I just returned from 8 days in Paris and am happy to report that I was able to eat gluten free the whole time. One establishment my friend and I ate at was called Charli's Crew. It was so good that we ate there on three different occasions.
Nestled in the heart of Paris, amid the bustling streets and historic architecture, Charli's Crew stands out as a beacon of culinary innovation and inclusivity. This charming café caters not only to the discerning palate but also to those with specific dietary needs, offering a menu that embraces gluten-free, vegan, and keto lifestyles with equal gusto.
Charli’s Crew was created by a mother-daughter duo, Charli and Andy (a nutritionist at the Sugar Doctor® in Instagram) three years ago. They are located at 14 Rue Mandar, 75002 Paris, France.
At Charli’s Crew they're passionate about food and their philosophy is where gluten free, Keto, paleo, vegan or a meat eater, you'll find something delicious and nutritious.

I had the Mac No Cheese (twice) and Shakshuka. Both were delicious and very filling.

We asked Charli why they call it the "dirty" burger and she told us that it is because it is quite messy with all of its juicy goodness.
Beverages and Treats
No café experience would be complete without a selection of beverages to complement the meal. Charli's Crew boasts an array of freshly brewed coffees and teas, including dairy-free milk alternatives for those avoiding lactose.
I had the peach lemonade. Very refreshing!
Save room for dessert, as Charli's Crew excels in the art of guilt-free indulgence. All of their desserts are vegan. I had dessert twice - the chocolate chips banana bread and the peanut butter brownie. My only regret is that I didn't get dessert that third visit and that I didn't take an extra for the plane ride home. :)

Beyond the exceptional cuisine, Charli's is friendly and attentive. She stopped several times to chat with us and answer our questions.
