Sweet or savory gluten-free pancakes, everything is very good! Quality cider. Good service and impeccable location.

Ellen Pickett

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!

It was a delight, we had a blast!! We were looking for a restaurant offering gluten-free lunch and we came across a rare gem.

Cécile B

At the top. Very good food, a cocoon atmosphere. Pleasant, quality service full of positive energy! A plus: my gluten-intolerant colleague eats there with her eyes closed! Free nearby parking between noon and 2. No reason not to go there!

Angela Malagoli

The place is nice and I would go back, but I was shocked by the fact that together with a crossed-out menu (gluten free) they brought me normal bread and therefore gluten-free. However, I must say that in general, being used to Italy, I found that in this area of ​​France there is not much knowledge and sensitivity to the problem.

Alyssa Anguiano

Lots of gluten free options, especially delicious desserts

Giusy stella

Excellent food, service and location!! The tartflette and creme brulé are very good. Also gluten-free dishes.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing restaurant in Val d’isere. While many restaurants in the area don’t offer gluten free options Bar Jacques is known for them in particular their gluten free pizzas! The highlight of the night for me was the goat cheese, walnut, and honey pizza, which was simply to die for. What impressed me equally was the staff’s friendliness and accommodation. They were attentive to my dietary needs and went above and beyond to ensure a delightful dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving delicious gluten-free pizzas with impeccable service. Be sure to make reservations!

Melanie Bosco

gluten free options but really mediocre food. nice interior and service!

David Ruiz Rodriguez

To eat gluten-free Galettes, but far from the best quality The waiters are pleasant and make every effort to make you comfortable.

mathilde magnien

Quality service, a warm setting and delicious dishes. It was absolutely perfect. The wine list is remarkable. Well done and thank you again for everything! Special mention to the pastry chef who made incredible gluten-free bread!

Amelia Lees

Lovely place. Cocktails and a variety of food. They had galettes which are gluten free, and were accommodating and friendly. If you're going in the evening or want to sit inside, I recommend you book.

Hermine H.

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

Stéphane SALGADO

Odile ANGIARI

Vege, vegan, gluten-free or flexi you will find what you are looking for! THANKS

G. C.

Gluten free pancakes and crepes. Awesome ! Thanks a million. (Very reasonable prices too).

Louise FAGOT

Exceptional cuisine, cooks and a boss who know the culture and particularities of Italian cuisine 🇮🇹Varied choices, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc... Very fast service! No reservations for less than 6 people Only downside: the fairly high noise inside...

Liz Stephens

By far our favourite place to eat, either as a couple or as a family. Fantastic food including gluten-free options and friendly service. The children's menu has disappeared but they do child portions if you ask.

Ariane Feurer

Everything “seasoned” with a lot of love... Gluten-free galettes sweet and salty!

daniela cozzi

I have celiac disease, so it's not always easy to find restaurants where you can eat peacefully. The girl was very kind and super helpful in trying to give me a gluten-free and safe proposal, which was absolutely not a given! They brought me a good grilled fish with a salad, adapting the menu to my restrictions. Absolutely recommended.

juju MARO

GREAT We recommend this great little restaurant, a very welcoming couple who take great care of our daughter who is gluten-free. thank you for your kindness See you soon 😁😁

Recently went for a team dinner. Big beautiful well-done space , ambience was classy and relaxed. They have a good menu that changes often and there are wine pairings with each dish. Loved that. They had fresh gluten free bread, risotto and even modified their dessert to suit my allergy issues. All other dishes had gluten, as their sauces contain flour. Would be great to try these if they replace with maizena or alternative flours. My colleagues liked the other dishes like chapon and the chartreuse dessert Would recommend.

GREGORY PAILHES

What a lovely discovery and yet so close to home (Aubenas). Very very friendly welcome, and in addition the staff is very attentive to special requests, in particular for us, concerning a person suffering from celiac disease (gluten strictly prohibited), there was even suitable bread. The entire meal from starter to dessert was delicious, all on a small bucolic village terrace. Highly recommended, if you want to have a great time. We will return with undisguised pleasure.

Sharon Johnston

We didn't have a booking and were lucky to get a table. We passed other restaurants who were almost empty so hoped that meant this one was good. It was. I had a delicious steak with mash and a coconut dessert that was lovely, all gluten-free which is what I need. The server was very experienced and a funny guy, all in all my friends and i really enjoyed our meal here.

Bernard Castellino

Very good pancakes I don't eat gluten it was very good for me I was able to eat dirty and sweet with excellent buckwheat pancakes if we go back to Murat we will stop we were a group of 8 no waiting very good good of course we had booked a little before which is the least we can do especially in peak season

Tatiany PARRA FONTALVO

Excellent service. The staff is very friendly and flexible in preparing gluten and lactose free dishes. I was delighted. Well done boss

Craig Buzzard

Great bar with gluten free Mont Blanc brasserie options on tap.

Steven van

Nothing to say, perfect! Also gluten free have been modified perfect.

Karina Hugentobler

We stayed in the hotel Savel in August 2022 and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience there. The hotel is truly exceptional. The garden area was lovely and we can recommend the dinner served in the garden area wholeheartedly. The owner of the hotel was super friendly and helpful with suggestions to explore the surroundings. I am a celiac and she prepared glutenfree pancakes for me for breakfast. There are also plenty of parking lots available on site to guarantee safe parking. It was honestly our favorite hotel of our trip.

Claire Olivia

Best meal we had in Chamonix! Fantastic service and the staff were great with our gluten and nut allergies. Great value and delicious food. Well worth the trip to Servos

Blanche Menendez

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!

Sonia Giga

The food was amazing, best dinner we had in Lyon. The staff were lovely and attentive and gluten-free friendly. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Lyon, just make sure you make a reservation because they get extremely busy very quickly.

Arnaud Hauteroche

After a profession of faith at the basilica, we were looking for something to eat a little late and without reservations, luckily! A table on the terrace in glorious weather. It started well! What followed never diminished our joy, we were welcomed very warmly, gluten-free for my wife, very accessible menu for the children, and our menu at just over 30 euros satisfied us. Quality products, homemade, you can feel it straight away, all the seasonings were just right, the cooking was mastered, the cuisine is certainly traditional but so tasty... From the starter to the dessert, we didn't shy away from our pleasure! 83 euros for 3 including a children's menu, with drinks, with this setting... It's very honest! To recommend without hesitation.

Fabrice Rivero

This is a very nice restaurant, in Thonon, with very friendly staff and above all a chef who is very involved and close to his customers. We ate twice, in 4 days, the quality of the plates, with a visual, taste and quality of the products, great. It's very very good. Thank you to the chef, for being available and who adapted to the request to offer and prepare a gluten-free meal for my wife. We will return. Thank you to the entire team of this beautiful restaurant. 😉👌

Karen Boothroyd

Food was excellent and the place is really lovely. I would advise booking as it was busy. Gluten free options were good and the gf chips and lemon desert were both really good. Non gf options were very good also, the French onion soup was delicious apparently and steak and steak sauces were also good. We would definitely recommend.

Natalie Vaughan

Traditional French food! There was a vegetarian plate of the day, which I was able to get modified to be gluten free. The waiter spoke English and gave great service.

Amandine Monchâtre-Jacquot

Nice place (the music can be a little too loud). Friendly staff. Homemade, quality and hearty dishes. The gluten-free chocolate cake is appreciable. Great discovery.

Alain Poupi

We really enjoyed this restaurant. Quality of dishes and wines. Of course you have to taste Julienas! Kindness of the owner and the waitress. Special attention to avoid gluten forbidden to my wife. Thank you, we will come back.

aurelie cortial

Celiacs (intolerant and allergic to gluten) are welcome. And other vegans and intolerants too. What a wonderful surprise! The service is really great, fluidity, smile, good humor, efficiency! It is better to book. The value for money is perfect! We enjoyed the gravlax trout (local producer), carpaccio and fried capers... a treat, perfectly cooked duck breast, the burgers are a dream... Thank you very much for these couples evenings which we will never get tired of. Looking forward to our next visit to the region to have the great pleasure of re-tasting your very good dishes. We truly wish you well-deserved success. Cyril and Aurélie

Gerard Gege

Great hostel. The welcome is warm and the cook adapts as far as possible to your wishes (gluten allergy not easy everywhere. To recommend with your eyes closed

Sarah Akuffo-Kumih

Lovely staff. Very friendly and helpful. Food is fairly priced and of a decent quality. I had a delicious gluten free crepe and service was fairly quick.

Michal Maayan

Very tasty new year's dinner with great service and wonderful combination of fresh ingredients and new tastes. The chef was willing to provide a gluten free version of the meal.

Eric Poncet

Too many errors for gluten-free. Server error and error on the menu.

Capitaine Gloumi

Restaurant to absolutely discover! Delicate and balanced cuisine, subtle flavors, and what's more: adaptable for gluten-free and vegetarians which will delight young and old gourmets. We didn’t leave a crumb behind! Atmosphere and warm welcome, remember to book and you will be delighted! ✨

Quatre Eléphants

An address NOT TO BE MISSED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES: everything is divine: the cuisine with fresh produce (which also perfectly adapts to lactose or gluten-free diets), the impressive wine list, the setting with its round tables perfect for atmosphere, the wise advice provided by the owner, the service that is warm, discreet and efficient, all with unbeatable value for money: a pure marvel! Thank you for the two festive meals spent in your establishment: unforgettable moments! TENAND family

Marie Wilhélem

We slept very well in this hotel! The staff is great! Breakfast is very well provided! There is even a real gluten-free option <3

Nathalie CHARDON

Tricky to post an opinion which will be very contrasting. The staff are charming and the desire to do well is felt... but the value for money is not fair. The adaptation to gluten-free (although specified at the time of booking) is disappointing. Dessert could only be sorbets (4 scoops of 4 flavors, a very “simple” dessert all the same). The bread offered was a horrible industrial sandwich bread. The lobster, certainly because of the cooking, was tough and rubbery... for the price, it's not good. The pluses? The view is very pleasant. The little glasses that punctuate the meal. But that doesn't justify the asking price.

Apostol Iuliana

Friendly welcome, attentive enough for children, with games and toys, menus adapted even for gluten-free people. A little too fast for sending the dishes, we wonder how it is possible, ok they are well organized. A second visit is necessary for a complete opinion.

Connor Blake

Went here on my last night in morzine and ordered the gluten free pizza which is additional €2.50 extra. My two friends also ordered non gluten free pizza’s. When the pizza’s arrived, my order was incorrect as it didn’t have the chicken I asked for on and had salad on the pizza which I did not ask for. ( had to pay extra €2.00 for chicken on my pizza even though I ordered the carnivore?) They brought out another pizza 15 mins later and it was now the correct pizza but it was again a lot lot smaller than my friends pizza’s. Very very thin base and not very big in circumference. My friends pizzas were nearly over hanging the plates and mine was disappointingly small. I left still feeling very hungry and had to make more food at my apartment. Tried to speak to the people behind the bar about the issues and they said it is just the size of the pizza and muttered in French and walked away. I would suggest explaining to your customers before hand about the size of the pizza so they are not left disappointed and hungry and can perhaps order some chips to go along side, if they are done in a gluten free fryer than is.

Everything about this place is incredible!!! The staff is so courteous and friendly and they caught onto every detail during our stay. For example gluten free cookies and the restaurant is INCREDIBLE! Be sure to eat there on an empty stomach because it is worth savoring every bit of the food from Chef Anne Sophie Pic who even greeted us during dinner! Highly recommend staying here!
