Looking for a gluten-free restaurant in Port Lincoln? L'Anse French Café is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, but our French-inspired menu offers clearly marked gluten-free options (GFO) on brunch favourites, gluten-free bread on request and a few gluten-free treats from our pastry cabinet.
We started L'Anse in 2018, naming it with the French word for 'cove' or 'bay', given our new home was a stone's throw away from the beautiful Tumby Bay.
A French café and croissanterie where gluten-free guests get the same care as everyone else at the table.
French food is often linked to baguettes and croissants, but French cooking is just as much about eggs, butter, fresh produce and fine desserts. That is the idea behind our gluten-free menu in Port Lincoln: dishes built around flavour first, not simply "the version without bread".
Dishes that can be made gluten-free are marked GFO (gluten-free option) on our menu, and gluten-free bread can replace toast on any breakfast for $3. Our team is happy to explain what is in each plate.
GF option
Sautéed mushrooms with garlic, potato rösti, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, chives and an enoki mix. Available as a gluten-free option (and a vegan option), it is one of the most satisfying gluten-free breakfasts in Port Lincoln. Pair it with a flat white from our best coffee in Port Lincoln page.
GF option
Avocado, Danish feta, togarashi, furikake and a yuzu and honey dressing. Ask for it on gluten-free bread (GFO), or as a vegan option. Fresh and bright, it is our lighter take on a café classic. If you love avocado, discover why locals call ours the best smashed avocado in Port Lincoln.
Gluten-free
Our pastry team makes a gluten-free lemon slice that proves "free from" never means flavour-free: a tangy lemon layer on a tender base, ideal with an afternoon latte. Browse the rest of our cabinet on our best pastry in Port Lincoln page.
Also available as a gluten-free option: Miso Scrambled Eggs, Chilli Scrambled Egg, Build Your Own Breakfast and Pulled Pork Benedict. Look for GFO on the menu.

Make a reservation"Lovely little French cafe. Owner was super lovely. Food was tasty and the pancakes looked like a work of art! Coffee was great also! We came around 11am and a lot of the pastries were sold out and we managed to get the last serving of pancakes. So suggest going earlier if you want to try all the options."
"The perfection of the croissants and cafe took me straight back to a renowned Boulangerie in Dijon. To mix it up a bit i had a raspberry croissant which you would expect in a Pâtisserie. Do take the time to indulge as it is truly worth it. C'est absolument délicieux!"
"Never thought a simple croissant could make me come back two days in a row, and even take a few to-go before leaving Port Lincoln! If you're visiting, this place is a must-try. Every dish is delicious, but don't miss the croissants – they're a game changer!"
"A charming French patisserie with absolutely delightful and flavorful creations! The croissants are also truly fabulous: light and full of taste. The service is warm and personal, making every visit feel special."
"We recently had breakfast while staying in Port Lincoln. It was amazing! I had the best scrambled eggs I had ever eaten and hubby had the breakfast board and he was very satisfied. If you are visiting Port Lincoln do yourself a favour and stop in."
"The new spring menu is out and it is absolutely delicious!!! 5 stars just doesn't seem enough to give as a review!! Both of the owners Grace and Marvin go out of their way to make you feel welcome!"
"Always amazing! Every visit feels special. The food is not only delicious but also beautifully presented, and the coffee is rich and perfectly made. What really makes this café stand out is the people."
"A Port Lincoln must do!! Probably the most delicious croissant and pain au chocolat I've had other than in Paris. Flaky, buttery deliciousness. Coffee was good too. 10/10."
"The perfect gem in Port Lincoln! Excellent quality, one of the best croissants in Australia, and absolutely delicious vegetarian options. Great concept all along - the team definitely deserve their multiple awards."
