Gluten-Free Eating in Lyon: 6 Verified Addresses, All Wheat-Free

France’s culinary capital, Lyon was long a city where fully gluten-free dining remained rare. That’s changing fast: our database now lists 6 verified addresses… and not a speck of wheat flour enters their kitchens: three are entirely gluten-free, and the three Copains bakeries use oats. Three bakeries from the same chain opened within a year, and in 2026 the city got its first 100% gluten-free grocery. Here’s where to go, and how to handle the rest of your stay in Lyon.

Les Gasteliers: the do-it-all pioneer

Les Gasteliers (4.2★, over 1,000 reviews), rue de Sèze in the 6th arrondissement, is Lyon’s first 100% gluten-free pastry shop and bakery — and it didn’t stop there. Under the same roof: a chocolate shop, caterer, tea room and delicatessen, all gluten-free. It’s the address to remember whether you’re stopping in for a snack or leaving with your arms full — and if you’re just passing through, the shop delivers anywhere in France.

Âme à Table: the first entirely gluten-free grocery

Âme à Table, 19 rue Vauban in the 6th arrondissement, presents itself as Lyon’s first 100% gluten-free grocery: over 500 savoury and sweet products, fresh, frozen, pantry items and drinks, all gluten-free. No on-site production, but a valuable address for anyone renting an apartment or packing a picnic: you fill your basket without reading a single label. Open Tuesday to Saturday, hours on the listing.

Copains: three bakeries in a year

The wheat-free Parisian chain, founded by two friends, opened its first Lyon address in 2025 and now counts three, each with bread, viennoiseries and pastries:

• Copains, rue du Président-Édouard-Herriot, on the Presqu’île, a stone’s throw from the Jacobins;
• Copains Vitton, cours Vitton, in the 6th arrondissement;
• Copains Lumière, rue Antoine-Lumière, in the 8th arrondissement.

One thing worth knowing: several recipes use certified gluten-free oat flour. Certified oats are permitted in a gluten-free diet, but a small share of people with coeliac disease react to them — if that’s you, ask which items contain it. We explain it all in our article is oat gluten-free?

The city’s first 100% gluten-free pizzeria

Opened in 2019, Sans gluten pizza epicerie (4.6★), Grande Rue de la Guillotière in the 7th arrondissement, is Lyon’s first entirely gluten-free pizzeria. The house dough is kneaded from five different flours, in a kitchen with zero risk of contamination — a rare luxury for anyone who hasn’t enjoyed a worry-free pizza since their diagnosis. And the attached grocery lets you restock before heading off.

A growing offer, still catching up

Six addresses is still few for France’s third-largest city. Our database counts 231 addresses in France, of which 64 are fully dedicated — a little over a quarter, while most of the major countries in our database exceed 85%. The “fully dedicated” culture, well established in Paris and in neighbouring countries, is spreading more slowly across the regions. The silver lining: in Lyon, every existing address has made the most demanding choice of all — a kitchen with absolutely no wheat flour. To understand why that distinction matters so much day to day, read our article on what “100% gluten-free” really means.

What about Lyon’s bouchons?

Let’s be honest: no Lyonnais bouchon currently appears in our database — traditional Lyon cuisine, rich in quenelles, thickened sauces and fried dishes, still doesn’t lend itself easily to being fully dedicated. That doesn’t mean an adapted meal is impossible, but it has to be handled case by case: call ahead, mention coeliac disease (not just a “diet”), and ask the awkward questions — flour in the sauces, shared fryers. Our guide on cross-contamination lists the right reflexes.

Our tips for getting around

• The 6th arrondissement concentrates the offer: Les Gasteliers on rue de Sèze, Copains on cours Vitton and Âme à Table on rue Vauban are a few minutes’ walk from one another.
• An entirely gluten-free day: bakery in the morning, pizza at lunch, then a snack and supplies afterwards.
• AFDIAG, the French association for gluten intolerance, lists trained establishments across France: a useful resource beyond our own database.
• Continuing your trip? Paris and its 50 verified addresses are two hours away by train, and our guide to gluten-free holidays in France covers the rest of the country.
