Top 9 Gluten-Free French Cafés to Delight in Connecticut

We stopped in here during our visits in New haven. This establishment boasts an appealing atmosphere with a charming ambience. The service is courteous, although the waitstaff, while kind, may be preoccupied. Consideration for a designated server could enhance attentiveness. The cappuccino is commendable. Among the crepes, the Norvegienne, featuring smoked salmon, lacks a harmonious flavor profile with the buckwheat base. However, the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe proves delightful. While I would revisit, I suggest avoiding the savory buckwheat crepes, as they may not align with personal preferences, though they may appeal to those seeking a gluten-free option. Be prepared to smell like a crepe when leaving. Bathroom is in a very weird location with scary movie vibes.

Beautiful spot on the water - excellent food and service - nice gluten free choices include profiteroles for dessert and soufflé at dinner !

Simply amazing food and service! Everything I ordered - the endive salad, the duck (canard au chou), and the grand marnier souffle were prepared to perfection with high quality ingredients! In addition, when we initially told our server that I must eat gluten free, he did not bat an eyelash. Everything I ordered already happened to be GF already (and he knew this off hand), but they brought me gluten free toast when my husband was served baguette slices and told me which of my husband's dishes I could try. For those that have a food sensitivity, this consideration means everything for a most pleasant dining experience. Also appreciated was that, after suggesting some wines we liked, our server guided us to a delicious wine within our budget that went very well with both our entrees. My husband ordered the duck confit appetizer and the venison (chevreuil aux poivres), both delicious and perfectly prepared. He also loved the grand marnier souffle. It's so rare that everything we might both order in a restaurant would be so wonderful. We will definitely be back with our foodie friends!

Best crepes I have ever had, hands down. The savory crepes are Gluten free and sugar free, and super flavorful. The fillings are really unique and delicious! The sweet crepes are crispy and fluffy, just perfection!! Can’t wait to try them all!Ambiance is very European, and the place is spotless. Highly recommend!! You won’t be disappointed.

I would call this a "family style" French restaurant. Great comfort food, lots of variety, and gluten free options, throughout the menu. The moules frites (steamed mussels with french fries) have several different broths to choose from, but sadly no GF bread to soak (Please advise them to get Mama's cheese bread as a GF option!).

I would like to underline outstanding staff working here. Our daughter is celiac and the staff went out of their way to make sure that everything on her plate is gluten free. Food is high quality and very delicious. Their mashed potatoes bring me France. Everything was very juicy and full of flavor. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for anything French.

Attended an absolutely beautiful and elegant event on Dec 30th and was absolutely blown away by the quality of both the food and staff. Immediately upon arrival we were greeted by incredibly friendly and attentive staff and were offered drinks. Prior to the event start, a waitress came around to refill our glasses and made sure we were set so as not to leave during the event. For dinner, I ordered the chicken and my husband ordered the gnocchi, both of which were absolutely delicious, and even my husband who is not a huge mushroom fan devoured the gnocchi. Additionally I want to add that the staff was incredibly competent with food allergies and restrictions. I have celiac and the waitress was very on top of making sure I knew my options and was able to safely enjoy the food. When the dessert trays came out, she came right up to me and showed me exactly which desserts I was able to enjoy. I truly have no complaints about any part of the wonderful night. Will definitely be returning to this wonderful establishment!

Tried Le Mazet tonight for the first time and it was so great! Great service and each and every staff member that greeted us was so friendly. We started with the steak tar tar which was one of the best I’ve ever had. I ordered the duck sandwich on greens (which was a nice gluten free option) and the salmon. Both were very good and both came out shortly after the other. Will definitely come back again in the future!
