Looking For a Gluten Free Bakery?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Nestled on the eclectic Rue san Honor\u00e9 and just a short walk from the spectacular Jardin des Tuileries, is Helmut Newcake<\/a>, a completely gluten-free Parisian bakery. Exquisite pastries and artisanal cakes coat every surface of this bakery. There you can gorge on Canel\u00e9, chocolate \u00e9clairs, tarte au citron or anything you like, as it’s all gluten-free! Word on the street is they\u2019re almost better than the originals!<\/p>\n\n\n A little out of the centre of Paris in the 13th<\/sup> arrondissement, on the rue Tolbiac is the winner of the best baguette of the year 2017, Brun Boulangerie. So just how many bakeries are there in Paris? As of 2017, Brun Bakery beat 1,217 for the top spot. Golden croissants, creamy Paris-Brest and rum babas complete with a little pipette to squeeze more syrup in to the sweet sponge, are all on offer as well as the award winning baguettes. While you\u2019re in the area, take a stroll around the Butte aux Cailles, a beautiful part of Paris frozen in time. Cobbled streets line this village like area which is brimming with family run restaurants and vintage shops.<\/p>\n\n\n One of the oldest coffeehouses in Paris, this alleged \u2018birthplace of surrealism\u2019 has been hosting celebrated writers, artists and philosophers, including Sartre and Pablo Picasso since the 1880\u2019s. Caf\u00e9 de Flore<\/a> does amazing things with eggs! Try the omelette with wild mushrooms or pop in for an ap\u00e9ritif, but expect crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n Previously frequented by Coco Chanel nonetheless, Angelina caf\u00e9<\/a> is the perfect place for a decadent breakfast. The famous hot chocolate L\u2019Africain is well worth a try for those with a sweet tooth, served with a chestnut cr\u00eape or a caramelised brioche. The beautiful interior was designed in the classic Belle \u00c9poque style, exuding opulence, grandeur and romance.<\/p>\n\n\n This hidden gem is located in the 5th<\/sup> arrondissement and decorated with exotic azure tiles and filled with tropical plants and flowers. Follow the walls of the Grand Mosque<\/a> for the restaurant, where you can choose to sit in the Moroccan courtyard or the traditionally decorated inside dining room. Rich tagines, couscous and of course mint tea are served, and there is a fantastic selection of flaky buttery sweets for afters. A glamorous oasis in the heart of Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to the incredible quality and variety of produce in France, no trip is complete unless wine and cheese are consumed, preferably together. But in such a cosmopolitan city, it can be tricky to navigate your way through the many streets and find where to eat the best cheese and drink the best wine in Paris. La Cave du Septime<\/a> is a tiny hole-in-the-wall wine bar well hidden in an old shoe shop. The walls are covered with bottles to buy and drink, and be sure to get some small plates including mozzarella and salted anchovies, and a selection of cheeses from Quatrehomme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This brings us to Quatrehomme<\/a>, a cheesemonger with a rich history and 4 shops in Paris. With a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, this place is for aficionados and beginners alike with an incredible range of cheeses.<\/p>\n\n\n You\u2019ve had one of the best cheese places in Paris, now for the wine. Le Baron Rouge<\/a> is a Parisian institution when it comes to wine so be prepared to share space. If you arrive after 5pm you\u2019ll almost certainly be out on the buzzing pavement with the rest of the latecomers, but it doesn\u2019t matter. This unpretentious local bar serves local cheeses, charcuterie and seasonal oysters. And for a small deposit, you can fill up 1-litre bottles straight from the wine barrel for as little as \u20ac4.50.<\/p>\n\n\n Confit duck is not only a delicious and decadent meal, but along with frogs legs and snails, it\u2019s also quintessentially French. Not a cheap option but worth it if you\u2019re on an indulgent holiday is La Tour d\u2019Argent<\/a>. The Caneton de Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Delairm or \u2018pressed duck\u2019, their signature dish, comes with a certificate for every diner who orders it – over 2 million so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Duck is costly but most of us are looking for mains which are more of a 2 figure affair, rather than 3. Le Petit Canard <\/a>almost exclusively serves duck in a variety of different ways. Expect confit, duck \u00e1 l\u2019orange, and duck tartare, at much more pocket-friendly prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Situated in the vibrant Marais district (4th<\/sup> arrondissment), where food, fashion and delicious libations lurk down every cobbled street, is Le Mary C\u00e9leste<\/a>. This little oyster bar serves fresh oysters daily at \u20ac1 per pop during their happy hour (5pm til 7pm). All of which can be washed down with a glass of white wine for \u20ac5 a glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lively Parisian bistro right next to the Gare de l\u2019Est, Ext\u00e9rieur Quai<\/a> serve \u20ac1 oysters every Wednesday night from 6pm until they run out. Retro posters line the walls and a pinball machine sits in the corner. This relaxed bistro has over 70 bottled beers to wash down your Hu\u00eetres.<\/p>\n\n\n With French cuisine famously leaning heavily on cream, butter and meat, it begs the question; how to eat like a vegan in Paris? Try 42 Degrees<\/a> for an alternative meal at this 100% raw restaurant that offers dishes like girolle mushrooms with parsley oil, and hazelnuts and a raw apple pie with date caramel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Abattoir V\u00e9g\u00e9tal<\/a> has transformed its site from an actual abattoir, to an Instagrammers dream, filled with plants and flowers. The affordable \u20ac15 starter and main lunch menu offers large portions of colourful curries, seasonable vegetables and falafel with lemon cream, all adorned with edible flowers. Arguably the best vegan restaurant in Paris is the traditional Le Potager du Marais<\/a>. Classic French home-style cooking but completely organic and vegan and mostly gluten free! Enjoy French onion soup, mushroom pat\u00e9, and apricot cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e in a rustic and friendly setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n French macarons are synonymous with Paris and no trip is complete without sampling the sweet treats. Well-known purveyors of French macarons, Ladur\u00e9e <\/a>have a very clever marketing team and have had their macarons featured in many films and TV ads including Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. Established in 1862 the Ladur\u00e9e shop on the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es is like stepping into a Disney film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arch rivals of Ladur\u00e9e, Pierre Herm\u00e9<\/a>, possibly the most famous macaron shop in Paris, also offer luxury macarons. A pioneer of the classic French sweet, make sure you try his signature pistachio macaron. The soft yet crisp shell crumbles away to reveal pistachio and almond meringue and a white chocolate and pistachio ganache, with a hint of bitter almond. This classic Parisian treat doesn\u2019t usually come cheap and the above-mentioned might put you a little out of pocket. Carette<\/a>, just a stone\u2019s throw away from the Eiffel Tower, offers delicious macarons where you can order a plate of 5 mini macarons for \u20ac10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although eating and drinking may be the most important part of any Paris trip. Believe it or not, there are other things to do!<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Helmut](\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/cake-optimised-1-700x494.jpg\")
