Paris

A few decades ago, France (and Paris in particular) may not have been considered by many as the most vegan-friendly nation. Luckily, the capital of France is undergoing a miraculous transformation! When we first visited Paris in 2016 as a vegan, it was difficult to locate plant-based food. But now, that has improved tremendously over the last six years. From Hank's vegetarian burgers to Cafe Ginger's vegan meals, Paris is becoming increasingly plant-based!

There are tons of options to choose from. You may enjoy some brunches at Le Jardin de Carolina, where they allow you to order a multi-course brunch buffet with delectable specialties such as a garbanzo and rice pancakes with cashew cream. It is also possible to enjoy 'hard-boiled egg' style avocado, and pancakes with hazelnut spread for special occasions!

For those who like French pastries, we suggest you visit VG Bakery, a typical French pastry business that is entirely vegan (they also deliver some gluten-free options). In fact, it is the number of vegan and vegetarian eateries in the 9th arrondissement of Paris that has earned it the nickname "Veggietown'!
