Can anyone suggest a good vegetarian restraunt in Paris?

Question

Preferably in the '1' postcode area (around Rue De Rivoli).

I know they don't understand vegetarianism, but there must be some veggie restraunts.

Answer 1

When I was in Paris, I ate at a small restaurant called Chez Omar in the 3me arrondisement on the rue de Bretagne in the Marais. (So not too far from the Rue de Rivoli, definitely a short metro ride)  It was wonderful! Although not specifically vegetarian, the specialty is couscous and there are vegetarian options.  Your best bet may be to just look for vegetarian options on the menus!  Good luck and enjoy Paris, my favorite city! :-D

Answer 2

Actually, no there aren't really - as pointed out in the last but one Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, it doesn't make sense to open a veggie restaurant in a city where the vegetarian population is below 2% of the total......

Answer 3

Yes, there are a lot:

They are listed by arrondissement. I only know Le Grenier de Notre Dame mentioned above and found it good.

Indian restaurants always have vegetarian dishes.

Answer 4

There is one that I know of in the 1st Arr. called La victoire Supreme du Coeur, 41 Rue de la Bourdonnais. I've never eaten there - my guide says it's on a traffic-free street near Les Halles, is pretty good particularly for Vegans.

When I visited with my vegetarian niece, our favourite was Le Grenier de Notre Dame, in the Rue de La Boucherie, 5th Arr. All the food was delicious, the service was sweet and we sat at nice painted tables outside.

We also enjoyed a lovely vegetable tempura at a Japanese restuarant in the 1st, called Isse in the Rue de RIchlieu.

There is actually a number of veggie restaurants in Paris, but to be honest, we found it better to eat in Moroccan/Japanese/Italian restaurants. The only place you might struggle to find anything is in a traditional bistro - everywhere else, you will find options.

Answer 5

In my experience, what you're gonna get is omelette and a puzzled expression!
