Escape the madding crowds and slip into Paris’s most sacred veggie sanctums
L’ABATTOIR VÉGÉTAL
A bright, rustic den with copper-pipe shelving and hanging baskets, L’Abattoir Végétal puts a deliciously vegan twist on the classics – we’re talking aubergine caviar; chickpea-sausage hotdogs; and bean burgers spilling over with mushrooms, guacamole and veg mayo. www.abattoirvegetal.fr
WILD & THE MOON
The poetic name alone is enough to make us swoon. Another member of the hanging basket tribe, Wild & The Moon is like a secret garden in the city with its dangling plants and bulbs. The extensive drinks menu is a proud feature, but there’s an excellent choice of food too. www.wildandthemoon.fr
SOUL KITCHEN
This little vegetarian café near the Sacré-Cœur is a true home away from home, especially if you love nothing more than a morning croissant and piping-hot cup of coffee (like most of us). Friendly staff, shabby-chic seating and delicious pastries set this nook apart from the rest. www.soulkitchenparis.fr
