Café Comptoir Abel

Not celiac friendly

This restaurant was highly recommended by a Lyon resident, but unfortunately the chef could not (or did not) want to modify a dish to be sans gluten for me. I was told that everything on the menu contained flour, and because I was here with work colleagues, I felt a bit stuck eating here. So I asked if I could have a chicken dish without the flour-based sauce, and what I got was a plain piece of boiled chicken breast/leg and two small boiled carrots. Very disappointing that a renowned chef couldn't take the time to make something more palatable. We were the first party there, so it wasn't even busy.
