  • Green Garden

    It turns out there are more vegan restaurants in Paris than I had thought: last time I visited Green Garden, I believed the menu which shows ‘V’ symbols next to their vegan options. But today I had a nice chat with the waitress and she cleared it up for me that the menu [and web…

  • Film: Nos Enfants Nous Accuseront

    Too often, organic food can be criticized as some kind of Bobo trend. That’s why I was impressed by the theme of Jean-Paul Jaud’s new film Nos Enfants Nous Accuseront [Our Children Will Accuse Us], where he tackles the issue of the great number of diseases linked to environmental pollutants and the efforts of a small…

  • Saveurs Végét’Halles

    Saveurs Végét’Halles is a great little place and oh so almost vegan. In fact their sign declares that they are a “Vegetarian and Vegan restaurant” and their menu declares that they do “Cuisine Sans Oeuf” (Egg free cooking.) They label everything and even label the one non-vegan food item that they make, which is a lasagne in case you were wondering. It’s…

  • Vegan Lies in Paris

    If you’re a vegan you might recognize this routine. You ask if something is vegan. You ask another guy at the store if it’s vegan. You go away and you come back another day and you double check. You maybe even get invited into the kitchen. You discuss eggs. You discuss milk. You bring up…

  • La Victoire Suprême du Coeur

    La Victoire Suprême du Coeur has gone vegan!  This is a big deal for Paris… now we have two vegan restaurants! You used to have to request vegan versions of their dishes, but they have recently had an image makeover, new decor and a whole new menu that they call vege chic. The new menu is…

Donc, here’s what we had this joyous Noël: Polenta crusted tempeh Orange-ginger sauce Olive-oil roasted potatoes Emily’s Mâche Salad Sauteed leeks with lemon  Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic & Rosemary Mushy Peas courtesy of my English mother-in-law Fruit…

  • bio-moi

    I was walking up Rue Debelleyme from Rose Bakery when I looked up and saw this big sign. I thought to myself “What could this be? I need to find out right away!” My heart started beating faster like a true grocery store addict and I decided to go in and check it out. Well,…

  • Vegan Soaps and Creams

    Vegan Soaps and Creams

    When you eat vegan, you also start thinking about what you’re putting on the outside of your body. After all, your skin is your largest organ. So I am a bit particular about the soap I use. I had heard a lot of good things about the company Lush. It’s absolutely great that they are…

  • List of Vegetarian Restaurants in Paris

    Here is a list of the main Vegetarian and Vegan restaurants that will be of interest to a Vegan in Paris. Here in France the awning will say ‘vegetarian restaurant’ but they might serve fish because they are macrobiotic. I’m going to include those restaurants here, even though a fish is never going to be…

It’s open to everyone and entry is free so you can pop in when you like.  This event has a lot to offer for holiday-loving vegans, for example:…
