Be aware that much of France -- and this CERTAINLY includes Paris -- slows or completely shuts down (sometimes for weeks at a time) sometime during July or August. Many French get around 5 weeks of paid vacation a year, and this is when it usually gets taken. It's a time when it's a PARTICULARLY good idea to call ahead to check if places are actually open.

My sister notes that this is a very good vegan supermarket in the Paris area and they have 3 locations. Good selection on fruits and vegetables, and other items.

This Sears like store can be found all over the city and has a grocery store in the basement. They have all the vegan essentials if you have a place to heat things or ref. things. Soja yoghurt, pudding, patties, milk...and a few ready to grab and eat vegan meals in the deli area. Check it out. Fab organic vegan chocolate.

We just found this excellent Crepe restaurant mear Notre Dame. Plenty of vegetarian selections and they use either buckwheat or whole wheat flour. Reasonably priced and very friendly staff. Run by 3 brothers known as The Horse Man Team.

THE MOST AMAZING VEGETARIAN FOOD I EVER TASTED! We already miss the charming owner and her gorgeous dog Ulysees. The best veggie food ever! (Head to Montmatre - metro: Abbesses. It's at the end of the road to the left)

5th, 72 Rue du Cardinal-Lemoine. Metro: Cardinal-Lemoine. I ate here last night and had a fantastic meal. The food is very simple and tasty with the emphasis being on the flavours and textures rather than dressing it up. Like the kind of food you'd prepare in your own kitchen. The staff were very friendly. The waitress spoke English and the menu had English translations. The vegan chocolate cake was delicious! It's a small restaurant that got busy quickly. Arrive early if you want to eat without waiting.

Amsterdam, Holland, the Netherlands, the Dutch... Call it/them what you will; Maoz Falafels are all over the place, right in downtown Amsterdam!

[You Maoz Falafel lovers will LOVE it there,...when you get the munchies (mushrooms are, like, um, vegan, too, right???)!]

We enjoyed both of these restaurants. Satisfying, healthy choices. Comfortable, not too fancy surroundings. Pleasant servers.

I was very impressed with this fast food restaurant. The seating inside is limited to 6-8 small chairs but although each day i returned and found it busy i could still get a seat. The menu offers Small [£2.50/ 3large balls] or large Falafel [£3.50/ 5large balls] in pitta with as much free self service salad as you like, of which they have quite a selection! You also have the option of humous with your falafel for an extra £1. French fries are £1.50 [so great to have chips knowing they are not fried in with any animal product!]. Tins of drink are £1.50. If you do not fancy falafel, you can purchase the salad on it's own. Great cheap, central [right near Notre Dame Cathedral] place to eat. Highly recommended!

Au Grain de Folie has a rather intimidating decor in that it is only 5'x10' in size so once you enter it seems inappropriate to leave. For approx £13 [$26] I had a small and tasteless meal with half a bottle of wine. This was the cheapest meal and cheapest drink option. The serving area is immediately behind the selection of maybe fifteen chairs cramped around four tables and the owners dog sits with her as she prepares the food. Some may find this atmosphere 'homely. If you do not mind sharing a table with strangers, then it could be ok for you though it definitely wasn't to my taste.

A great little vegetarian restaurant! We had a lovely meal, the food was fab, lots of variety on the menu and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely go back. We took two friends who were non veggie and they enjoyed the food too. Make a reservation because there aren't many tables and it is very popular.

So great I've never looked farther. A stone's throw from the Centre Pompidou, I stumbled across it by accident and have subsequently dragged everyone I know there - and they keep going back as well. For an evening meal go early or make a reservation as it's quite popular. Summer dinner menu has gone up to 20 euro, but worth it. Staff speak English but also are happy to let you practice your French.

Great disappointment with this restaurant. Staff unfriendly and not helpful. Food was expensive for what you got, very bland and boring and probably the worst meal we have ever had! This restaurant gives vegetarians a bad name!

Posted by Guest on: Thursday, May 12, 2005 at 03:39 AM PST

This is another great veggie place we tried during our stay in Paris and it was delicious! We have to say hands down they were the best falafels we have ever had, and it is extremely great value for money - I could barely finish my hummus falafel. Another great thing with Maoz is that they let you put your own tasty salads into your pita with the falafels, so you can pack as much as you like in and their salads are creative and tasty. This is a great place if you want to grab a bite on the go as their seating is limited, definitely worth a visit for sure! (Charlie, New Zealand & Glenn, Dublin)

Posted by Guest on: Thursday, May 12, 2005 at 03:17 AM PST

This has to be by far one of the best vegetarian restaurants we have visited in our travels. The restaurant is informal (jeans and t-shirts welcome) with a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly (especially when your French is limited like ours) We had one of the special dishes of the day (aubergine/vegetable gratin with basmati rice and salad and an entree each). They boast a superb menu to suit everyone including fresh juices and lovely desserts. Everything looked healthy and our meals were delicious! La Victoire is a great place to go for lunch or dinner and it won't blow your budget (we found their prices excellent). Their food is how all good vegetarian cuisine should be and the menu is extremely varied - very hard to decide what to have as I wanted everything! La Victoire Supreme du Couer is a credit to the owners/operators and I will definitely return when I am back in Paris, 10 out of 10 from me! (Charlie, New Zealand & Glenn, Dublin)
