The 9 best vegetarian restaurants in Paris

// 9 of 33 vetted Paris spots · updated September 2026

A grilled-vegetable plate bolted onto a steakhouse menu is not a vegetarian restaurant. These are the Paris kitchens where the meat-free cooking is the reason to go — Regional, Cambodian and French Bistro among them: 9 spots, 6 of them fully vegan, pulled from the 33 we have vetted in the city. Chosen the way locals choose, never through a marketing budget.

Chez Ernest
Organic
Chez Ernest is a solidarity restaurant on Impasse de Joinville in north-east Paris, where the meal you buy helps pay for someone else's. The association behind it turns restaurant revenue into food aid: diners can add a small voluntary contribution to a dish or to the bill, and the proceeds fund food baskets and cooked meals distributed through Paris social centres. The cooking itself is seasonal and built on organic, locally grown vegetables, with vegetarian plates a standing part of the menu and mains around €18. Three independent local sources name it a neighbourhood favourite — an endorsement earned by the food, mission aside.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.

Cambodian
Le Cambodge
Le Cambodge is a family-run Cambodian restaurant near Canal Saint-Martin, cooking the bobuns and lok lak that made its name. The kitchen describes itself as a historic family address and keeps to traditional Cambodian cooking — bobuns, beef lok lak and Cambodian dumplings are the dishes it puts forward first — served in a room it calls elegant and refined rather than canteen-plain. A terrace catches the sun by the canal. Local sources single it out as a neighbourhood favourite, which counts for more than novelty in a quarter with no shortage of places to eat.
Reservations: Book online — the restaurant takes reservations through its website.

Cambodian
Mam'Ayoka Pajol
VeganGluten-freeLactose-freeHalal
Mam'Ayoka Pajol has fed the Esplanade Nathalie Sarraute in the 18th since 2016, a small independent kitchen with an unusually broad dietary range. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and halal options are all recorded here, which is rare enough in one address that it solves the standing problem of finding somewhere a mixed group can all order from. Tables spill onto the esplanade when the weather is good, mains run around €18, and food can be taken away. A local food blog has named it a neighbourhood favourite. The setting is the open, rebuilt stretch of the 18th, and the room fills with people who live and work nearby.
Terrace: There is outdoor seating for warmer days.

French Bistro
Jovia
VeganGluten-free
Jovia is a teahouse on rue Bourdaloue in the 9th, where the tea carries as much weight as what comes out of the kitchen. The food stays light, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options recorded across the menu and plates around €10, so it works as easily for a full stop as for a cup and something small. There is a terrace on the street for the warm months, and orders can be taken away. A local food blog picked it out as a neighbourhood favourite. For a vegetarian-friendly teahouse in central Paris, it is an unfussy address in a quiet corner of the arrondissement.

Regional
Sol Semilla
VeganGluten-freeOrganic
Sol Semilla opened on rue des Vinaigriers in 2007 as Paris's first plant-based restaurant built around superfoods, and it still works that way. Everything is vegan and gluten-free: vegetable platters, grains and pulses, raw vegetables and plant-based sauces, with spirulina, maca, açaí and carob folded into dishes, drinks and house desserts rather than sold as an add-on. The produce is organic and seasonal. The address sits in the 10th between République and Gare de l'Est, a few streets from Canal Saint-Martin, and mains run around €18. A local food blog counts it a neighbourhood favourite, and the restaurant has been written up well beyond Paris.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.

Pizza
Pizza Julia
Vegan
Pizza Julia is a Paris pizzeria that treats its vegetarian and vegan pizzas as menu regulars rather than the one obligatory option. Two independent local sources name it a neighbourhood favourite, which in a city with no shortage of pizzerias is the endorsement that counts. Mains come in around €16. Beyond that the record is deliberately thin here: this is a small independent kitchen rather than a chain outpost, and what it is known for locally is the pizza itself.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.

Vietnamese
Pho 144
Vegan
Pho 144 does what its name promises at 144 Avenue Jean Jaurès — Vietnamese cooking led by the soup it is named after, at everyday prices. Mains sit around €10, and vegetarian and vegan versions are recorded on the menu, so the broth-based staples stay open to everyone at the table. The address puts it on the long stretch of Jean Jaurès in the 19th, a working part of the city rather than a destination one, which is usually where the bowls are best value. Two independent local sources list it as a neighbourhood favourite.
Reservations: Book online — the restaurant takes reservations through its website.

Asian
Tien Hiang
Tien Hiang is an entirely vegetarian Southeast Asian restaurant on rue Bichat, drawing on the Buddhist temple cooking that shaped it. Founded in the 1990s and now run by the second generation, the kitchen rebuilds the popular classics of Southeast Asia using rehydrated soy protein in place of meat — the temple-cuisine approach rather than a recent substitution trend. Nothing on the menu contains meat. The address is in the 10th near Canal Saint-Martin, mains sit around €18, and food is either eaten in the room or packed to take away; the house takes no reservations. Three independent local sources name it a neighbourhood favourite.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.

African
Jah Jah by Le Tricycle
VeganGluten-free
Jah Jah by Le Tricycle is a plant-forward African kitchen in Paris, where the vegetarian dishes are the point rather than the concession. The menu is African in root and built around vegetarian and vegan plates, with gluten-free options recorded too, so a mixed table can order without anyone negotiating around the card. Mains land around €10, which puts a full lunch here inside everyday money, and the kitchen packs for takeaway as readily as it plates for the room. Two independent local sources name it a neighbourhood favourite — the sort of endorsement that follows places people eat at on ordinary weekdays.
Dietary: Vegetarian options are on the menu.
