Top 7 Gluten-Free Spots to Discover in Bellecour - Hôtel Dieu, Lyon

Gwladys Martin

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

Took myself down to Materr for dinner my last evening in Lyon. And it was one of my favourite moments. The owner is lovely - she accommodated my gluten free needs and was wonderful to chat to! The dish I had was delicious. I sat outside and the ambience was beautifully peaceful. Would definitely recommend a visit!

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!

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.

Valentine's Day evening, pleasant welcome, attentive and competent sommelier, order taking a little long. Surprising choice on part of the menu or its entirety. Excellent combination of shallot and oyster sorbet contrasting with neutral kale and a very iodized jelly. A fillet of beef chosen medium-rare (for me overcooked) but offered rare accompanied by vegetables (the same associated with the cod chosen by my wife) and excellent pears pass crassane. A ridiculous plate of 5 tiny cheeses for 10 euros, a pavlova with a hard and no finesse meringue. Note that the cook was able to adapt to my gluten-free and lactose-free request. A value for money which, for this evening, does not live up to the average 4.8 Google reviews.

Right from the get-go, two men looked after us. Explaining the menu and Ares were very welcoming and seated us. My partner is sans gluten and we were provided both sans gluten and with gluten appetisers. Both delicious. Highly recommend, for the experience, the food was very fresh. I got a salad with vinegar rice and my partner got salmon salad. Coffee had a beautiful crema. Lovely spot in central Lyon with building old buildings around.
