​You can still enjoy great food in Paris even if you're gluten-free; the image of gluten-laden plates fills most people's minds when they think of French food. You may now savor delicious food at one of Paris's many gluten-free eateries.

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.

Ambiance and Atmosphere

Charli's Crew greets you with an inviting atmosphere, combining modern aesthetics with a cozy, intimate setting. Whether you're popping in for a quick coffee or settling in for a leisurely meal, the café offers a relaxed environment perfect for both individuals and small groups
There are also a few tables outside.

The Menu: A Gastronomic Journey

What truly sets Charli's Crew apart is its commitment to catering to a diverse range of dietary preferences without compromising on taste or quality. The menu is a testament to creativity, featuring a variety of dishes that celebrate fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

For gluten-free diners, options abound, from fluffy quinoa pancakes topped with seasonal fruits to hearty salads bursting with flavor and texture. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to showcase the natural richness of gluten-free ingredients, ensuring a satisfying dining experience.

Vegans will find themselves spoiled for choice with a selection that goes beyond mere salads. Charli's Crew offers innovative plant-based creations such as creamy coconut curry with tofu and a delightful assortment of vegan pastries that rival their traditional counterparts in taste and presentation.

Many of the dishes can be made gluten free or Keto.
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. :)

Service and Hospitality

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

Conclusion

In conclusion, Charli's Crew is more than just a café—it's a culinary oasis where dietary restrictions are embraced rather than sidelined. Whether you're gluten-free, vegan, Keto, or simply a lover of good food, this Parisian gem offers a menu that delights and satisfies in equal measure. With its inviting ambiance, diverse menu options, and commitment to quality, Charli's Crew earns its place as a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a taste of inclusive gastronomy in the heart of Paris.
