Vegan and vegetarian Paris – Where to eat out?

Paris is not L.A. or Berlin. While at most places in the world it’s not a big deal to find a vegetarian or vegan restaurant – or just interesting veggie options in regular places – it’s not exactly like that in Paris. In Paris, restaurants with vegetarian options are still rare. If you just enter a random french restaurant, it’s likely that you won’t find anything on the menu that qualifies for vegetarian, yet alone vegan. You often can still order a salad, fries and with some luck a Ratatouille, but don’t expect anything fancy or exciting. You have better chances if you opt in for Indian, Lebanese or Asian cuisine but as you visit France, something coming closer to french cuisine would probably be nice 🙂

However, things are moving. We’re still years away from just stepping in the first restaurant that comes our way and find a proper choice of dishes suitable for veggies, but we’re getting there. The amount of vegetarian restaurants in Paris is rising and not only that: they are keeping up with the traditional french cuisine.

Eating vegan in Paris becomes easier. There are quite a few vegan restaurants now, you have Gluten free and raw options and some are offering as well a classic Sunday brunch. However, you need to prepare your vegetarian Paris vacation a little. To make it easier for you, we assembled a list of great vegetarian, vegan and gluten free restaurants in Paris – plan ahead and reserve your table in advance; those places are easily booked out!
