Vegetarian Restaurants in Paris
[UPDATES: The Covid epidemic has affected some of the restaurants and other spots in Paris and while I’ve updated this list from time to time, some of the places may be closed, so best to check their website – and social media pages – to confirm places are open before heading out.]
[Two excellent vegan pastry shops are VG and Land & Monkeys.]
In the last decade, the vegetarian dining scene has blossomed in Paris and there are more vegetarian (and vegan) places than ever. I’ve updated this list over the years to include new places. Note that many standard restaurants in Paris have become more vegetarian-friendly and often have options on the menus that don’t include meat. In addition, the specialty coffee scene in Paris has exploded and most of them have cafés that served vegetarian-friendly fare. Those include Café Méricourt and HolyBelly,
Bob’s Juice Bar (15 rue Lucien Sampaix) is a lively, fast-paced vegetarian restaurant and juice bar where you dine at a communal table. Owned by an American, the place is genial and the food is delicious. Think tofu sandwiches, muffins, and futomaki. There is also Bob’s Bakeshop, which has sandwiches and homemade bagels.
Two other good bets are Rose Bakery and Bread and Roses. Both serve very fresh food, much of it vegetable-oriented, in a casual atmosphere.
The hip Eastside Burgers has vegetarian hamburgers and hot dogs.
In the Batignolles covered market, there’s My Kitch’n.
