Vegan Paris

Vegan living in Paris (and other fun places)

  • 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…

  • Noël en Bio

    The Noël en Bio Christmas organic food expo is right around the corner (Fri, Sat and Sun, Dec 12,13,14) at Espace d’Animation Blancs Manteaux in the 4ème. 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:…

  • Le Pain Quotidien

    I had a nice salad for lunch today at Le Pain Quotidien in the 4th. There are lots of salads in Paris, which is great: nothing wrong with that. They’re green and one of the best things you can eat, alive with wonderful chlorophyll. This charming Belgian café chain has locations all over the world,…

  • Sunday Recipe: Spirulina Holiday Balls

    Spirulina is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. You can find this blue-green algae at natural food stores or from the Totum stand at the Raspail market. I like to add a little in wherever I can: sprinkle it on popcorn or salads, add it to smoothies and it always goes great…

  • Perl’Amande Nut Butters

    Nuts play a major part in most vegan diets, and one of the most flexible ways to get your nuts is through nut butters like almond butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter and sesame seed tahini. I love to make them into creamy sauces, add them to smoothies or whip up sweet treats. In France there…

  • Rose Bakery

    There are a plenty of vegetarian restos in town, but there also are so many other places that are really nice beautiful, charming, fun or interesting where a vegan can still find something on the menu. Like, for example, the Rose Bakery which is not a vegan bakery but has a lot of my favorite…

  • Le Grenier de Notre-Dame

    What do the oldest and newest vegetarian restaurants in Paris have in common? Answer: They are both “Le Grenier de Notre-Dame” because the venerable left-bank restaurant has just opened up a second location on Rue des Deux-Ponts on the Île St. Louis. I haven’t had a chance to check out the new place yet but…

  • Cheezly

    There is no shortage of cheese in Paris, but there is a definite lack of vegan cheese alternatives. Of course there’s always “nature’s cheese,” the mighty avocado, but there are times when you want something a bit more “bitey.” For those times, I recommend Cheezly. It’s not French style, but rather English style. It’s for…

  • Sunday Recipe: Mâche Salad

    I’ll tell you one of the things I miss most since we moved here: kale. But on the plus side I am really getting into mâche. Let me tell you about mâche, also known as “lamb’s lettuce”: It’s been cultivated since the 17th century here in France’s Loire valley. It is in season from Mid-August through December,…

  • Vegan Organic at FranPrix

      A lot of Vegans like to eat organic and I am one of them. There are lots of Naturalia shops around town but they are not everywhere and they are closed on Sundays and you don’t always have time to make it to the market. Fortunately, the FranPrix chain of convenience stores seems to…
