Leslie Gluten Free Finds

They take allergies and celiac very seriously here. Although the menu is not marked, you can ask them what is gluten-free. I'm majority of the entrées are. And they have a dedicated fryer and some of the best fries we have ever had. It is one of our go to places and we feel very safe coming here. They've got great protocols in place.

First time ever here and what a gem! It's fine dining in the most comfortable atmosphere. Every ingredient and combination is carefully thought out. It's a dream for people who eat gluten free. They even packed a gluten free crepe along with a homemade roast, carrots and onions for my niece to take home to Johnstown for her husband. I cant recommend it enough! ps. wonderful, kind & friendly staff.

We had a great breakfast, and the gluten free options were appreciated!

Fantastic pastries, especially if you want something unique. They are reasonably priced for how filling and good they are. The allergens are clearly marked for each item and there are several gluten free choices. They also have teas and coffees. There is a long counter with bar stools where you can sit and enjoy the pastries as well as a full service restaurant in back. The bar seating isn't the easiest if you are there with more than one other person and want to have a conversation but at least there is an option to sit and eat.

I’ll preface by saying I have a severe gluten intolerance, and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. They cleaned all the equipment and changed their gloves before making my order, which put my mind at ease. I ordered the savory classic crepe with buckwheat, I believe someone else posted a photo of it already. Wow, it tastes amazing and fills you up but not in a bad way. The fresh salad is a breakfast addition as well. The coffee, lattes and cappuccinos are also very well made. The atmosphere is very relaxing, nice decor, and the shop is well kept and clean. Definitely give Mel’s a try when you’re in the Burgh!

Delicious place for brunch!!! Numerous gluten free options! Stopped here on a quick trip to Philadelphia and was not disappointed. I can’t remember the exact name of the dish, but it was amazing! I’m dreaming about this breakfast months later! The dish was a play on eggs Benedict and a breakfast hash. Everything was cooked well and seasoned just right! The blend of French and Lebanese cuisine is a beautiful paring! The cafe is small, but cozy. Everyone eating there was enjoying their food and were repeat customers. The service was friendly and timely. The server double checked about gluten-free items and I did not have any reactions. Street parking, but such a lovely walk.

Nice upscale Mediterranean style restaurant. Nice pairing as far as the dishes and the drinks. Ample seafood options as well as gluten free, vegan options. Service was second to none 👌. Did I mention the food was delicious? Because it certainly was and nice presentation as well. Definitely worth checking out.

Have never been disappointed. I have been coming here for years and is my absolute favorite local French place. Delicious soup d' jour and super gluten free friendly. Cute little outdoor space too

David Richardson

The food was amazing. The gluten free pancakes were the best I've ever had! I will definitely bring friends and family back to try more from their extensive menu.

This place is incredible! Simply one of the best meals we had in Hershey. The savory and the sweet crepes are both delicious. So many choices, so little time to try them all. The ingredients they use are fresh and excellent. I'm always partial to a classic dark chocolate and strawberries crepe but I also enjoyed the lemon sugar crepe. The big bonus is that they make gluten free crepes which was a huge plus for us as our daughter has celiac. The owner/chef is amazing and gave great advice. The level of service was next level.

What a wonderful meal we had last night! Kyle, our server was terrific. He was very helpful with suggestions and helped my dairy allergic partner find options on the menu. I started with a half portion of the tropical salad, which was full of delicious fruit and cashews, goat cheese, everything seasoning, and perfectly balanced dressing. My partner started with the deviled eggs with crab that he enjoyed. He also had the crab cakes, which were all crab meat (gluten and dairy free!), and was super happy with his meal. My entree was the trout special with tons of jumbo lump crab meat, mash, green beans in an almond and butter sauce. My friend also loved her filet mignon. Everything was cooked perfectly. Desserts were tasty too and I loved the plum and walnut ice cream special. We enjoyed our dinner outside. The ambiance is nice both inside and outside. Would definitely come back again!

Thankful that you had a gluten-free crepe option! It was yummy!

Krista Johnston

Great food and even better service. Our server was very helpful in letting us know which menu options were gluten free (a lot!). We also sat overlooking the kitchen and you could her the kitchen staff confirmed orders with nut or shellfish allergies--I would feel comfortable eating here with a food allergy. The two of us shared four plates and it was the perfect amount of food. The crispy oyster mushrooms were our favorite.

Pittsburgh friends turned us on to Paris 66 Bistro while visiting, and the four of us went for dinner. And it's a gem. The food was excellent. There were accommodations for my husband's gluten allergy. There's something for nearly everyone, including vegetarian and gluten-free options or adaptations. (There will likely be off-menu specials, too.) We enjoyed a full dinner, appetizers, wine, and dessert. Meal prices align with better restaurants with items at various price points. We received full attention from our servers without it feeling overbearing. The atmosphere is lovely. We felt like we were in France and even got to practice a little French with the owner, who is French (though French isn't needed). There is a parking garage near, beside/behind the restaurant, and street parking. As a closing note, we're a gay couple who felt welcome. I highly recommend considering Paris 66 Bistro.

Great spot Limited seating but they move people through so you aren't waiting long. Worth the wait and they have Gluten Free crepes.

Will Laohoo

We ordered dinner on Caviar and got it delivered, which was quite convenient. They pack everything nicely, and the food tasted great! I had the duck á l'orange for my entreé, which had a great crispy skin and tender meat. Desserts were good too - macarons were good, especially the coffee-flavored one, and the chocolate mousse was delicious! The flourless orange cake tasted good for the most part, but the one we got had a block of baking soda that hadn't dissolved into the batter, which didn't taste good. They're really great about gluten-free!

Craig L

Very happy with the Gluten Free options. Crab fried rice is amazing!

Morgan Frechie

Gluten free options including sushi and pad thai. Gluten free soy sauce. Very delicious.

Tara Padovan

Super nice spot! The gluten free bagels were AMAZING, will be coming back for those. The service was great, the setup is super cute. Worth a stop for sure, great atmosphere.

Crystal Angelus

Amazing taste of Europe right here in town. A unique and charming little eatery with gourmet desserts! They have fresh quiche and soups daily, and sandwich combos. I was in love with the dessert case and haven't seen anything like it since I was in England. The lady at the counter was so very nice and helpful. They have gluten free buns and even a few of their soups and desserts are gluten free! This was much appreciated as we had someone in our party with Celiac dietary needs. Thank you for being so accommodating. The food tastes delicious and is made fresh in house with quality you can taste. Little pricey but I think it's worth it.

My husband and I had our elopement dinner/microwedding here in November 2023. Samantha and the whole Royal Boucherie staff gave us the best experience we could have wished for. We planned everything in less than three weeks. Samantha & team were not phased a bit, even as we were adding new vendors to the roster week of (a holiday week at that.) Communication was prompt from the day we submitted our inquiry. They managed logistics with our vendors. They were able to accommodate a gluten allergy and a few other dietary restrictions flawlessly. Every single staff member we interacted with was attentive, friendly, and accommodating. In addition to Samantha, I want to give a special shout out to the hostess who helped us see the space while we were making the decision on where to host and also made sure our “after party” was comfortable and had space downstairs at the bar after the wedding. We used the upstairs covered patio for our ceremony and the parlor for our reception. We decided not to bring in any flowers because the space is already so green and beautiful. We received lots of compliments on the food. The staff went out of their way to make sure we, as the bride and groom, were able to enjoy passed Hors D'oeuvres as we were taking family portraits during cocktail hour. If you are looking for a place to host your 65 or less person wedding in Philadelphia, add Royal Boucherie to your shortlist. They went above and beyond for our day and we cant wait to continually go back to celebrate new life milestones.
