The first time I traveled to Paris, I was a little nervous about finding food as a vegan. After all, Paris is know for it’s buttery croissants, cheese boards, and steak frites. But to my surprise, it quickly became one of my favorite cities for plant-based food (alongside all the incredible vegan restaurants in NYC).

Over the years of visiting, I’ve discovered some incredible vegan restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and hidden gems in Paris, many with gluten-free options too. On my latest trip, I even discovered a fully vegan hotel in Paris! Safe to say, this city has completely stolen my heart, one vegan croissant at a time.

Whether you’re searching for the best vegan croissant in Paris (more on that below), plant-based restaurants, vegan cafés, or gluten-free bakeries, this guide covers it all. Some spots are fully vegan, some are vegetarian, and others are simply veg-friendly, but all are worth visiting.

One little tip: many of the best vegan restaurants in Paris are north of the Seine River. I’m not sure why… it’s just how it is.
