  • Krishna-Bhavan Vegetarian Tamil Cuisine

    Although it is no London, there are plenty of Indian restaurants in Paris. My favorite has to be Krishna Bhavan, located in the Little Jaffna neighborhood between Gare du Nord and La Chapelle which is home to the city’s Tamil population. It is said that Tamils consider serving food as a service to humanity, and…

  • Blue Elephant

    Finding truly vegetarian Thai food is something of an art due to their beloved and ubiquitous nam pla fish sauce: I had never eaten Thai in Paris until a couple of nights ago when a tip-off led me to Blue Elephant down by Bastille. It didn’t work out… You certainly can’t accuse them of underdoing…

  • Vegan Morocco

    I just had a short vacation in Morocco, visiting Marrakesh and Essaouira, and I found it very accommodating for the vegan traveller. I even think eating raw here would be quite easy. I didn’t try though, as I wanted to satisfy my lifelong desire to eat couscous in Maroc… and satisfy it I did! I…

  • A Vegan’s Guide to Lebanese Restaurants in Paris

    A Vegan’s Guide to Lebanese Restaurants in Paris

    I have seen frustrated vegetarians online who wish that they could come to Paris and enjoy real Parisian food and not ethnic food. I think there is one ethnic food in particular which may not be French but which is very Parisian, and that is Lebanese. For over twenty years, after the fall of the…

  • Pousse-Pousse: Raw Restaurant in Paris

    After a year and a half in Paris, today I finally visited Pousse-Pousse and my bitter regret at not having gone there long ago is exceeded only by the intense joy I experienced while eating at this Raw oasis in the city. Pousse-Pousse is a small and elegant raw organic vegetarian restaurant. We arrived and…

  • Bob’s Juice Bar

    There are a number of juice bars in town, but unfortunately a lot of them try to get away with pouring you some pasteurized juice from a bottle. If I am going to hit the juice bar, I want them to really get the juice out of some real fruit for me, which is one…

  • Au Grain de Folie

    Au Grain de Folie is a little restaurant in Montmartre, not far from Sacré Coeur, that I have been wanting to check out so when my vegan friend and I found ourselves in that area one recent Tuesday night, possessed with ravenous hunger but with only 20 minutes to spare we decided to give it…

  • Vegan Paris on a Budget

    There are many things in Paris that are extremely good, tempting and expensive. Vegan food is no exception. It can be very hard to stick to a budget. Here are a few places I have found where you can enjoy the good life for less. Restaurants: (see restaurant list for details) One of the best…

  • 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…

  • 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…
