Vegetarian eateries to try in Paris

Vegetarians who’ve visited Paris will be all too familiar with the challenge of finding and ordering meat-free meals in the French capital … particularly if you don’t have a strong grasp of the language. Menu options can often be meat-heavy, with salad your only go-to option. To avoid eating dessert for dinner each night (although, we wouldn’t want to rule that option out completely), one of the best ways to eat well in Paris is to visit its fresh food markets and create your own picnic feast.
