Paris is notorious for being a city of indulgences. From desserts to designer clothing, the French capital offers the finer things in life. But as everyone knows, too much of something can be a bad thing. And it applies to food as it does to everything else. Make no mistake:
haute cuisine isn't bad for you. But it does have a lot of meat to it. If you want to go healthier with what you eat, why not go full vegan? Restaurants like Wild & the Moon, Soya, Mesa, and Rose Bakery will still satisfy if you do!
Wild & the Moon
From what started out as a run-of-the-mill cafe that offers healthy coffee and tasty smoothies, Wild & the Moon eventually became one of the hippest healthy hangouts in Paris. Their latest restaurant on Saint-Honoré is a particular favorite among the foodies. Beyond the organic beverages that Wild & The Moon is known for, you can get all kinds of vegan treats here. Think veggies bowls filled with chickpeas, sweet potatoes, and marinated mushrooms. Or granola bars that provide the perfect crunch for an early morning brunch. All these and more are on offer here at the Wild & The Moon!

Mesa
Serving as the in-house restaurant of the prominent
Hoy Hotel in Paris, Mesa is a vegan bar-restaurant you won't want to miss! For one thing, their Latin American menu is to die for! You can start with some savory Loaded Mushroom Focaccia for breakfast to get your taste buds spinning so early in the day. Later, the salad of the day can refresh your palate unlike any other. And come dinnertime, some vegan tacos would make for a great end to your day. Oh! And don't forget dessert! Fermented cashew yogurt with fresh fruits, anyone?

Soya
Located on Rue de la Pierre Levée in the
11th arrondissement of Paris, Soya is a vegan canteen you won't want to miss! What they serve here is simply delightful, each healthier than the next! If you're up for some Middle Eastern flavors, try their hummus with dukkah. It's an exceptional starter that will whet your appetite unlike any other. Some Thai salad with sweet & sour sauce is just what the doctor ordered if you were craving some Asian cuisine. It's a perfect contrast to the French and European dishes Paris often offers. And for dessert, a chocolate hazelnut cookie is as sweet as sin! But healthy as can be too!

Jah Jah by Le Tricycle
Still craving some exotic vegan dishes, then look no further than Jah Jah by Le Tricycle, the first Afro-vegan that’s located on Rue des Petites Écuries.

La Guinguette d’Angèle
Truthfully speaking, La Guinguette d’Angèle isn't 100% vegan. They also serve some vegetarian dishes for those who haven't gone full-vegan. But regardless of that, all of what they offer remain as healthy and as organic as ever! They're not one of the finest vegan restaurants in Paris for nothing! Some Gazpacho cucumber mint soup is the perfect way to start your meal—warm, fresh, and oh so fulfilling. Then a plateful of roasted vegetables will have your vegan heart racing faster, feeling more and more satisfied after every bite. And to top it all off, some detoxifying juice will help you wash all that food away!

Le Daily Syrien Veggie
Located on Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis in the
10th arrondissement of Paris, Le Daily Syrien Veggie is a definite must-try for Parisian vegans. Ironically, the restaurant is housed in a former butcher shop, but you won't see any traces of meat or dead animal in this hotspot! Instead, you'll get treated to an organic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern feast fit for a king. You can enjoy as much falafel and hummus as you want, you'll practically be sick of the stuff before the meal is through! And the lentil dishes? Absolutely delicious! What's not to love?

Rose Bakery
And finally, there's Rose Bakery. It's a vegan and largely
gluten-free bakeshop you'll want to try. It's located in the
Pigalle district, tucked away in historic Rue des Martyrs. If anyone ever told you that eating healthy never tastes good, bring them here! This place serves up some of the sweetest and most scrumptious treats you'll find in Paris. And known the city's love for desserts, the fact that these are all vegan says a lot! From cakes and pastries and everything in between, Rose Bakery is a vegan sweet tooth's paradise.
