I was sad to hear the news that vegan restaurant La Victoire Suprême du Cœur has ceased to be and has been replaced by the new, omnivorous “Le Passage Obligé.” The arrival of a vegetarian restaurant just two doors down from our apartment on Rue du Bourg-Tibourg always seemed like a bit of a miracle, [...]

French Hemp: Veganize It!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 4ème, Groceries, Organic, Raw, Recipe on April 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
For those who don’t believe that vegans can possibly be getting enough protein, one easy answer is hemp, which is 33% protein. Add to that the essential fatty acids and vitamin E and you have a very important food. Hemp seeds are nice eaten by the spoonful, generously sprinkled on salads, added to smoothies or [...]
Vegan Lies in Paris

If you’re a vegan you might recognize this routine. You ask if something is vegan. You ask another guy at the store if it’s vegan. You go away and you come back another day and you double check. You maybe even get invited into the kitchen. You discuss eggs. You discuss milk. You bring up [...]

La Victoire Suprême du Coeur has gone vegan! This is a big deal for Paris… now we have two vegan restaurants! You used to have to request vegan versions of their dishes, but they have recently had an image makeover, new decor and a whole new menu that they call vege chic. The new menu is [...]

After reading quite a few out of date and incomplete lists of vegetarian restaurants in Paris, I thought I would try and create one myself. Here it is! Here in France the awning will say ‘vegetarian restaurant’ but they might serve fish because they are macrobiotic. I’m going to include those restaurants here, even though [...]

The Noël en Bio Christmas organic food expo is right around the corner (Fri, Sat and Sun, Dec 12,13,14) at Espace d’Animation Blancs Manteaux in the 4ème. It’s open to everyone and entry is free so you can pop in when you like. This event has a lot to offer for holiday-loving vegans, for example: [...]
Le Pain Quotidien

I had a nice salad for lunch today at Le Pain Quotidien in the 4th. There are lots of salads in Paris, which is great: nothing wrong with that. They’re green and one of the best things you can eat, alive with wonderful chlorophyll. This charming Belgian café chain has locations all over the world, [...]
Le Grenier de Notre-Dame

What do the oldest and newest vegetarian restaurants in Paris have in common? Answer: They are both “Le Grenier de Notre-Dame” because the venerable left-bank restaurant has just opened up a second location on Rue des Deux-Ponts on the Île St. Louis. I haven’t had a chance to check out the new place yet but [...]
Cheezly

There is no shortage of cheese in Paris, but there is a definite lack of vegan cheese alternatives. Of course there’s always “nature’s cheese,” the mighty avocado, but there are times when you want something a bit more “bitey.” For those times, I recommend Cheezly. It’s not French style, but rather English style. It’s for [...]
