A vegetarian in Paris

Cartoon from: www.happycow.net

Because I like to make life complicated for myself, I’m a non-fish eating vegetarian and I live in Paris. As you’d expect, getting a good meal here is not very straightforward.

For me, French cuisine is a bit, “meh”, because actually, there’s nothing I can eat. French pudding, yes, bring on as much of that as you can, but raw cow? I’ll pass on that, thanks anyway.

The dedicated vegetarian restaurants in Paris that I’ve visited I’ve really not enjoyed at all. I’ve found the food really old fashioned with a kind of tie die dreadlock vibe that feels oh so 1994. Nothing like the excellent Mildreds (www.mildreds.co.uk) in London, where even my dedicated carnivore of a brother will happily go.

However, after two and a half years of living in Paris, I’ve found a few places I can rely on for a delicious, veggie friendly meal. And seeing as they also serve meat, I don’t have to go alone!
