Whether you’re after a Valentine’s Day weekend of romance, a few days getting stuck into history, or you’re a budding fashionista, Paris has a lot to offer its many visitors. However, the city of love is not often associated with plant-based food, given the French reputation for meat and dairy-heavy cuisine. But, there are some restaurants in the capital that are aware not everyone wants to eat frogs legs or cheesy Croque Monsieur. Lucky for those looking to avoid meat and dairy – but still take in the sights and sounds of one the most famous cities in the world – Paris is also home to a selection of vegan eateries.
If history is your thing, Breathe Restaurant is located in a quaint 19th-century former teahouse. Its 100 percent plant-based menu – consisting of a variety of dishes, including gnocchi, coco flan, linguine, and Thai curry – is based on “passionate cooking” and all of its products are sourced as locally as possible. If you’re looking for something a little bit fancy, Breathe Restaurant could be just what you’re after.
