Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots to Delight in Lyon

Murray Gregory

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 :)

This was a very nice stopover after our holiday in Spain. The pizzas were delicious, two very sweet people who run this small restaurant with care and love. The gentleman makes the pizzas and the lady is from the pastry shop. I wouldn't skip dessert, it's really delicious!!!! As a Celiac, it is so nice to be able to eat without any worries. It's possible here🙏

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!

I have come several times, at lunchtimes and in the evenings, I am never disappointed! The dishes are good, copious, well prepared, the staff is charming and adapts to exceptional requests (a gluten-free person for our group) when they are notified in advance, the setting is pleasant and the prices very reasonable… I recommend, I'll be back !

Katelyn Coskey

Delicious gluten free pizza and beer!

Ivy Healy

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!

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

Silvia Grosso

Delicious gluten-free pizza. Open all afternoon you can eat at any time.

Noirin Shanahan Mercer

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

Sarah Uthoff

We ended up here by chance today and were able to enjoy a delicious meal. What's particularly noteworthy is that almost everything was vegan and gluten-free wasn't a problem. We will definitely remember the evening :)

NIME

I let myself be tempted by accompanying a friend who eats vegetarian and gluten-free. I was very pleasantly surprised. The food is excellent and the staff lovely. Reasonable price. Thank you so much !!!

Sylvain DATTRINO

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!

Elisa Di Nuovo

Essential place for celiacs in Lyon. I found it very difficult to eat gluten free in the city. Luckily there was the crêperie d'Amélie that made gluten-free galettes, both sweet and savory.

Emily Bone

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!

Leon

The food options weren't that varied and the "galleries" didn't add much to the meal, the meal as a whole was still delicious though. The galettes were gluten free, but rather than making gluten free crepes they used galettes for the dessert as well, which was a bit disappointing, but it's good they at least have the option. Very polite staff, but service could've been slightly faster. A great experience overall.

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!

Claire V

Great address!! delicious dishes without animal products, sugar and gluten. The offer changes every week.

Patricia Ortiz Delgado

I am celiac and in Lyon there are very few gluten-free places and I loved this place. They have savory buckwheat crepes and they adapt the sweet ones with the same flour so you don't have a problem. I also want to highlight the good treatment of the staff and their kindness.

Hermine H.

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

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!

Blanche Menendez

We had dinner at Gardn Lab at the end of March. For a first time, it was very successful! My partner is celiac and the cuisine was 100% gluten-free! Very enjoyable, dined with confidence, aesthetic setting and tasty cuisine! We will come back!

Audrey Benson

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The service was extremely attentive and pleasant. I must be on a gluten-free diet, and the server and chef provided a delicious meal that was safe for me to eat. Our meal was one of the best we have ever had! Absolutely delicious!

Eliot T.

Super delicious—this went down in a matter of minutes! I loved eating here and the moussaka was outstanding. Our waiter was super polite and the glasses of French wine was yum. Super fun coming here with my vegan friends and coeliac girlfriend as they could all eat happily and safely. Only thing was that the chips were a bit pricey… however some extra salt could make that all the better

Anja Carina Salzmann

Very good, vegan and gluten-free if you want. ☺️💗 very very nice. It’s together with yoga school next door. I like it☺️💗

Charlotte

The card is great! We loved it. The menu changes every month. Everything is handmade with love ❤️ gluten intolerances and allergies are specified, we were happy 🙏 the team is adorable. We will come back and with pleasure!! Thank you 🥰

Federica Duras

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

FE

Their Falafels are very, very good (and they are gluten-free)!

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.

Jean-Marc De Gasparo

Very helpful staff, looking for solutions for customers with allergies to gluten, dairy products. Adapt the daily special accordingly. After 45 minutes of searching one of the only establishments listening. THANKS.

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.

Sandrine CHRIQUI

A pure moment of happiness Everything is there, taste, quality, kindness of the owner. Being gluten-lactose intolerant, for the first time in a long time I was able to eat like my children, I rediscovered the joy of sharing a wonderful meal Thank you from the heart It was perfect

Jean Paul MAFFINI

Very warm welcome and original meal: we eat by hand in a pancake made with local gluten-free flour.

Annabelle Chevallier

I ordered a burger with a gluten-free bun (on Deliveroo) being highly intolerant. Already the supplement is 2nd (in France it is one of the only countries where we are given gluten-free options even though it is a health problem, so it is discriminatory). Then when I received my order, normal bread... I couldn't eat my burger. I made a complaint on Deliveroo and ended up with a refund of 0.90e (from the restaurant certainly the price of a normal bun). Fucking shit. It would have been at least pleasant to reimburse the price of the supplement and normal to reimburse the price of the burger. It's good to want to make gluten-free options but you have to know a little about it and manage it properly, otherwise don't bother.

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!

Brad West

Excellent French (Lyonaise) food with a family living room type vibe. Also, I was shocked they were able to provide several gluten free food options for my wife, who celiac. She got the pulled beef and loved it. Definitely recommend.

Julien LEBRAT

Very good restaurant with beautiful surroundings. The menu offers dishes that can be adapted to people with intolerances/allergies to gluten and lactose (don't hesitate to ask)! Only downside: For “big eaters”, the portions are a little small but perfectly adequate!

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!

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!) 👌

itachié dessus

An exceptional place where you feel perfectly welcomed and served throughout the meal. Franco-Japanese cuisine is highlighted by a delicate work of flavors and aesthetics, enhanced by a tailor-made service which will guide you in the choice of your menu and your drinks. Being gluten intolerant, I wasn't able to enjoy many Japanese fusion dishes, but I was delighted by the care taken with each of my plates so that they were exclusively gluten-free (without me having to sort directly on the dish as elsewhere…). Thank you again for this experience!

Jean HOERDT

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.

Audrey Mir

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

Maslanka Corentin

Very nice home. I don't necessarily recommend that you go through TheFork because there seem to be reservation problems at times, and I don't want you to miss out on this very nice little restaurant. A short but effective menu, quality dishes, organic and from the region, although the quantities are perhaps a little light. The major point is above all a perfect welcome. The boss took great care, in particular by thoughtfully offering a gluten-free beer to my intolerant companion.

K Photography

We came because my partner is celiac and we were pleased to see that the restaurant has adapted to offer her a complete menu (with at least two choices of starter, main course and dessert). The dishes were tasty, plentiful and the team was very welcoming with a smile. THANKS !

Banana Ramirez

Nice place where you can recharge your batteries for the lunch break by tasting very good hot bowls, toasted sandwiches, rice flour cakes for those intolerant to gluten, all in a jazzy atmosphere. The welcome (a duo) is very friendly, takes care of the customers. Go there with your eyes closed

Sandrine Franchet

The perfect neighborhood bistro where you are welcomed with care and above all where you enjoy good homemade dishes or original platters, made from often local and high quality products, all at an affordable price, which ask for more? Well you can ask for vegetarian dishes, others gluten-free, beer brewed on site and good Ardèche wines ;)!

Lauren Bachet

Absolutely sublime! What a lovely surprise from every point of view: delicious food, everything is really perfect, the tastes, the research in the dishes and the combinations, the cooking, the delicacy of the plating...the very pretty place, very well cared for. It’s a very refined place and cuisine. In addition, the chef and his team are very open to adapting the dishes to vegans and gluten-free guests. Very nice open-mindedness... And there is a real ethical approach, with local and healthy products, short circuit. I really highly recommend it and I will come back very quickly, clearly it was a nice surprise and without fail I am won over! A big thank-you :) Lauren Bachet

Sarah L

Excellent and real attention paid to allergens (gluten, nuts, etc.)

Claudie DIDIER

I like coming back to this place...quiet...where the food is good...I fell for the gluten-free chocolate fondant with all butter and chocolate and I haven't regretted it 😉
