• Amazing organic food

Le Bichat is one of my favorite restaurants in Paris. The family who owns the business made every effort to make organic, fresh food available to anybody, so here you won't find overpriced items or a fancy, snob attitude that's typical of many healthy restaurants. They offer a complete meal of the day (a simple bowl with rice, cooked and raw mixed vegetables) with a few variations (of which 2 are vegan and 1 with eggs), and all the food is prepared on the same day. To be a place that also serves meat, it's really vegan friendly: all the meat is prepared in an autoclave (imagine a pressure cooker that can hold about 60 2l jars), which means that vegan and meat preparations don't share the same kitchen: no risk of contamination, not even with the smell! And the restaurant itself will never smell like they're cooking meat there! In addition to their signature bowls, they also have homemade cakes (with vegan and gluten free options), fruit juices and homemade lemonade. There's no service at the table (you order and get food from the counter), but the staff is always friendly, and it seems overall like a great work environment. I wish they will at some point decide to turn it into a veg(etari)an restaurant, but it's already really good as it is.
