9 vegan restaurants & cafes to try in Paris

When you think of Parisian cuisine, you probably picture something along the lines of baguettes, escargot, & cheese. As someone who is vegan, I thought my options would be somewhat limited there but BOY was I wrong. Not only did Paris have an abundance of fully vegan restaurants and bakeries, but it actually has several of my favorite vegan restaurants of all time. I have now been to Paris four times and tried many vegan places, but the ones listed below are my absolute favorites.

Le Potager de Charlotte

@hrbrowngoes

This restaurant features a chic interior and fantastic food. There are two different locations that feature the same menu. It has general European-style cuisine, and most dishes are also gluten free.

Urban Greener

@hrbrowngoes

I have gone out of my way several times to eat here for weekend brunch because the food is so phenomenal. The first time I went, the owner sat with me and we chatted for the better part of my meal- needless to say, she is extremely kind. From what I recall, she moved to Paris from the south of France to open the restaurant just before the pandemic began because there is a larger market for vegan food there. I believe it is open only for dinner on weekdays, so check the hours before planning a meal here.

BUDDY BUDDY 🥜 Nut Butter Coffee Shop

@hrbrowngoes

This minimalistic Belgian cafe sells homemade nut butters along with its coffee. It has several nut-based pastries as well, so this of course would not be the cafe to visit if you or someone in your travel party has a nut allergy.

Land&Monkeys Turenne

@hrbrowngoes

This bakery is entirely vegan and has some of the best pastries my friends and I have ever had (vegan or not). Aside from traditional French pastries, it also has vegan sandwiches, quiches, and more. It has several locations around the city.

Boneshaker Donuts

@hrbrowngoes

It’s hard to go wrong with handmade doughnuts baked fresh daily. My personal favorite item from here is the Matcha Beignet, which reminded me of a matcha cronut.

@hrbrowngoes

This is a cool Japanese restaurant with a changing menu. It has a sushi bar, street food, amazing desserts, and great cocktails. The interior is bright and is walking distance from main tourist attractions such as the Louvre.

viet food vegan

@hrbrowngoes

If you love Vietnamese food like I do, then this restaurant should be on your list of restaurants to visit. It is a bit tricky to find and a little unseemly from the outside, but the food is some of the best I’ve ever had.
