Martin-Lane and I are vegan vegetarians– we eat very well. Paris is no exception we have our favorite bakeries, street food, markets, cous cous restaurant, Vietnamese food, falafel... My preference is to eat meals inspired by the freshest seasonal market ingredients, many restaurants in Paris that cook this way are not able to accommodate vegans. Of course there are exceptions on previous trips we have had memorable meals at Arpege, L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon and le violin d'Ingres to name a few. On our trip last week we enjoyed a thoughtful and delicious seven course meal at Verjus. I cannot recall each dish but the meal included– smoked broccoli, roasted potato with truffle salt and radish sprout, celery root dumplings with dan dan sauce, tofu made by a friend of the chef, cranberry beans, salsify... Everything we saw at the farmers market and more!

At the end of the meal I asked how often they cook vegan meals and was told this was their first one! I recommend both the restaurant and wine bar downstairs to both vegetarians and omnivores alike.
