This is one of the most luxurious and moreish gourmet vegetarian burgers you are ever likely to eat in Paris. VG is not healthy, but their burgers are by no means the worst thing you can eat whilst running about town. Treat yourself! VG burgers really are a treat as they are dusted off with fresh ingredients and a selection of homemade condiments. The restaurant itself is not riddled with personality, but it’s a nice and clean place for you to tuck into your burger and dessert, if you have space for one! The burgers are very filling and the chip portions are huge!

Le Vegetarien is by no means groundbreaking, but it serves a range of traditional European vegetarian food that is really, very good. Soups, salads, quiches and more can be found on the daily specials board. The staff are helpful and chatty, but keep the service super speedy. Locals often come here for takeaway, meaning it gets very busy around lunch time, but it’s worth making the effort to go here because the meals are all extremely hearty and satisfying. In terms of ambiance, it’s what you would expect from a quick turn around food place, in the sense that it’s a little dated, but comfortable and clean.

Bob’s Juice Bar, the predominantly liquid-based sibling of Bob’s Kitchen, is situated just a two minute walk away from the Quai de Valmy. Though they exhibit a delightful range of foods such as bagels, soups and salads, their main act is their extraordinarily healthy and revitalizing selection of juices and smoothies. Pure and freshly made, there’s no additional ingredients to ruin to goodness of these juices, just pressed vegetables and fruit, as well as the odd natural addition. Like Bob’s Kitchen, the Juice Bar has Californian roots and decorates with bright but soothing colours, books and fresh ingredients in baskets. Gorgeous.

Tasty Tip: All of their juices are awesome, but their cold press pineapple carrot maca is a real winner.

The Joy in Food restaurant is bright and breezy, featuring a range of very homely vegetarian dishes for all to enjoy! Their menu is small but has a deliciously varied selection of soups, tarts, quiches, salads, sweet treats and even some organic wines for a more leisurely lunch. Joy in Food is the perfect place to take the weight off your feet and enjoy some great food after a stroll around the beautiful region of Batignolles, which is one of Paris’ most peaceful areas. The owner is completely charming and gives the whole place a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. The good food with great prices and lovely ambiance makes for a very relaxing way to spend lunch.

The clue really is in the name, because it feels like having a sit down in the kitchen of a friend.

Popular with the locals, the meals here are invigorating and super healthy, using feel-good ingredients that will most definitely improve your day. The dishes are amazing and great value, but the real trick is Bob’s gorgeous smoothies and juices.

This internationally popular chain of restaurants and hotels has made it’s mark with incredibly good vegetarian Indian fast food. Everything is freshly made daily and they have an enormous amount of choice on their menu. The restaurant is spacious but can get very busy around dinner, however no number of customers can ruin the open and friendly atmosphere of Saravanaa Bhavan. It’s also one of the few places in Paris that actually serves really spicy food, which is often a rarity. They have efficient and kind service, so it’s definitely worth a try in you’re craving a healthy Indian meal!

Tasty Tip: Some of the best Malasa Dosa in Paris!

Aquarius is a lovely red-fronted cafe that offers simple but fantastic vegetarian dishes. There’s a great ambience at Aquarius, combining the traditional style of the building with the quirky interior decor in addition to the friendly staff members. It’s got a homemade sort of charm to it, and the food is seriously underpriced considering the generous portion sizes! There’s plenty of choice for mains and desserts, all of which taste great and are relatively wholesome enough not to make you feel weighed down after you finish. In a rather understated part of Paris, Aquarius deserves plenty of attention for their brilliant dishes.

Krishna Bhavan is a great vegetarian Indian restaurant just five minutes walk away from Notre Dame. Considering how great the food is, it’s fairly underpriced! Enjoy a hugely flavoursome meal in a traditional Indian setting, decorated in lots of warm and welcoming tones. Though not as spicy as some would hope, it’s very varied menu ensures that everybody can have something that they will love. Served on very authentic metal trays typical of Southern India, you really get immersed into the ambiance of the place. Great for vegetarians, but can be a little tricky for vegans. Nevertheless, not a bland dish to be found.

Tasty Tip: Take their advice and start off with a dosa…preferably the mushroom dosa!

This vintage American style burger joint is exactly what you’d expect and more from the name East Side Burgers. Perhaps a little rough around the edges, it’s got a brilliant music scene and a wonderfully friendly community who always return to grab a delicious veggie burger. The staff are lovely, kind and quirky, filling the whole place with life and humour. What’s more, the food is amazingly good and very indulgent. Though very small and simple, their reputation precedes them as they have been featured in a number of high end magazines, music videos and internet tv shows.

Tasty Tip: Though it’s the only burger that doesn’t have a vegan alternative, the vegetarian Le Fromager will give you a gloriously cheesy meal.

This vegetarian restaurant is tiny, but completely bursting with character and personality. The whole experience is homemade, from the delicious and health conscious food to the customer service. Saying that, it’s by no means fast paced, so far more suitable for a lazy day strolling about Paris. They serve up simple vegetarian food, not particularly unique but very tasty nevertheless. Eating at Au Grain De Folie really is like going over to somebody’s house for dinner, giving the whole place a friendly and bohemian vibe.

The Maoz concept is simple, sweet and effective, to the extent that it’s made Maoz internationally popular. Choose from salad or sandwich, then pick your toppings and sides for a delicious vegetarian meal on the go. Both of the two branches in Paris are definitely takeaway, with perhaps one or two bar-like stools just in case. However the staff are friendly, the service is fast and the food is good. What more could you want when grabbing a quick veggie bite to eat when sightseeing? They also have a great range of super juices to keep you feeling revitalised and energetic throughout the day.

Serving up brilliant dishes from all over Southeast Asia, Tien Hiang have a real knack for creating faux meats and adapting them for every dish. They predominantly serve mixed skewers, ornate soups and gorgeous wok-cooked dishes, but also offer a range of traditional meals too, so there really is something for everyone. The head chef is also willing to make vegan versions of the dishes, just ask the staff. The restaurant is purposefully simple, but perfectly comfortable for you to enjoy your meal at leisure. Make the most of their generous portions by taking anything you can’t finish home afterwards!

Tasty Tip: Try their chicken and coconut milk soup, it’s beautiful and you can feel how good it is for you.
