Chambelland

Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


Using rice and buckwheat flour from its own mill in southern France, this pioneering 100% gluten-free bakery creates exquisite cakes and pastries as well as sourdough loaves and brioches peppered with nuts, seeds, chocolate and fruit. Stop for lunch at one of the handful of plastic tables in this relaxed space, strewn with sacks of flour and books.

There is always a salad (summer) or homemade soup (winter), served with a chunk of crunchy focaccia. Or grab a sandwich – to eat in or take away.
