Vegetarian or vegan restaurants

The concept of vegetarianism, as perceived by the French, is limited to green leafy salads, grated carrots, shallow fried green beans and potatoes! Unfortunately, the choices for vegetarians are limited outside Indian, Italian and Lebanese restaurants. However, there is no need for vegetarians to despair in the culinary capital of the world.

Here we have compiled a list of some restaurants that offer a good choice for vegetarians and vegans alike. However, it is recommended for vegans to check with the serving staff before placing the order.

Tips for vegetarians:

• The choices for vegetarian sandwiches are almost non-existent! However, at some Italian restaurants with take-aways and/ or fast food joints, one may find a panini* stuffed with mozarella cheese, lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes.
• At fast food joints like McDonald's or Quick's, do not confuse the 'Cheese burger' for a burger with just cheese. In addition to cheese, it usually has a patty of minced ham or beef in it.

* a type of Italian sandwich made with freshly baked bread
