This typical neighborhood bistro located on a quiet street south of rue des Abbesses always has one vegetarian main course and often several veggie starters. The establishment prides itself on the quality of their ingredients and goes by the motto of “a farmer on your plate,” for vegetarians that means flavorful seasonal vegetables topping their yummy spelt risotto. They also have a generous brunch every Sunday with a veggie option. The evening ambiance is perfect for dates 🙂
This relatively new restaurant is found down the street from Ma Biche and has a similar Parisian bistro feel, however, you can expect a much different menu here, featuring inventive fusion cuisine. Inspired by spices and specialities from the four corners of the globe, the weekly changing menu lists the likes of ricotta cream with avocado salsa with a poached egg or dahl with roasted sweet potato and eggplant. They have an amazing value lunch menu at 12.50 starter/main course with a reduced menu of two choices (always with a veggie option). In the evening the menu is also limited to focus on exceptional seasonal ingredients. The two course dinner menu is 27 euros and three courses is 35 euros. They also have happy hour from 5-7pm.
Flanking the southern edge of Montmartre in Place Pigalle, this large and lively venue attracts both young and old, locals and tourists with their great value French classic fare. Since opening in autumn 2017 the restaurant has made an effort to always have one vegetarian main course, this is not always the most creative, but is a “dish” and not a plate of steamed vegetables. My favorite was last spring’s asparagus risotto (I hope they bring it back!), but the current spinach mac and cheese isn’t too shabby. On the starter front, over half are vegetarian or vegan. Come at 7pm on the dot or expect a wait, but that’s part of the fun!
A 10-15 minute walk will also take you to a few of the best vegan restaurants in Paris. On the north side of the hill is L’Abattoir Vegetal (more in our article on vegan and vegetarian restaurants) and BrEAThe, is a new stylish venue down the hill in the SoPi area.
