Amazing amazing amazing. As a vegan from London I'm quite spoilt for choice, and have always heard…read moreFrance is awful even for vegetarians. However, I did my research before my trip to Paris, and managed to find a lot of cool looking vegan places. When my boyfriend and I visited Un Monde Vegan on Friday, we were shocked at how much stuff is on sale. Really incredible variety of produce which even in London we find it hard to get hold of (Wheaty, all the chocolate, cheese, various other faux meat brands). They even have vegan pain au raisins, and croissants! We bought some sliced cheese (a German brand, I think) which was probably the best vegan cheese i've ever had. You wouldn't know it wasn't real dairy cheese. I wish we'd bought more. They had other brands too (Vegusto, Sheese, Teese, etc). Really amazing shop. Had everything I'd ever need, and more. Lots of my favourite foods (Wheaty Spacebars, Go Max Go chocolate, cheese, Redwood, etc). Can't wait to visit on my next trip to the city. Thanks!!!!

Has all of your processed vegan desires. Tofurky and other brands as well. But you can also find some similar items at places like bio c' bon's or biocoop or Naturalia, if you're not looking specifically for American Brand processed vegan food lol. Nothing "fresh" here just your boxed goods and refrigerated items. Got my spirulina and baobab powders plus hemp seed powder and I was happy to find follow your heart's vegan egg here ahhhhhh this made me oh so happy honestly I could barley find it in NYC (do yourself a favor and try it) so I'll definitely be back for this item. Definitely worth a visit but not in my weekly grocery rotation while I'm here I'll probably go once or twice more if I crave vegan cream cheese or something like that. Stop at a Bio c' Bon first and then decide if you really need to go here I think people seek this store out because it's the easiest thing to come up when you search vegan in Paris lol. That's what happen to me but there are tons of Bio c' Bon's all over (seriously just stop walking google maps it and I assure you, you're within walking distance of one) that's gonna be my go to. I don't really need this shop you might not either unless you really want things like tofurky lol

I was only in town for a short time and most of my schedule was occupied by work engagements so I ended up doing a fair bit of gift shopping here for my foodie family - perfect! This little store has all organic food offerings (from what I gathered), it is awesome. They have a small beer and wine section so I was able to pick up a few local treats for my craft beer loving husband along with some goodies for gifts to take home. Would be here everyday if I lived in this neighbourhood!

You can also some some items that aren't labeled gluten free, but things like hummus, quinoa salad and the like. It's pretty expensive, but you really don't have many options elsewhere.

Sadly I missed the risqué Flappers and the Golden Age of Art Deco, but a hundred years later Paris nouveau is still drop dead gorgeous and the city of light! Zelda Fitzgerald hero worshipping aside, fabulous cafés are everywhere across Paris. One such café is Le Savio. A true Parisian café! If you've never been to Paris... it has hands down the best cafés in the world. Period. Yet, you'll also discover that many cafés open later in the mornings. So to avoid early morning disappointment plan ahead. Fortunately Le Savio was located just around the corner from my Bed & Breakfast in the Madeleine District. Le Savio can be described as a fancy coffee shop, as the decor dictates, and the baristas are more cultured (if that makes any sense lol). If you know, you know;). French spoken here but if versed in the basics of "bonjour", "croissant", and "café latté" you need not worry. I arrive at 7:00am, hoping to get a bite before my first showing at the Louvre. Parisians already fill the counter, from blue collar to those in haute couture. I manage to find a seat at the end. My senses immediately pick up the rich aroma of freshly brewed French coffee and I notice a fresh basket of croissants. Ahhh. I order my "chocolat croissant" and "café latté" s'il te plaît. I'm in Heaven... In the end, I recommend Le Savio for those looking for exquisite coffee. It's not your traditional café per se and I'm led to believe that it really picks up for the lunch menu. Perhaps. I don't know as I became a regular only in the early morning hours. Oh! si tu pouvais lire dans mon coeur, tu verrais la place où je t'ai mise! Ahh Paris...

Tons of competition in the local area near Madeline district of Paris for the working lunch crowd…read more I did not eat at the regular sit-down restaurant but at the adjacent take-way/fast lunch venue. Somewhat crowded. They have several variety of sandwiches in baguettes. I choose a quiche Lorraine and the soup of the day (cauliflower). The quiche was fine but the soup had zero taste. I am a cauliflower fan and I couldn't stomach finishing this soup. To top it all, I was hungry. A second visit is not necessary.

The line works differently in Paris. The takeaway line is STRICTLY for takeout. If you want to dine in, grab an empty table, and a server will come to you. Let's be a polite traveler. The pastry was DELICIOUS as we ordered CROISSANT, STRAWBERRY TART, and SPINACH and CHEESE QUICHE. All the items here were FANTASTIC. We also ordered ESPRESSO with WATER (translated in English). What I realized about espresso in Paris is that it is less bitter and acidic compared to the-most-famous-coffeeshop (She Who Must Not Be Named). And for that reason, I would never be able to drink their espresso. I wish I had more time to return and try other selections. I would definitely RECOMMEND this café to anyone staying near.

We had just arrived in Paris and I wanted to take my 10 year old daughter on a stroll to see how the natives behave in their natural habitat. I asked a street vendor about the best bakery in the neighborhood and Voilà, we found Bechu. It's a cut above the average, for sure. We loved the macarons, chocolate tart, apple tart, a few mini-bouche de Noels, as well as the humble baguette they make. The café looked charming although we didn't eat there. The quality is top notch and the place has a happy, buzzy, bustling, glamorous atmosphere. Not a destination in and of itself but worth stopping by if you're in the neighborhood.

Nothing was particularly interesting but it was mostly edible; really didn't like the acidic carrots. Pleasant service and a nice environment, but the food was lacklustre. Not recommended.
