Your guide to the best vegetarian restaurants in Paris!

“Plant based cuisine made from fresh, local, seasonal and organic produce” that’s exactly how you’d describe the food at Le Potager de Charlotte (External link) . Most of the food on the menu is gluten free, and has little or no added salt, sugar, or oil. But don’t worry, the food is far from being bland. The use of fresh and seasonal ingredients, sauces infused with bold flavours and the addition of various nuts and seeds give the dishes varied textures and an exceptional taste. This vegan restaurant in Paris offers some creative combinations like chickpea and rice pancake with cashew cream, the millet and green asparagus curry with button mushrooms or the chestnut soy yogurt with caramelised pecans. The two brothers, David and Adrien, have been vegan for several years. They are also super attentive, making sure that their customers are having the best dining experience.
