Review


Celiac here 👋🏻 I went to this restaurant with the highest of hopes. Yes, they have many gf items on their menu and a dedicated gf fryer. Unfortunately, the food was so terrible it just cannot be excused. Us Celiacs deserve better than this. When a restaurant knowingly serves celiacs, they not only take on safety issues, but the food should be good. WE DESERVE BETTER. My fellow celiacs, please stop accepting crappy food as ‘good enough’. Our safe offerings won’t get better if we allow this kind of mediocrity to be okay.

My fish and chips were terrible: the fish was cold and my fries were not fully cooked. 😩 I loathe sending food back, especially in Paris! But it was stone cold. So, they refried the fish (the same piece I had already taken a bite of.) 😳 I was already queasy from the man smoking a cigar which fumigated the restaurant, and the mouse running throughout the indoor patio, so when they refried my fish, making it unbearably dry, I gave up.

My husband had the chicken parm, which was dry and looked wholly unappetizing. I didn’t even try his because it looked so bad, and felt apologetic for bringing him to this place that so many people had talked about on FMGF.

TLDR: skip this place. You deserve better food in Paris than this. Other restaurants can provide the same safety this restaurant offers, with MUCH better food.
