Where to Find Decadent Vegan Food in Paris
For the longest time, I had many expat friends who struggled to find vegan food in Paris. I would reach out and say, “Hey, I am coming to Paris, let's meet up for a meal,” and it was a nightmare trying to find someplace to go (Karin, I am looking at you…). But now. Now, when traveling to Paris as a vegan, you’re bound to wonder how to enjoy the Parisian gastronomic scene without compromising your diet or ethics.
And while the city is filled with establishments serving charcuterie boards and fromage, beef tartare, steak and fries, and heaps of seafood platters, Parisian eateries are more accommodating than you might think. There are many vegan restaurants in Paris, as well as shops and cafes that have popped up across town.

Whether you want a full sit-down dinner or a pastry to go, the Paris vegan restaurant scene has caught up in a big way, and this guide walks you through my favorites across the city.
No matter what time of day, you can savor plant-based cuisine in Paris!

Paris is a vegan-friendly city
Paris welcomes several million tourists a year, and people often think finding a plant-based restaurant will be a huge task. Furthermore, when they find it, the menu is limited and might cost a fortune. This is so far from the truth.
In reality, Paris is a haven for food enthusiasts, even if you’re a vegan. There are stores where you can sample vegan versions of most French food – croissants, plant-based cheese, macarons, traditional French cuisine, international plates, and even fast food. You will also find supermarkets, shops, and cafes that sell vegan products, so you can stock up on them in your fridge or pantry.

Tips for vegan dining in Paris
An important tip: in French, vegetarian is “végétarien” and vegan is “végétalien“.
When searching for vegan food in Paris, you don’t have to confine yourself to a restricted menu. Several restaurants and cafes are more welcoming to vegan food than you might think. It’s always a safe option to go to a completely vegan restaurant, but you can also look up a restaurant’s menu and recent reviews online to check if they have vegan options.
Alternatively, don’t hesitate to ask the staff before sitting down whether they serve vegan food or can accommodate your requirements.

For all you coffee lovers, you can’t go wrong with a simple espresso. Even though multiple specialty coffee shops are dotting the city, it can be a challenge to find milk alternatives like almond or soy milk in traditional brasseries and restaurants.
Another good idea is to check the HappyCow website to find vegan places in Paris. Whether you’re looking for a juice bar, an ice cream shop, a farmers market, a bakery, or a vegan health store, you can find plenty of vegan-friendly options.
Tips for vegan shopping in Paris
Just like eateries, you can also shop for vegan ingredients in Paris. There are several certifications and labels to look for when purchasing products. Look for the EVE Vegan logo, which is the most reliable on the market.
Be careful, as there are many more logos that falsely declare a product vegan and are not officially recognized. You can get the whole list of false logos on Vegan-France.fr.
Another thing to remember is that sometimes companies use the same logo for both vegan and vegetarian products. Make sure you read what’s under the symbol to ensure a truly vegan product.
When it comes to beauty products and cosmetics, cruelty-free does not always mean the absence of ingredients of animal origin. It could simply mean that the product was not lab-tested on live animals and may contain animal fats or other animal-derived products.

How will I know if a Parisian restaurant serves vegan food?
Before choosing a restaurant, check their online menu and recent reviews to see if they serve vegan food. Restaurants in France also have a menu outside that you can refer to before sitting.
Words like ‘végétal’ or ‘sans gluten’ indicate that a dish is plant-based. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to ask the waiting staff whether they have vegan dishes or can provide vegan alternatives.
Organizations like EVE Vegan also provide restaurant certifications, so look for logos or symbols to identify a vegan restaurant.

Is Paris good for vegans?
Yes. Paris is one of the most vegan-friendly cities in Europe, with dozens of fully vegan restaurants and hundreds of spots offering plant-based options, from traditional French dishes to bakeries, burgers, and international cuisine.
What is the best vegan restaurant in Paris?
It depends on what you are craving. For gourmet French plates, try Le Potager de Charlotte; for plant-based takes on bistro classics like onion soup, try Le Potager du Marais; for burgers, go to Hank or Naked Burger; and for pastries, head to Land and Monkeys.
How do you say vegan in French?
Vegan is vegetalien and vegetarian is vegetarien. Look for the words “végétal” or “sans gluten” on menus, and watch for the EVE Vegan label, which is the most reliable certification in France.
Are there vegan restaurants near the Louvre and the Tuileries?
Yes. Maisie Cafe is a short walk from the Tuileries Garden, and both La Guinguette d’Angèle and Wild and the Moon are centrally located in the 1st arrondissement near the Louvre.
Can you get vegan French pastries and macarons in Paris?
Absolutely. Land and Monkeys is an all-vegan bakery; Boneshaker makes vegan donuts; and even Ladurée now offers vegan macarons.

Tips
- Flights
- Look for fares using sites like Skyscanner or Expedia.com.
- For France (Paris), coming from the West Coast, I typically fly Air France or United. From the East Coast, I typically fly Air France or Delta.
- If you travel frequently, consider investing in a Priority Pass for access to airport lounges. Not only will you have a spot to relax before your flight and charge your devices, but you can eat and drink for free (without paying crazy airport prices!)
- Accommodation
- I use Expedia.com, Booking.com, and Hotels.com to find lodging. Always check the reviews on TripAdvisor before booking!
- If you want to stay in a rental, look at VRBO and Plum Guide.
- Transportation
- For rental car agencies, try Rentalcars.com. When traveling in Europe, I use AutoEurope to make reservations. They find the best rates and let you compare car rental agencies. I typically book with Sixt.
- For transportation from CDG Airport to anywhere in Paris, consider pre-booking with Get Transfer. It is one way to be stress-free, and you can request an English-speaking driver.
- Tours + Atractions
- I book tours with companies like Viator and GetYourGuide. Both have a wide variety of activities for every travel style. Other companies to look at include Tours by Locals and Withlocals.
- If you’re visiting a city with multiple attractions, be sure to check out a discount pass, such as CityPASS or Go City.
- Context Travel is another option, and they offer more education-based activities.
- If you are looking to buy tickets to attractions, check out Tiquet.
- Don't Forget Travel Photos
- One of my favorite things to do is to get photos taken of me while on vacation. Flytographer is a great option with photographers all over the world.
- Peace of Mind
- It’s important to have some type of travel insurance to cover any unforeseen accidents, illnesses, threats, or cancellations. I always travel with insurance and would recommend SafetyWing, SquareMouth, or Travelex Insurance as good options.
- Should you have any trouble with flight delays to the extent that you feel you deserve compensation, I encourage you to check out AirHelp. I used them, and for 1 claim I got compensated (transparency: a 2nd claim did not, but I was still glad I tried!).
- Planning
- Check out Le Shop for my digital travel planners and Paris planner!
