Top 27 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Lyon

In one word, amazing!!! We walked for 25 minutes to get to this Gluten free café and it was well worth the pilgrimage. We had lunch there. My partner enjoyed her beautiful vegetable sandwich with cheese and I had a delicious quiche. The pastries were exquisite. If you are gluten free this is a must see, must taste destination :)

Everything is very good and gluten free

Had high hopes after reading the reviews, but unfortunately the food didn’t quite live up to the hype. We had to queue for a while with little communication from the staff, who seemed more focused on clearing tables than managing the line. Things did improve once we were seated, and service picked up. I went for the gluten-free pancakes, which were disappointingly dry—possibly just a bad choice on my part, as the regular ones looked better. The granola, however, was incredibly sweet—too much so for any of us to finish. Worth noting: you can’t order just one dish. The set menu requires you to pick both a savoury and a sweet pancake (amongst other things!), so make sure you arrive hungry!

A gorgeous little cozy cafe that’s a must try if you’re in Lyon! Plenty of gluten free options savoury and sweet - including pancakes which are a highlight! The coffee and other flavoured lattes are amazing too! The staff are always friendly and smiling!

Very nice coffee! Good food, nice presentation, vege-vegan! Gluten-free options. Drinks available in vegetable milk at no extra cost! Welcoming, helpful and efficient team. You can stay on site to work, read, knit or other outside peak hours. The team will kindly notify you before these hours if you need to vacate the place. Cozy, clean, parents friendly (large changing table in the toilets). Ethical and organic products, zero waste approach firmly in place: real plates and cutlery, cloth napkins, food to take away in returnable boxes, compost… I will come back with pleasure each time I visit Lyon

Delicious French crepes with many gluten free options. The Cider is also delicious!

Lovely Gluten free Galettes. They were a bit colder than I expected but really tasty

I've been coming to the place for years, and I never get tired of it. The dishes change frequently and the cuisine is original, often with vegan AND gluten-free adaptations. One of the few places where I order from starter to dessert with drinks. The compositions are sometimes enhanced with a remarkable salty or sweet granola, and the menu offers fresh juices and colorful chai. I also keep in mind their generous banana bread with chocolate chips :P Flawless, well done to the team, and thank you for their welcome!

Super friendly and attentive service! Very tasty food. There is a cheaper lunch menu and also gluten-free options. We recommend:))

Bleuette

Excellent place for brunch, it was my sister who introduced me to it and who had already known about it for a while. Thank you for the lactose-free and gluten-free options, we find so few of them in restaurants and yet it is so much more digestible for many people (cow's milk in hot chocolate, I unfortunately can't stand it and I deprive myself of hot drinks at brunches because of that). 😍 The team is very friendly and smiling, I felt at home there. Many thanks for the attention you pay to your customers. 🥰 I will come back with pleasure!

We had a very good experience at this place. We are both gluten-free and appreciated that several items were marked gluten-free. We both enjoyed our meals with no problems.

I give two stars out of kindness but in reality I couldn't review. The menu indicates gluten-free options but I couldn't find them twice. In particular, the pancakes for breakfast, expressly indicated, are not available even on weekends. Remove it from the menu so that those who cannot eat gluten avoid wasting time. Thank you

Crêperie with warm decor, adorable waiter who waited for us to serve us at the end of our concert. Celiac spouse and buckwheat pancakes are GLUTEN FREE! Truly traceless! We will return there with our eyes closed!

Steffi Hidber

A wonderful, elegant dinner with family and friends. I felt very safe in the hands of the Epona team, as I have celiac's disease and have to eat gluten-free. Highly recommend!

Frauke Schiller

I have celiac disease and discovered this cafe by chance during my visit to Lyon. I ate the very tasty sandwiches there twice. The gluten-free rolls were really tasty and cost an extra €1. There is no guarantee of freedom from contamination because there is no separate gluten-free work area, but on both occasions the various servers were knowledgeable about celiac disease and did their best in the preparation (changing gloves, using clean utensils, etc.) I didn't have any problems after any of the visits.

Ayla COUTY

Very good place to have drinks on the terrace! The savory waffles are also excellent! The service was perfect: waiter attentive and responsive according to everyone's needs (a friend being allergic to lactose and gluten, he was able to adapt!) 👌

Charlotte Pirra

We discovered this place with my vegetarian best friend and I, who is intolerant of everything, and it's clearly a gem! Best chai of my life, tasty and super original dishes! (I'm a quinoa convert) and a gluten-free vegan brownie to die for! Thank you for this great moment!

Amélie Elmaleh

Where to start ? The brunch is simply delicious: fresh and varied products, plentiful, very good value for money, possible alternatives to gluten and lactose for those unfortunate enough to be allergic or intolerant. In addition, the staff is adorable and accommodating: despite the crowds, the girls take the time to explain to you patiently - and with a smile! - what's in each dish, without omitting any ingredient. They were keen to find me substitutes for the products to which I was not entitled - and the list is long - and finally concocted a salad just for me, excellent by the way. We have rarely seen such friendly staff in a place that is probably already renowned, whose prices remain very honest while the quality is there. I absolutely recommend!

Thank you for the warm welcome and the Vegan and gluten-free option! It was fantastic!

Brenda Anderson

I seldom to leave poor reviews but need to correct the impression that this restaurant is celiac friendly. I made a reservation indicating the issue yet the waitress was unprepared and unprofessional. A single item was suggested, a salad. I daringly selected the other green salad without dressing, it was smaller and less cheese centered, it arrived with croutons. Either she didn't bother to communicate to the kitchen or the person preparing the salad didn't care. This restaurant has a large menu, there are other items that could easily be prepared (slabs of meat? Potatoes?) GF but no effort was made to accommodate. The building has seen better days, it was modernized within recent years but things have not been kept repaired. Both men's and women's toilets reflected poor maintenance (missing door latches, urinals gone leaving only holes in the wall). Disappointing

We just ate here tonight and had the best experience. Having been in France for about 2 weeks and experiencing many misses in terms of service and/or food in both Lyon and Paris, this was a refreshing change of pace. Service was timely, and every single thing we ordered (essentially the whole menu multiple times over) was incredibly delicious. Our server/part owner was also very personable and knowledgeable about vegan and gluten free options, and was able to explain the menu to us. We were shocked to learn that this restaurant has been open for about 1 week?! Honestly, the food, drinks, and atmosphere were better than many Michelin Star restaurants we’ve been to in the states. Highlights from the menu were the ceviche, the truffle pasta, and the pineapple dessert, although no matter what you try, you will not be disappointed. So happy we got to experience this on our last night in Lyon, and we will definitely be back in the future for more.

Very good brunch, the presentation is perfect. Good value for money. It’s a shame that on Sunday we can’t have anything other than brunch. The staff adapted for one person in the group who is gluten intolerant, that’s nice

Eva Clemente

I ordered the beef tartare, and it was spectacular. It also comes with homemade fries. The quality of the food compared to the price is very good. As a person who cannot eat gluten, I recommend it, they adapt several dishes without a problem.

I love this place! It’s friendly and the food is very good! The possibility of eating gluten-free on site is a real bonus for me (allergy) even if I find the choice more and more limited and that's a shame 😉. I go back there regularly with pleasure! I love the concept and the cuisine that is offered. The place is pretty, the terrace very pleasant and the staff very friendly. See you soon (with, I hope, even more gluten-free choices 😁)!

Great place to have a drink or eat with friends! The concept of good court makes it possible to meet everyone's desires without problem. Special mention for the Afghan cuisine stand which allows people with gluten intolerance to eat excellent starters and main courses!
