Gluten free restaurants and bakeries in the 7th Arrondissement

While I've not noticed any completely GF restaurants in the area, I'd say that every restaurant in that neighborhood has GF options on their menus. I look because I am vegan but not Gluten Free. Salads are also usually a good fall back for me and I got some lovely ones this Fall in Paris.

I'd not worry too much about this as long as you don't need a completely GF kitchen.

editing to add: I've been looking for some menus for you but am not finding much. The menus I have found are not current - they are pre-pandemic mostly and my vegan choices were fewer this last trip. I will also add that there is a Japanese restaurant (Oniwa) on Rue Cler as well as Vietnamese and Indian restaurants on Rue Malar a bit east of Rue Cler might be OK for GF as they definitely are for vegan. A couple of my favorites are La Terrasse du 7eme which is right beside the Ecole Militaire Metro exit as well as Cafe Roussillon on Rue de Grenelle and Rue Cler. Uhhh, plus Amorino, a terrific gelato shop on Rue Cler. They mark their vegan sorbets and I'm sure they can easily point out the GF ones as well!

I know I replied to your question regarding this on a different thread (that wasn't about gluten free) but thought I'd repeat my response here for others who have this question.

I traveled with a friend in 2014 who had celiac and had to be gluten-free. She wrote a succinct paragraph to the effect of "must be gluten free, what are my dining options here?", translated it to French and printed it out to carry with her. Everywhere we went, she simply started with "Sans gluten?" and the waiters instantly knew what she meant and pointed out what she could safely eat on the menu. Only once did someone not understand and she had to pull out the card. They still didn't understand (and honestly it turned out to be the worst place we ate the entire trip - food and service) -- but everywhere else it was no problem at all.

BJL, I have an "I am vegan" card that works as you indicate the Sans Gluten statement did. It's good to have a paper one, mine is taped to a 3x5 index card, instead of just having it on your phone. A time or two in Italy (not France!!) I've had the waiter take the card back to the kitchen then come back to point out what would work for me.

Thanks, Pam and BJL. I thought I'd repost hoping to get more responses. I was hoping to find a bakery to enjoy some GF patisseries, but it appears from theFind Me Gluten Free App that I'll have to trek out to the non touristy areas of the 11th, 17th and 18th. Thanks for your suggestions. Pam, is it cold enough out there yet? I have a picture of my Great grandfather, great grandmother, grandmother and her sisters and brothers outside of a log cabin somewhere in Couer d'Alene; I can only imagine how cold that was back in 1910.

"Pam, is it cold enough out there yet? I have a picture of my Great grandfather, great grandmother, grandmother and her sisters and brothers outside of a log cabin somewhere in Couer d'Alene; I can only imagine how cold that was back in 1910."

NO!!! NOT cold enough! In fact we had record high temperatures this week - high 50's and low 60's. It IS supposed to snow lightly tomorrow AM but may not be enough to shovel. We've had a lot of rain but no snow. I am sure it was different in 1910 and can you imagine a log cabin and none of the technical fabrics we have now for warmth. Yikes.

If your relatives lived here in 1910, they were probably present for the Big Burn which was an apocalyptic wildfire that started east and south of CdA but surely CdA was completely smoked in. It would have been a terrible and frightening time especially when people from east of here started evacuating by train to CdA having to run thru fire to get here. If you are not familiar with the story there were some extraordinary acts of heroism including Big Ed Pulaski who held his group of firefighters in an abandoned mine shaft at gunpoint to save them from the fire.

Back to your original actual travel question, lolol....Just because they are not listed on your app doesn't mean you may not be able to find GF products at bakeries, etc. There are 2 bakeries on Rue Cler - one at the corner of the Rue de Champ de Mars and one at the corner of Rue Saint-Dominique. There are some patisseries/confectioners as well - both famous chains (Laduree and A la Mere de Famille) and local stores both on Rue Cler and on Avenue Motte-Picquet. I'd just go in and ask if they have anything that is GF. Plus how are they going to know there is a demand unless people ask for product?

I'm not familiar with your GF app but will say that the Happy Cow vegan/vegetarian app depends on crowd-sourced information which of course varies in reliability/availability.
