There are a few updates to Paris Vegetarian that I wanted to pull together in a single post.
- Shortly after writing about my favorite chef: Jacques, he left the restaurant I highlighted (Chez Alexandre). Don’t worry, their key clientelle will remain the same and you should still be able to order vegan and vegetarian dishes. Just not from Jacques.
- I returned to La Victoire, Suprême du Coeur last night. My main objection during my first visit was the dry, tasteless bread. I was pleased to find they’ve switched to Poilaine instead. Try their pumpkin/coconut milk soup.
- I’ve been working on V3GGIE, the vegetarian search engine. It was recently featured in Culinary School Guides list of 100 helpful search engines for foodies, chefs, farms, and more. Check out their blog. They have some extremely useful lists, such as Top blogs for Foodies.
- I’m working on a new search engine that will capture the local buzz from sites like Paris Vegetarian. Its focus is the community blog, restaurant guide, chefs. It will skip the global sites, such as Zagat or Fodors. I think the results will be interesting. Here’s a sneak peak at a prototype: Tartine.
- Fall has hit Paris. The days are getting chilly and my focus has shifted to soups. Look for a round up of Paris Potage soon.

THE GODJO is a very good vegetables and meat restaurant .It ‘s an original and exotic which is located at 8 rue de l’Ecole Polytechnique, 75005 Paris. Dishes are perfumed like king saba and solomon, spicy kindly to release the fingers and which are eaten with your hands with pieces Pancake The theme of this kitchen takes you in a mind to turn you meet at the same shelf with your guests, and where sharing is permitted.It is very friendly, warm and relaxing
Hi there, I am doing research for accessible vegetarian restaurants. I am doing an advisory service for disabled and non disabled people who needs help negotiating Paris. Do you have restaurants which are step free – with an accessible toilet if possible – right now I have a client who uses a wheelchair and is a vegetarian.
Any help and tips would be greatly appreciated,

The accessible toilet is the most difficult part as most restaurants have them underground.
During the warm months you can eat outside of most restaurants, so that helps. Here are some places that I can think of, from memory, that have little to no steps.
Parisian Sweet Bar
Tien Hiang
Green Garden
Gout Zen
You’ve brought up a good point and I will begin notating restaurants that are accessible.
They look absolutely great – and they are noted (source will be credited) on my website. You will be doing a great service if you add accessibility info on the restaurants – level access entry is brilliant (no steps) and maximum one step ( not more than 4 ins/12 cm) because its difficult but not impossible higher than that. Also whether there is also a sidewalk/pavement to consider. One step to negotiate with a narrow sidewalk is difficult for a wheelchair user. It brilliant to sit outside in the summer but there s the winter and rainy days too
