After traveling through Europe for a few days, I felt it was time to incorporate my favorite Asian cuisines back into my life. That's where Végébowl comes in to save the day as my first meal after arriving in Paris. Being the de facto food connoisseur of my group since I'm plant-based, I was excited to try this spot and see my friends enjoying all the food as well. We started with their Shiitake Mushroom Fritters (6€) and these were crispy, golden perfection in our mouths. They weren't overly fried or greasy and the mushrooms were tender and fantastic. For my main, I tried their Claypot Udon with Satay Sauce (12€). Even on a hot Parisian day, this noodle soup definitely filled me up. The sauce was fantastic - a mix of satay paste and coconut milk, and all the tofu and veggies incorporated with the udon was just heavenly. They also had BOBA. I was thrilled that they offered milk tea (with ice!) and boba, and while it didn't blow me away, the fact that it was even available meant I was ordering one. My friend agreed. Definitely loved dining here and would say they are one of my go-to spots now especially the next time I'm in Paris. read more

Probably one my favorite vegan restaurant in Paris. I'm so glad that they were 3 blocks away from our hotel. I went everyday we were in Paris. The vegan egg they have is one of the most interesting vegan food they have. I even have to order to go for me to eat for my plane ride home. It will haunt me forever that I have to live my life knowing this is the other side of the world and I just cant have it whenever I want read more

I love Pan Asian cuisine. This place really hit the spot. The menu option with 3 courses was a great deal for dinner. I ordered the soup, pepper steak and the almond jelly. I also added pho. Everything tasted great. The restaurant is a little small but can accommodate groups of 6-8. The service was great. Our server helped us pick options. I would recommend. It's one of a few vegan Pan Asian restaurants. read more

Happy to walk by this affordable and clean little spot on my first night in Paris alone. Being a vegan, I'm happy to promote good food when I find it internationally! They gave me the lunch special price even though it was dinner time which included a delicious salad, ginger chicken with sticky rice and banana beignets. read more

If you're a vegetarian and you love thrifting please come here it's near all the thrift shops and the food is incredible and the owners are very nice :) read more

They have multiple set menus and we tried 2 of them. The vegan beef was delicious although the portion was much smaller than the equivalent item on the other set menu, which was my ma po tofu (not at all numbing spicy but still tasty in a sour-sweet way). The noodles and papaya salad were very good (but not as good as at Tien Hiang). The accompanying seaweed tofu soup was excellent down to the very last drop. The fried banana and lychee desserts were delicious. Very comfortable and pleasant ambiance. Service was excellent. read more

As vegetarians, we are always excited to find and try all-vegan or vegetarian restaurants. This one was an especially good one because the pan-Asian food we had here was very flavorful and a change in taste from other meals we had that week while we were in Paris. We had the pan-fried dumplings (pretty good), tofu skewers (twice--so good we ordered again), black pepper hot pot (yummy!), and mapo tofu (could have been spicier, but still good) with sticky rice. In retrospect it was a lot of tofu that we ordered and we would have liked to try a noodle or curry dish, but we were already so full after these plates! Anyway, vegetarian, vegan or not, you should try this restaurant. read more

I loved Vegebowl. It's my fifth all vegetarian and/or vegan restaurant attempt in the past two weeks in Paris. I've all but given up on vegetarian French cuisine. Le Potager fu Marais is a disaster. Saveurs Veget-Halles wasn't much better. Veg'Arte is an unclear concept. The Gentle Gourmet Cafe is the only restaurant among the group worthy of a second visit (definitely worthy, but expensive if the menu of the day only available at lunch is not selected. I didn't select the menu because I wanted to be free to try what appealed. I'm glad I did but my meal was more than 50% higher). True, Vegebowl departs from the classic French bistro fare, but with such limited vegetarian options and pitiful vegetarian/vegan attempts in this great city of the world, going ethnic is all one can do for vegetarian redemption. Otherwise, it's salad and sautéed vegetables at every meal. Or pizza. I had a vegetarian quiche yesterday that was spectacular, though most on offer have been with ham. It's a war out there for us non-flesh consuming folk, and the French are slow to adapt...but I'll ruminate on those reasons another time. In comes Vegebowl. It's not entirely vegan, but close enough. They report they are "90% vegan, 100% vegetarian". The non-vegan items are clearly marked on the menu. And let me say, "Wow!" This food was great. Truly something special. I have my favorite Asian-style vegetarian/vegan places at home, and I seek out similar places when I travel, but few places I've ever been cook with this level of culinary sophistication. The dishes were delicate. They brought French culinary sensibility to soy-based meat substitutes. To the French, it'd be a sacrilege. To most anyone else, it's probably unnoticed. Who orders mock/meatless/soy/vegetarian meat substitutes and expects it to be delicate? As a point of comparison, Hakkasan is a high-end chain of delicate Chinese dim sum and well-crafted plates with outposts in San Francisco, Dubai, London, Shanghai (and/or places like that). I took myself there last year for my birthday. That was good. This was better. I was amazed at the delicious soy substitute in my black pepper beef. Not huge chunks or slabs; rather delicate slivers of cruelty-free love. Organic? Not sure. But in the vegetarian backwaters of what seems like the Sixteenth Century for vegetarians in Paris, who cares? It's great, has great texture, and the chef knows how to prepare it. I am not grading on a curve here. This isn't better than the other failed executions; this stands on its own in its own right. It's so far beyond the pack, it's the Usain Bolt of Asian vegetarian. I started with the Chinese style sour soup, much like a hot and sour. Great temperature (truly hot, not warm) and wonderful consistency. Not my all-time favorite, but well done. Then I had the Chinese pan fried dumplings. Spectacular pillows of delicate equipoise, but such tiny morsels of fairy dust that any non-Asian mouth would find it nearly impossible to eat with the grace that such royalty deserves. My main was the black pepper beef with a plate of Thai fried rice, which I've already described. The rice wasn't spicy; neither was the "beef", but both were perfectly done with not a smatter or a smitten of grease to be found. Bravo, Vegebowl. Bravo, indeed. So what's the catch? Portion size. The portions at Vegebowl are perfect .... if one is having an eighteen course meal. The food is so delicate and well-prepared and the portions are so modest that one may not realize that one ate by the time one is done. These were tapas-sized portions, and in fact, I've had tapas that served larger portions that these entrees/main plates offered. When the food was brought out, my first reaction was, "Where's the rest?" To be fair, the cost would have been more than 21€ had the portions been more robust, so perhaps the equation balances. It seems high for what it is because the food is as angelic as rays of sunshine. However, it subconsciously thwarts expectations because no one would expect such talent from such a pedestrian-sounding kitchen, nor does it have the atmosphere of a haute dining experience like Hakkasan. If I'm honest, for a similar amount of food (though slightly more) at Hakkasan in San Francisco, I paid 55€ compared to the 21€ here. Still, I do feel that I could have ordered double and not quite been satisfied even still. It's a drawback, yes, but not sufficient to take away a star from a kitchen exuding this much talent. Go for the flavors, the mastery, the brilliance. Don't go for the portions or the price. read more

Vegebowl is located in an interesting part of the city. They have a small but comfortable restaurant. The staff speaks limited English but ordering isn't a problem. We enjoyed the combo lunch options. Save space for a great crepe place on the way home. read more

Végébowl - Omitofu - Vegetarian Near Me - Paris, 75

This is a solid place for vegans in Paris. Being skeptical of some versions of mock meat in the world, we always go with tofu. We got sweet and sour tofu, vermicelli noodles, vegetables/tofu on bed of rice, and some tofu dish with a soy glaze. All tasted really good- but do not expect large portions. We left feeling like we could have eaten a bit more. I admit I was expecting the portion size of Chinese food in the US... which was my bad! read more

Such of amazing place! Great atmosphere, great food, great value for money. I found this restaurant on Yelp and I trusted what I've read. We were 3 people and I was worried because I am the only vegan. It's a vegan Chinese restaurant and I must say that it's really worth to give it a try. Few steps away from rue de bérgére, it's very tiny, neat place. The staff is nice and available, although they don't speak any English at all. We ordered dumplings, sweet and sour " pork" , veggie " chicken with soya sauce, cantonese rice , lychees in syrup and a lotus cake. The main courses were just amazing. I'd give a A+ to the sweet and sour veggie pork that it tasted amazing, as well as the dumplings. The only thing we did not appreciated, was the lotus cake, that definitely convinced me to take a star off. But for the rest.. No complaints at all! All good ...! We paid 21 euro each - which is absolutely a great deal considering the average prices here, in Paris read more

Great variety, unique menu and affordable vegan / vegetarian restaurant. My family of four with two teenage sons loved this place. We were famished after a full day of walking and sight seeing at Paris and I think we tried a great variety of 12+ appetizers / main dishes and loved 80%+ of everything we ordered. We were pleased with our server who patiently answered our questions in English and the food arrived promptly despite the place being full house (always a good sign for any eatery!) read more

Excellent food! Asian - Thai themed. All vegan. Walked a good distance (from the Musee d'Orsay) and it was worth it. Small place on a quiet street. We ordered 2 appys and 2 mains. Beef clay pot tofu veg clay pot. Both were excellent. Strongly recommend this place. read more

An ALL VEGETARIAN restaurant in Paris?! Be still my beating heart! This place is perfect for vegetarians and vegans. They have a huge menu with various Panasian options (including mock meat, if that's your thing), and everything is quite reasonably priced AND has an English translation next to it. The staff speaks very little English (if at all) but are very friendly, and it's easy to order what you want. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone - especially vegetarians. read more

Not as good as I was expecting; papaya salad was tasteless, overly sweet, fat from spicy and had tomatoes in it. Had the dumplings, they were ok. Am sure they can do better. read more

The service is good and it's cheap. However they specialize more in fake meat than vegetables. Expect mostly starch and soy here. I got the spring roll and the beef pho. It was ok, but I didn't feel very healthy afterwards nor was it particularly flavorful. read more

After 2 weeks in France, I was really craving dinner with a lot of vegetables and no meat or any fish. This place was perfect. We ordered about 6 dishes for the 2 of us as they are not very large, but very flavorful and interesting! I highly recommend the luc loc read more
