d’Argent Restaurant, 15, Quai Tornelle, 75005 Paris. This is an expensive restaurant, but it offers a great view over Notre Dame and the River Seine, lunch without wine, will cost you around 65+ Euros. When you make your reservation try to get a window seat, it is well worth the effort. The restaurant has an extensive menu, with a number of gluten-free items to chose from.
Le Petit Pontoise, 9 Rue Pontoise, 75005 Paris. This is an excellent Bistro, its worth waiting, to get a seat outside, it has a good menu, with a selection of gluten free dishes.
So there you have a sample of Paris restaurants, some expensive, others more reasonably priced, but all serving really great food. Don’t let language problems spoil your visit Paris!

Oh Don…you are taking me back to some of the best gluten-free meals we’ve ever had in Paris! I don’t think we went to any places you listed, but when we were there just after my celiac dx a few years back, it was MUCH easier to eat out safely in Paris than here at home. Now it’s ten times better here and I hear from others living in Paris that change is slow in coming there for the gluten-free set.
Thanks for writing this up. I’m traveling to Paris and have had a hard time finding information as useful as this. You offer many choices.
Hi there
This information is useful as I’m currently researching a trip to Paris with my son but I see it dates back to early 2010. Is there any more up-to-date info for 2011.
Thanks in advance
Alison
Thank you for this info, I will add this to my travel tips! Paris is an intimidating place to imagine eating gluten free but I’m more hopeful now!
We have had several guests stay with us and then head to Paris this year. We recommend Willi’s and Petit Pontoise – restaurants we have known and eaten in for years, whether coeliac or not, you will be well looked after and dining is excellent. We’re always looking for up to date experiences for our guests also as they continue their french holidays, so please let us know
