They have gluten free galettes, but they cook them in the same place as everything else, so the cross contamination is guaranteed.
It annoys me because I had dinner here the other day and I specifically said I am a celiac and I showed them a gluten-free card in French. Today I asked again just to confirm, as of course, I don't expect them to remember me.
In my experience, there can be a lack of understanding about cross-contamination in France, and this was disappointing.
However, this could be an opportunity to improve and learn, so I'll explain: Cross-contamination happens when gluten-free food is prepared on shared surfaces, with shared utensils, or fryers. For those with celiac disease, even a small amount of gluten can cause serious health issues. It’s essential to use separate, clean equipment. If this is not possible, it’s understandable, but please don’t label something as 'gluten-free' if it's not truly safe.

They offer gluten-free patties, but they are cooked in the same place as the other dishes, so cross-contamination is inevitable.
