The 5 best vegetarian or organic restaurants in Paris

In just a few years the American Marc Grossmann, an organic food guru, has succeeded in revolutionising ‘healthy’ restaurant food in Paris. His juice bar, his two vegetarian canteens and his bakery are the hotspot for anyone who loves seeds and grains, vegetables and fruit juices that will energise you. The atmosphere of these laidback restaurants is cool and hip.

If you love what Mother Nature has to offer, then this is just the place for you. Wild & The Moon serves cold-­pressed juices and vegan bowls which you can eat in or you can take away one of their tiny boxes of superfoods (baobab, spirulina, guarana, maca...) for a home detox.

Angèle Ferreux-­Maeght is the undisputed queen of healthy nutrition in Paris. She has a charming take­-out shop, which transforms into a tearoom in the afternoon, where she sells cakes, tarts, gluten-­free cookies, vegan mousses and energy balls. The perfect place for a pick-­me-­up so you can continue to explore the city.

This organic canteen was one of the first in its kind in Paris. Tucked away in a tiny street, Soya was also one of the first organic eateries with a more modern, airy interior, combining industrial architecture with large wooden tables on which copious and appetizing dishes are served. The place has been popular since it opened, largely thanks to the delicious vegetarian couscous on the menu.

At Guenmaï organic is not just another flash marketing word but a real philosophy as you can tell by the large sign on the window: la santé par l’alimentation (achieving health through food). This place looks nothing like a doctor’s office. In fact you might even say there is something charming about the wicker chairs and the tiny terrace. The food is colourful and tasty.
