Vegan and vegetarian in Paris: a guide to declarations

Yes, an app born to find kosher places also talks about vegan food. No, it is not a betrayal: Keila covers kosher, vegan and vegetarian, with the same principle for all. We show who said what, when, and for which part of the menu. The Paris places shown here have a vegan or vegetarian declaration. Here is how they break down, and what each word really means.

“The whole venue” or “options”: the question that matters

Each declaration has a scope. The whole venue means entirely vegan or vegetarian cooking: you can order without hesitation, at least on that criterion. Options means a mixed menu with some suitable dishes: useful for a group lunch, less reassuring if you also avoid shared cooking equipment. Keila shows scope on every listing and never inflates it. A menu with one vegetarian burger is still a burger menu.

Entirely plant-based places

Land&Monkeys: plant-based bakeries

Land&Monkeys has several entirely vegan catalogue locations. Bakery food and lunch, with production the brand declares entirely plant-based. They run from the 1st to the 20th: Les Halles, Beaubourg, Turenne, Amsterdam, Grands Boulevards, Roquette, Beaumarchais, Pernety, Montmartre and Père Lachaise.

Other entirely plant-based tables

Independent places or small brands, offering very different cuisines as stated on their listings: Jah Jah, plant-based Afro-Caribbean, rue des Petites Écuries; Mori Café, plant-based Japanese, rue des Taillandiers; Bloom Sushi Marais, plant-based sushi, rue de Turenne; 42 Degrés, raw plant-based food, faubourg Poissonnière; and both Potager de Charlotte locations, plant-based cooking, in the 9th and 17th. Four appear in Keila’s “Paris, plant-based” guide.

Entirely vegetarian places

No meat or fish here, but dairy products or eggs may be on the menu: vegetarian is not vegan, and the listing does not confuse them. Both Maslow locations (quai de la Mégisserie and rue de Picardie) declare an entirely vegetarian menu. Tien Hiang, rue Bichat, describes vegetarian Asian cooking, and Sangeetha, rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis, vegetarian Indian cooking.

Options on a mixed menu

Cojean: the brand’s locations

Catalogue Cojean locations share the brand’s declaration. Its seasonal menu advertises vegan and vegetarian options and itself states that availability may vary on site. They are concentrated in the 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th.

Vegan options elsewhere

The three Osè locations (Saint-Lazare, Château d’Eau, Voltaire) offer customisable African cooking with vegan adaptations advertised by the brand. Le Pain Quotidien Victoires, rue des Petits Champs, declares at least one vegan dish on its menu.

Vegetarian options

Bioburger locations advertise vegetarian options among mainly meat-based burgers. Add FØ Pizza (rue Françoise Dolto), Aïko (Japanese, rue Torricelli) and Chez Hanna (Israeli and Moroccan, rue des Rosiers).

Vegan is not kosher (and neither is rue des Rosiers)

We say this clearly because confusion is common: a vegan or vegetarian declaration does not answer the kashrut question. Supervision, product origins and the kitchen itself fall under an organisation, not a meat-free menu. No place on this list is presented here as kosher. Two also have a kosher mention, handled separately: 42 Degrés carries a directory mention that we cannot link to a kosher directory, and Aïko is named in the official Beth Din de Paris directory as a meat restaurant. These are distinct from their vegetarian or vegan declarations, explained in our articles on the 9th and the 17th. And being on rue des Rosiers does not give Chez Hanna a kosher mention on its listing.

By arrondissement

The table counts only places in this selection still published in the catalogue. It does not represent every plant-based restaurant in Paris.

How to read this list

Each place shows its source (restaurant website, official menu, brand website) and check date. Every declaration is rechecked regularly: when marked suspended, it no longer counts as a yes in the app. Available menus are shown on listings with their source. And if a place changes its recipe, the “Report an error” button is there for that.

For kosher places, go here: where to eat kosher in Paris by arrondissement. The checking method is detailed on the method page, and vegan, vegetarian and kosher filters are in the Keila app, coming soon to the App Store.

Do you run a plant-based or vegetarian restaurant whose listing is missing or has the wrong scope? The restaurant owners’ area is there for that.
