It’s highly recommendable. To quench your thirst, the gluten-free restaurants in Paris also offers its guests a 100% organic wine menu. 

In addition to RizRiz being an fairytale for those who dream of glutenfree and vegan dishes, the restaurant also supports a human fairytale as more than a third of their employees are transients and the like, whom RizRiz trains and helps to integrate into the French society through work.

We also had some cold-pressed juices. For lunch you might love to one of their four salad bowls, a  fresh juice or some matcha Latté. You are also able to get vegan options in the bowls. Super fresh and tasty. (NB book a table, as there is not much space to dine-in). Recommend you to grab it for take away on the sunny day in Paris.

Brunch'ing all day at LouLou

Who is up for brunch? Count us in. At LouLou they serve brunch all day. Omg this was sooo good, and and in my opinion one of the best gluten free restaurants in Paris we ate at. The concept of LouLou btw is to bring Australis to Paris! The result is that the music is super vibrant and the staff super friendly. It felt like we were a friend of the house. Maybe you are up for egg Benedicts or an avocado toast? Both? You can have it glutenfree for sure. You also find salads, “Bali bowls”, fish and chips and club sandwiches on their menu. And the products are 100% organic too. I also have to mention the aesthetics of LouLou – it’s super cute place with a lovely color combination inside as well as  outside. Their gluten free pastries are also sooo delicious. They are famous for their cake Madeliene, but remember to try their banana bread, carrot cake or cinnamon bun – maybe as a take out for later, or the next day? Why not. Go grab it! 

Adress: 90 BD Saint-Germain 75005 Paris
