Top 47 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy 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 :)

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.

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 :)

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!

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!

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.

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:))

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☺️💗

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!

FE

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

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

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.

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.

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-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.

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.

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!) 👌

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!

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!

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 😉

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.

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 !

itachié dessus

A very pleasant restaurant which offers quality French cuisine on a small but amply satisfying menu. We very easily let ourselves be guided by the waiter and the kitchen who are both very attentive and alert on any questions we might ask (particularly on the management of gluten intolerance). The room is sober but maintains a good atmosphere thanks to the Chatreuses wall and other objects linked to the restoration. We had a great evening and highly recommend this place.

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.

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

Mme Altar

Very nice and very good pancakes. Even offers buckwheat pancakes for those with gluten intolerance

Sabrina Marnet-Letellier

Came to eat there twice, I loved it! The cuisine is very fragrant (the rougail is full-bodied but remains largely edible for a non-Mauritian palate), original, fresh. The boss is attentive and very pleasant. The plus: We were able to eat gluten-free there without any worries. Allergens are clearly displayed

Justin Malmoustier

Restaurant just right to stay accessible with a menu at 49€. A huge wine list. Friendly team, good food and cozy atmosphere. We asked for gluten-free without the waiter looking at us askance. Great! I will go back soon

Jonathan Cupillari

Very accommodating of Coeliacs! Server recommended lots of great gluten free options! Delicious food great for vegetarians as well.

Eva Clemente

I ordered the beef tartare, and it was spectacular. It also comes with homemade fries. The quality of the food compared to the price is very good. As a person who cannot eat gluten, I recommend it, they adapt several dishes without a problem.

Alexis Fiedorowicz

Gourmet cuisine with good products. In addition, they know how to adapt to gluten intolerances, from beer to bread and dishes. Well done !

Murielle L18

What a great time we had! For our first weekend in Lyon we had the chance to eat facing the water in the “little garden”. The welcome and advice from Geoffray "with an A" were perfect. THANKS. The menu with all the allergens announced is a relief and rare enough to notice it when you are gluten intolerant. 👍 And of course the very copious and very good cuisine. In short, an address that we will keep for a future stay in Lyon.

Helen Forbes

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.

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!

C. L

I love this place! It’s friendly and the food is very good! The possibility of eating gluten-free on site is a real bonus for me (allergy) even if I find the choice more and more limited and that's a shame 😉. I go back there regularly with pleasure! I love the concept and the cuisine that is offered. The place is pretty, the terrace very pleasant and the staff very friendly. See you soon (with, I hope, even more gluten-free choices 😁)!

Shruti Nivas

Wonderful food, music and ambience. Food here is almost always vegan and gluten free, and obviously vegetarian. Menus change regularly.
