In Bordeaux, the question for celiacs is less about finding gluten-free bread than about finding a kitchen where wheat flour never enters the building. A gluten free bakery in Bordeaux that meets that test is rarer, and the two fully dedicated ones in the center are Bakery Art Gallery and Copains. Nationwide label rules and restaurant certificates are covered in the general round-up of eating gluten-free in France, leaving this page for Bordeaux itself.
An art gallery that bakes
Bakery Art Gallery, known as BAG, occupies the Hôtel de la Perle, a few steps from the Grosse Cloche. The bakery counter is at 24 rue du Mirail, while the contemporary art gallery that shares the building is at 44 rue Saint-François. Everything baked here is organic and wheat-free, made with rice flours from Chambelland, the Paris bakery. Bread, cakes and cookies are joined by lactose-free, vegetarian and vegan items, and the inner courtyard has a terrace for a coffee between gallery rooms.
A Paris import on rue Sainte-Catherine
Copains, at 74 rue Sainte-Catherine, opened in 2026 in the former Le Comptoir de Mathilde shop. The Paris bakery makes everything organic and in-house, using only alternative flours, all of them French. The counter holds baguettes, sandwich loaf, focaccia, sourdough and buckwheat bread, plus pastries for breakfast and afternoon snacks. Some items are vegan or lactose-free, and nothing contains gluten. Copains began in Paris, where fully gluten-free dinner spots, from Neapolitan pizza to Thai, share the map with bakeries such as Chambelland.
What about cannelés?
The city’s signature pastry is made with wheat flour in its classic form, so the cannelé stands apart from the rest of this list. The sensible approach is to ask the shop directly whether a version without gluten exists and how it is made.
Cakes and street food beyond the center
For a gluten free bakery in Bordeaux that also takes custom orders, Sweet Treats by Eulalie, at 29 cours Gambetta in Talence, is the address. Everything is vegan, with éclairs and choux puffs in eight flavors on the regular menu and cake design as the specialty. Gluten is not used in the workshop.
Glut, on rue Barreyre, covers the savory side with street food made without gluten throughout: burgers, pasta, waffles and beer. Pizza and burgers without wheat are also on the menu at a gluten-free restaurant beside Strasbourg’s botanical garden, in case the trip heads east.
Plant-based tables with gluten-free options
Souquo, at 5 quai Sainte-Croix, has run since 2023 as a café, canteen and brunch spot. The menu is vegetarian and vegan, built around organic and local ingredients, and changes every month, with options for celiacs. Paulette, at 84 rue du Loup near Place Pey Berland, has been a vegetarian canteen and café since late 2021, with many vegan dishes and options without gluten. For a kitchen that is entirely plant-based and wheat-free, a pastry shop on rue Foncet in Nice goes a step further.
