Biosphere is charming and delicious. The food is incredible - I really can’t say enough about the flavors and experience. While we arrived early and luckily got a table for two, I encourage others to make a reservation. It’s that good. Also, a sans gluten restaurant is a gift that requires only thought about what I wanted to eat and not wondering what I could eat. I’m so grateful for that opportunity.

What an amazing place! We had a hard time with my son’s Celiac in Paris since there aren’t a lot of good options for those with severe sensitivities. This restaurant was a very timely find. Completely gluten free facility and the owner was wonderful. He had crepes, cheesecakes and a bunch of bread to go. Highly recommend

100 percent gluten free, traditional French food. Galettes, crepes, croque madame, etc. Delicious. Open noon to 6. It’s small so if you are going 12-2 call to book a table.

AMAZING! We had a very lovely brunch here. The place was bustling busy with locals. Wide selection of galettes (which if you’re not familiar is like a French savory crepe) on the menu and I also tried the croque madame. Both were delicious and just what we needed. Classic French cooking and you wouldn’t have a clue it’s all gluten free. Also tried macarons here which were full of flavor and delicious. The owner is lovely and speaks perfect English. Recommend!!!

We found Pizza Bio near our hotel in Paris. Not only do they have gluten free ice cream but they have gluten free pasta and pizza and the service was amazing. The owner was very aware of our Celiac and took his time to ensure no cross contamination happened. My two year old who is also Celiac loved this place.

I can’t rate the food because I went on Sunday AM and it was CLOSED despite the website saying it’s open for Sunday brunch and the hours on the door showing it’s open. Call ahead. This is a sleepy part of Paris and everything seemed closed when we went there.

Whole menu gluten free, but nearly everything had cheese. My family members who do not have to eat gluten free were not thrilled with their food. My daughter & I who have to eat gluten & dairy free were also disappointed. Also very small place with no air flow.

The only place I found in Paris with safe crepes. They were delicious. The waiter who was not celiac said he couldn't tell the difference between these crepes and other crepes in Paris. I did not have a celiac reaction after eating here. Just be careful with the gluten free beer because this is gluten removed beer by United States standards but meets the requirement for gluten free in Europe.

Entirely gluten free facility. All additional allergens, like dairy, nuts, and soy are all clearly listed in the informations for the baked goods and macarons. They were also able to make many options dairy free as well by swapping vegan cashew cheese, and half their macaron flavors were dairy free too!

We sampled half a dozen of the macarons. They were pretty good. It was really nice to find a macaron in Paris that isn't made in a regular bakery with the risks that come with cross contamination.

Wow! We really loved the food here. We are wheat, lactose and fructose intolerant. My children had pizzas, followed by lemon crepes. The rest of us had savoury gallettes followed by sweet crepes, with only a drizzle of sweet sauce--just to try of course. lol. I highly recommend. A slight mistake was made with one wheat free, lactose free gallette. But as I am always vigilant I re-confiemed what it was when it was delivered to the table. They immediately realised their mistake and quickly cooked me a fresh replacement gallette. I would visit again.

Very nice, they speak English well, can do lactose free too. Most items are made with buckwheat, but when I notified them I could not have that either they were able to accommodate me. Thank you Bio Sphere!

We had a great time eating here. The place is tiny, but we were at the tail end of the lunch rush and got a table immediately. Our waiter was hilarious and kept showing us pictures of himself with celebrities. Then there's the food: My daughter (celiac) really wanted to try crepes in Paris, and this was the place. 100% gluten free and absolutely delicious. We all had savory galettes to start and she had a sweet crepe to finish. All around yummy--and no fear of her getting sick made it well worth it.

Very good food and everything is gluten free! I had the pizza and cheese cake and both were fabulous. The quiche looked very good. all the desserts looked great. We stopped in but I would highly recommend a reservation since it quickly filled and those without reservation were turned away. many items are also dairy free.

Place with "cold" furnitures, scandinavian atmosphere.

Young waiters, not too friendly. Middle afternoon & no crepes, disappointed!

Cheese cake excellent. It is nice to find places dedicated to gluten-free.

Great eclair and macaroons. Ham and mushroom crepe was good. Service was just ok. Not very friendly but we were happy to be in a dedicated gf restaurant. The cafe across the street is run by a former New Yorker and we enjoyed talking with him after our lunch.

Walked 20 minutes out of our way to eat here for dinner, to find that they were closed. Only are open for breakfast and lunch. However the man there, knowing how difficult it is to find gf food in Paris, sent us home with some delicious quiche and a cookie. He was very helpful.

The gluten free pizza is one of the absolute best I've had! The crepes are equally delicious and the bakery is is well worth the money. The fresh juices are great! The attendants were very polite and the cafe itself had a really relaxing ambiance.

Biosphere Café originally opened as a purely organic restaurant in 2010, but after customers started asking for more gluten-free items, founder Sylvie quickly converted her café to be entirely organic and certified glutenfree. Biosphere Café's most popular item has to be their crepes, but the gluten-free baguettes take a close second.

The quiche was phenomenal. And also the buckwheat galette Brettonne filled with quel que chose is a great choice. We had two pastries as well. Will probably go back for a baguette later. I believe you have to order those ahead of time. The waiter speaks perfect english. Very good.

Amazing isn't even a good enough word to use! I got pizza soooooooo good!, my boy friend (a non celiac) got the ham egg and cheese crepe amazing! And then I got a dark chocolate crepe for dessert and he for a Carmel ginger crepe oh my god they were by far the bear things we've ever had. We got apple juices that were so fresh and amazing my boy friend had 2. Then we got pastries to go that we're to die for we're going back today to get the gluten free baguette we preordered. (Be warned you have to preorder one). My only complaint is I wish they were open longer so I can go more often they were one of the best gluten free places I have ever been.
