Biosphère Café

We came here for lunch on the day before we left Paris. This place is tiny but they were so friendly (and they even let us bring the dogs inside, which was amazing). I ended up getting an Asian style bowl with GF egg rolls, which was a great break from the other type of food we had been eating. The sauce was super flavorful, the meat was tender and the veggies were cooked perfectly. I also loved the egg rolls. They were nice and crispy and had a rice vinegar dipping sauce which tasted amazing.

My friend and my husband each got a sweet crepe and a savory crepe. The crepes were also very good, but we all agreed the sweet one was the best. Definitely worth grabbing a bite here.

Biosphère Café appears to be one of the most recommended gluten-free spots in the whole city, after Noglu and Helmut Newcake, which were both sadly closed during August 2020 when I visited Paris.

Biosphère Café is currently open on reduced opening hours, which is generally between 11:30 in the morning and 3:10 to 4 pm during the week. They're closed on weekends.

The whole menu is gluten-free which really excited me, they do al-dente style pasta alongside pizzas and a Croque Madame, which was what I came in for having been eager to try a gluten-free version during my time in France.

While the food is good value, I do think drinks are a little expensive and the selection of drinks also is a little poor, they seemed to mainly do standard soda and blended smoothie/juices, they didn't seem to have something simple like just orange juice or iced tea, I opted for a mix of what included cucumber, and I didn't enjoy it. It seemed to curdle very quickly and was an expensive disaster.

The food, on the other hand, was a totally different story - my Croque Madame was one of the best single food items I've had in Paris, the bread held together very well and was naturally crusty and some of the best gluten-free bread I've had, this is someone who is exhausted most gluten-free bread as I generally find them dry, tasteless and disgusting, propped up by chewy seeds but here - none of that. Seedless bread is always a winner for me.

The ham was also exceptional quality, the egg was almost cooked perfectly and I would have liked it ever so slightly runnier, the cheese was also good and I like how they didn't overfill it with cheese which again seems to be common. Some people think to overload toppings removes the taste and makes gluten-free bread edible, but the bread is so good here it doesn't need that. It's just quality on quality.

I did, however, find the lettuce side a little odd and would have preferred some form of potatoes or fries, that being said the honey and mustard dipping sauce was pretty good too, it was obviously fresh.

My crepe was okay, I would have liked more generous filling as the caramel sauce was hot but that didn't taste fresh or anything too exciting.

I didn't like the cafe inside, I did find it really small even the kitchen area seemed small, tables were far close to each other and it could have done with some fresh paintwork.

3* - The Croque Madame alone knocks this rating up alongside the friendly and helpful staff, it was so good, it's a shame about most other parts of the experience weren't.

This place is so, so good, and the staff are maybe the friendliest people in the whole city.
We shared a sandwich and a crepe and finished with macarons.
Highly recommend this place for a good meal in a space that feels comfortable and unhurried.

This tiny, cramped cafe was one I went to twice while in Paris! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. All the menu items are gluten-free and about half of the baked goods and desserts are too. Their gluten/dairy free macarons are amazing!
I had the savory Provençal crepe that is made with buckwheat flour, eggs, tomatoes, olives, and zucchini; muffin with dried fruit at the bottom; blueberry muffin, and sampled their cookies as well. Everything was delicious! Definitely add it to your list of cafes to try while in Paris! Plus, they serve brunch and an early dinner too! (*Think organic wines and organic, gluten-free beer!!)

Delicious, great atmosphere, and very kind wait staff! Try the desserts of the day! Magnificent!

Biosphère Cafe was amazing Restaurant. I was searching Yelp to find some where I can get a GF crepe and hoping to find a GF Croissant in Paris. Biosphère has great reviews it was worth a try. They did not have Croissants but she did have GF crepes. First time having one since I have been diagnosed 30 years ago. She makes her own sauces to put on the crepes and runs the show all by herself . I tried their pizzas as well I can't say anything bad about this place . Yummy

Super delicious gluten free food in Paris! We had trouble finding any GF places to eat at but this little place was charming, the waitress was so kind, and the food was very good. If you go, you HAVE to get a dessert which there is plenty to choose from. Only downside was the hours which were confusing. We went by a few times during times they stated they were open only to find it closed without a note of when they'd be open again.

Great place they are open till 6 but if you would like to order crepes you should come earlier as they close the kitchen quite early.

Great for GF food! Cozy environment and the host spoke very clear English so it is a no brainer for English speaking travelers. Crepes are delicious of course.

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!!!
