The 25 Best Vegan Places in Paris: Restaurants, Bakeries, & Cafés

Paris, and France as a whole, often gets a notorious bad rep for not having many vegan places in Paris – but as someone who has been vegan for almost a decade and has been in Paris for several years now, I can tell you that it’s far from the truth.

Aujourd'hui Demain; July 2025

With nearly 50 fully vegan places to eat in Paris according to HappyCow, rest assured – you’ll never go hungry on a plant-based diet while in Paris, and the options to choose are endless.

After having lived in Paris for several years, I’m going to share my curated list of my absolute favorite vegan places in Paris – from restaurants, causal eateries, bakeries, coffee shops, and more.

Is Paris Vegan Friendly?

While there are lots of vegan places in Paris these days, as a whole – Paris and France are not vegan friendly places. The average French restaurant usually has little to no vegan options, as much of traditional French cuisine is made with very rich ingredients such as cheese, butter, and milk.

What Can I Eat Vegan at a French Restaurant in Paris?

If you’re at a traditional brasserie in Paris, your choices for vegan food will be limited, but not impossible – you can order a salade verte (plain green salad), ratatouille (tomatoes, eggplant, and zucchini in tomato sauce), or classic french fries which are almost always fried in sunflower oil.

Before we dive into my curated list of the best vegan places in Paris, below is a quick recap of some French words to know if you’re going to be traveling as a vegan in Paris:

🌿🇫🇷 Vegan French Basics — Quick Cards 🥖

🧈BEURRE
Butter. If you need to avoid it, say “sans beurre, s’il vous plaît.” Croissants, pastries, and many sauces contain butter.
🥚ŒUFS / D’ŒUFS
Eggs. Ask for “sans œufs” if you need egg-free. May appear in brioche, mayo, aioli, pastries.
🥛LAIT / PRODUITS LAITIERS
Milk / dairy. Say “sans lait / sans produits laitiers.” Many cafés also understand “lait végétal.”
🚫🍖PAS DE VIANDE
No meat. Note: in France, “pas de viande” doesn’t always include fish. Add “ni poisson, ni fruits de mer” to exclude fish & seafood.
🌱VÉGÉTARIEN vs VÉGÉTALIEN / VÉGAN
Végétarien = no meat/fish (dairy/eggs often OK).
Végétalien / végan = no animal products at all.
🪴100% VÉGÉTAL / À BASE DE PLANTES
Usually plant-based ingredients. Still scan for honey (miel) or “may contain traces” allergy notes (not ingredients).
🚫🥛SANS LACTOSE ≠ VEGAN
“Sans lactose” can still be dairy (lactose-free cow’s milk). Ask for lait végétal instead if you’re vegan.
🥖BAGUETTE ✅ vs CROISSANT ❌
A baguette is typically flour-water-salt-yeast (often vegan). Croissants and most viennoiseries contain butter/eggs. Fruit sorbets are often a safe dessert bet.
🥤LAITS VÉGÉTAUX
Soja = soy, avoine = oat, amande = almond. Ask: “Un café avec lait de soja/avoine/amande, s’il vous plaît.”

25 Best Vegan Places in Paris (According To a Local)

 

Absolute Must-Try Vegan Places in Paris

 I’m not one to eat out often, meaning that when I do – it’s a treat.

 For special occasions like my birthday or a new job offer – these are my top 5 favorite vegan places to eat at in Paris.

1.     Aujourd’hui Demain

 Situation in the 11th near Chemin Vert, Aujourd’hui Demain perfectly blends coffee shop vibes with delicious vegan dishes.

Often accommodating their menu for seasonal ingredients, my favorite things about Aujourd’hui Demain include how they offer big portion sizes for a reasonable price, American-style sweet coffee drinks, and offer an amazing vegan-concept store within the restaurant.

Not to mention, their desserts are almost always a hit too – all of the cakes are delicious. This is one of those vegan places in Paris you can never go wrong.

Address: 42 Rue du Chemin Vert, 75011 Paris

Price:

Pro-tip: If you plan to come for their brunch (which is amazing), try to come as early as possible or call for a reservation – as it’s always packed on weekends.

 

2.     The Friendly Kitchen

 Another never-fails-to-impress-me vegan place in Paris is The Friendly Kitchen.

Also located in the 11th arrondissement, The Friendly Kitchen beautifully blends exquisite dining, seasonal ingredients, and a cozy atmosphere – making it a wonderful place for a date night, whether it be solo or with your favorite person.

Address: 8 Rue Popincourt, 75011 Paris

Price: €€

Pro-tip: Personally, I love to come here in the autumn – as they offer delicious autumnal-flavored dishes and desserts that can be hard to find elsewhere in Paris.

3.     B.Better

Paris isn’t known for having the best Mexican or Latin cuisine – as French people often refer to “burritos” as “tacos”, and lack sufficient seasoning or spices to replicate an authentic taste.

Luckily, there’s an incredible vegan place in Paris that offers delicious, vegan Mexican-style dishes – B.Better.

Mushroom burger at B. better in Paris

Located in the charismatic St. Paul district of Paris, B. Better is one of my ultimate favorite places in Paris for a few reasons. For starters, the ambiance couldn’t be cuter – it’s your typical hole-in-the-wall place that you would never know exists if you didn’t already know to look for it.

Furthermore, B. Better has always kept the same staff – something that is rare with any restaurant or coffee shop in Paris. The waiters here couldn’t be nicer, always accommodate for English, and offer incredible food.

Address: 26 Rue Beautreillis, 75004 Paris

Price: €€

Pro-tip: Be sure to order the Portobello Mushroom Burger and their smashed potatoes – their in-house garlic mayo is incredible.  

4.     Bloom Sushi

If you’ve been a fan of my blog, you would know that I’m a sucker for vegan sushi – like Beyond Sushi in New York City.

In Paris, Asian cuisine is big – but finding vegan sushi can be a challenge. Luckily, Bloom Sushi is everything you can imagine – offering innovative sushi dishes and Asian-inspired tapas.

In addition to this, the atmosphere is charming – with its earth-toned terrace and cross bohemian and upscale atmosphere – it’s one of my favorite places to sit for a late summer dinner.

Address: 99 Rue Jouffroy d'Abbans, 75017 Paris

Price: €€

Pro-tip: Don’t miss out on their cauliflower tempura or lobster crunch roll – both are out of this world.


5.     Marcus Pizza Amore

One of the newer vegan places I have discovered in Paris, Marcus Pizza Amore is the perfect place to meet with friends – as they offer both vegan and non-vegan pizzas alike.

I have tried several vegan places, from Nice to Chicago – but this one is truly the best. It’s located in the 10th arrondissment in between Bastille and Belleville – it’s perfectly situated in one of the most youthful, vibey places to be in Paris.

Address: 4 Rue Bichat, 75010 Paris

Price: €€

Pro-tip: Don’t miss out on their cauliflower tempura or lobster crunch roll – both are out of this world.


Best Places for Causal Vegan Eats in Paris

1.     Maoz Falafel

While everyone in Paris always raves about L’as du Falafel in Le Marais (and it’s true, it is amazing) – what many people don’t realize is that Paris is filled the amazing falafel places.

One of the best ones is Maoz Falafel, which offers some of the best falafel I’ve had at cheap, student-friendly prices not far from the Latin Quarter.

Address: 36 Rue Saint-André des Arts, 75006 Paris

Pro-tip: Since there isn’t a lot of seating here, I recommend taking your falafel to the seine for the perfect Parisian-picnic!

2.     Cantine de Lotus

While this place isn’t entirely vegan, a lot of the menu offers vegan options – including bento boxes and their incredible vegan bao buns.

If you love Asian food and cute, cozy places – be sure to not miss this spot.

3.     La Cantine de Sam

One time when looking for a a place to eat near my office, I stumbled across this little gem – which offers incredible Mediterranean style bowls and dishes.

While it’s true that it’s hard to mess up Mediterranean food, La Cantine de Sam really is exceptional – with exceptionally delicious flavors and balanced meals that will fully satiate you during your Paris adventures.

Address: 50 Rue Catherine de la Rochefoucauld, 75009 Paris

Pro-tip: It’s best to visit during the summer months, as their terrace is much more comfortable than their indoor seating – despite its incredible charm!

 

4.     MOPA

Located in Sentier, one of the most vegan-densely populated areas in Paris – MOPA has a stunning and moody atmosphere perfect for catching up for dinner with friends.

Pro-tip: If available, be sure to not miss out on their cheesecake – as the daughter of a New Yorker, I was able to approve!

 

5.     Urban Greener

 Off to the side of the Sacre-Coeur, Urban Greener is an underrated brunch spot in Paris – offering incredible vegan bacon and tofu scramble.

However, you could also come for dinner – where all of their dishes are fresh and innovative.

Pro-tip: This place is best to visit on the earlier side of the day, as it can get crowded during dinner hours.


Best Vegan Bakeries, Pâtisseries, & Dessert Shops in Paris


1.     Land&Monkeys

Oh. my. god. I could never rave about Land&Monkeys enough.

Whether your gluten-free or vegan, you won’t be disappointed – every single person I take to Land&Monkeys, vegan or not, states its delicious.

Everything is not only affordable, but top quality – and after years of living here, I can tell you with honesty that I’ve never had a single bad sandwich, pastry, or meal from Land&Monkeys.

To top it off, their coffee is good too. There are several locations all over Paris – but my favorite is the one on 2 Rue de Turenne right near Places des Voges (link to best parks in Paris).

Address: Several locations all over Paris (favorite location at 2 Rue de Turenne, 75004 Paris near Places des Voges)

Price:

Pro-tip: My favorite things from Land&Monkeys include their pain au chocolat, chcolate brioche buns, l’origine (a chocolate cake), the monkey cookie, focaccia and their Mediterranean sandwich.

 

2.     VG Pâtisserie

A more upscale vegan bakery than Land&Monkeys, VG Patisserie offers exquisite vegan pastries and macarons. It’s on the pricier side, but it’s truly to die for delicious.

VG Pâtisserie

Address: 123 Bd Voltaire, 75011 Paris

Price: €€€

Pro-tip: Try to go early in the morning when everything is fresh, as this is a very small patisserie and often sells out of their best desserts quickly!

 

3.     Boneshaker Donuts

Owned and operated by an American living in Paris, Boneshaker Donuts is a hidden gem in the Sentier neighborhood in Paris – where they speak both English and French, and offer incredibly inventive donuts.

Furthermore, they have great coffee – perfect to pair with a fluffy donuts. Keep in mind the donuts are huge, so while prices could seem expensive on the surface – these donuts are often a two-serving dessert.

Address: 86 Rue d'Aboukir, 75002 Paris

Price:

Pro-tip: Beware that there is almost always a long line outside the door on weekends and that seating inside is sparse – I usually like to take my donut to the nearby Palais Royal (link to best parks).

 

4.     La Crêperie

While not a fully vegan place, this is an excellent crêpe place to go if you are vegan but the rest of your fellow travel campions aren’t – as the prices are fair and the location is central, making it perfect for tourists.

Not to mention, if you opt to sit in their semi-outdoor or outdoor seating – you’ll get to enjoy a commanding view of the Panthéon.

 Address: 12 Rue Soufflot, 75005 Paris

Price:

Pro-tip: Keep in mind that this place is highly catered to tourists, which means that wait times can be long and this restaurant is almost always full-to-the-brim with people looking for a place to eat crêpes in the city.

 

Best Vegan Coffee Shops & Cafés in Paris


1.     Le Bols de Antoine

Located in the underrated neighborhood of Belleville (link to best neighborhoods), Le Bols de Antoine is a coffee shop and café designed for locals in this artsy neighborhood of Paris – with sweeping views of the Eiffel tower and the rest of the city nearby.

Whether you’re in the mood for a small piece of carrot cake and a coffee or a full, hearty meal – this is one of the most local vegan places you could pick in Paris, as it’s far away from touristic attractions.

Address: 10 Rue des Envierges, 75020 Paris

Price:

Pro-tip: If you come on the weekend, it could be next to impossible to get a table – I really recommend coming in the first half of the day before Parisians wake up and scatter the city.

 

2.     Cloud Cakes

As one of the first vegan places in Paris to ever exist, Cloud Cakes has remained a favorite vegan place in Paris for its affordable small bites and on-the-sweeter-side coffee drinks – of which can often be a challenge to find in Paris.

Sometimes, the cupcakes themselves can be hit or miss depending on the flavor – but I love their coffee and their lunchtimes plates such as their grilled cheese or sloppy joe are not only affordable, but awesome.

Sloppy Joe and beetroot latte at Cloud Cakes

Address: Several locations all over Paris (favorite location at 6 Rue Mandar, 75002 Paris)

Price:

Pro-tip: This is one of the best places in Paris to do co-working: as it’s on a quiet and beautiful street, the WiFi is reliable, and the atmosphere is both cozy but functional to get computer work done.  

 

3.     Culture Crepes

Located in the lively Latin Quarter, this is one of the few places left in Paris with a separate vegan menu for crepes!

Address: 26 Rue Saint-André des Arts, 75006 Paris

Price:

Pro-tip: This is a truly “hole-in-the-wall” vegan place in Paris that you would never know of unless a local told you it was there. Be sure to explore the Latin Quarter while you’re here – maybe even opt to be a true Parisian and take your crepe to go while you walk!

 

Best Vegan Junk Food in Paris

 

1.     Green Farmer’s

This is hands down my absolute favorite vegan burger place in Paris. From Barbeque Bacon, smash-style burgers, and fish burgers – Green Farmer’s hits the nail on the head for a what a good vegan junk food place should be.

Ordering in from Green Farmer’s

Their fries and specialty house-made mayo, from truffle to rose sauce, all tie-the-knot and make this my go-to vegan burger place in Paris.

Address: 49 Bd de Clichy, 75009 Paris

Price: €€

Pro-tip: Ordering from Green Farmer’s on Uber Eats is my favorite way to enjoy their vegan burgers: at home, with a movie, cozy in bed and making a mess!

 

2.     Les Tontons Veg

Another excellent vegan burger place in Paris, Les Tontons Veg offers not only inventive burgers – but vegan chicken nuggets!

Whether you want your burger smashed, classic, or with more offbeat flavor profiles such as Asian or Latin inspired – Tontons Veg will be sure to not disappoint.

Address: 8 Rue de Paradis, 75010 Paris

Price: €€

Pro-tip: I love to do Hank Burger as either take away, or to bring it to the seine in the spring or summer months – the combination of people watching and pigging out is oddly satisfying.

 

3.     Burger Theory

One of the newer vegan burger places in Paris, having already made its debut as an option to eat at the popular music festival Rock en Seine – Burger Theory is surprisingly on par with my other favorite burger places!

Want to see some of these vegan places in my Paris in action? Check out my Paris vlog below!

Address: 11 Bd des Filles du Calvaire, 75003 Paris

Price: €€

Pro-tip: As the indoor seating is small, I really recommend opting to order in for this vegan place in Paris!


4.     Naked Burger

Another popular vegan burger place in Paris, Naked Burger hits the spot for when you want a basic, but tried-and-true vegan burger.

It can be a little on the pricier side for burgers, but if you opt for one of their formulas – it can be a vegan junk food day that satisfies your cravings to a tee!

Address: 45 Rue de Babylone, 75007 Paris

Price: €€

Pro-tip: They speak English here, so no worries if you can’t order in French – plus, their indoor seating is very cute with white-and-pink tables and walls!  

 

Best Vegan Fine Dining in Paris

 

1.     42 Degrés

Paris is known for high-end cuisine, and a place like 42 Degres certainly doesn’ts skimp on it for vegans. Utilizing seasonal ingredients to create beyond inventive dishes.

Just beware, this truly is a “high end” vegan dining experience in Paris – meaning it’s best to come dressed on the nicer side, as even the outside seating is adorned in white table cloths.

Address: 109 Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, 75009 Paris

Price: €€€

Pro-tip: This place is definitely the most expensive vegan place I have ever been to in Paris, so please don’t book a reservation here if you’re a budget traveler!

 

2.     Breathe Sushi

Another one of my favorite vegan sushi places in Paris, brEAThe sushi teeters between excellent and fine dining – with artisanal sushi rolls and creative cocktails in a more upscale setting.

Address: 3 Rue Mandar, 75002 Paris

Price: €€

Pro-tip: The sushi menu changes depending on the season, and while the rolls are more expensive – they are very filling. Also, even if the place is packed – don’t be fooled, you can absolutely take sushi from this place to go!

 

3.     Le Potager du Charlotte

A crowd favorite amongst both tourists and locals, Le Potager du Charlotte mixed approachable cuisine with ambitious ideas – offering unique, flavored dishes while still remaining casual enough for an after-work spot to meet friends.

I took my younger brother, also plant-based and very picky, to Le Potager du Charlotte – and he loved it!

Address: Two locations in Paris (favorite location at 21 Rue Rennequin, 75017 Paris)

Price: €€

Pro-tip: In Paris, you should usually make a reservation for dinner anywhere you go as its cultural and customary, especially on weekends – but I find at Le Potager du Charlotte, it’s important to make a reservation even on a weekday. We went on a Tuesday night, and the place was packed!

 

4.     Le Potager du Marais

I know that Le Potager du Marais is often a hit-or-miss vegan place in Paris amongst locals, but in my honest opnion after living here for years – this is the best place in Paris to come if you want vegan French food.

From French-style salads, seitan dishes, cheese platters, and chocolate mousse – Le Potager du Marais is the place to be. I have never ordered anything bad from here!

Address: 26 Rue Saint-Paul, 75004 Paris

Price: €€

Pro-tip: Don’t miss out on the vegan French onion soup or the chocolate mousse – both are decadent and to-die-for beyond belief!

 

Vegan Places to Avoid or Skip in Paris

It’s true that Paris has really scaled-up in the plant-based scene, but in the midst of the vegan explosion in the city – there are also a lot of average or even not good places that you should skip while in the city.

Here are the vegan places in Paris I would pass on that aren’t good or worth the hype:


Wild & the Moon

With several locations all over Paris, Wild & The Moon is a chain all over the city with special non-caffeinated lattes, smoothies, and general “health” food.

I used to come here several times with my ex-friend when we would meet near Opéra after work, but I found it vastly overrated. There are so many other better vegan places in Paris (cough, Land&Monkeys, cough) that simply don’t make trekking to a Wild & The Moon worth your time or money.


Judy’s Market

Known for its bright yellow awning, Judy’s Market is popular amongst locals given its close proximity to nearby universities and the gorgeous Jardin du Luxembourg.

Outside yellow awning at Judy’s Market in Paris; May 2022

While its convenient and cute on the outside, personally – I find both the coffee and food at Judy’s market to be overrated. It’s impressive that they make their own plant-based milk in house, but as a result – it often curdles in the coffee, especially iced-lattes, which ruins the very summery-vibe Judy’s Market already has.

It’s by no means bad, but I would rate it fair – and nothing more.

 

Love Juice Bar

As I live nearby this place and its one of the only co-working cafés with WiFi in the neighborhood – I was a frequent customer of Love Juice Bar during summer 2021. Having ordered practically everything off of the menu at least once, from their coffee, smoothie bowls, drinks, and toasts – it’s perfectly fine, but severely overpriced for what it is.

If you’re looking for a good cup of coffee, I strongly suggest skipping Love Juice Bar and going next door to the Bleu Olive – a true local coffee shop with even better vegan food options.
