Nadine Braehmer • April 23, 2025

Discover the best of French cuisine—meat-free and full of flavor!

Paris is a haven for food lovers, and while French cuisine is often associated with meats, cheeses, and seafood, there's a delicious world of vegetarian French dishes waiting to be explored. Whether you're a committed vegetarian or just want to experience the lighter side of Parisian dining, we've compiled the top 10 vegetarian dishes you must try while in Paris.


And the best part? You don’t have to explore it alone. Join our local food guide, Alia, on a mouthwatering vegetarian food tour through Paris—she’ll take you to hidden gems and neighborhood favorites that most tourists never find. 🍷🥐

🥐 1. Ratatouille

This colorful Provençal dish made with zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs is as delicious as it is comforting. It's a staple in French vegetarian cooking.


🧀 2. Tartiflette Without Bacon (Vegetarian Tartiflette)

Originally made with bacon, this creamy potato, cheese, and onion dish can often be found in a vegetarian version in cozy bistros—just ask for it “sans lardons.”


🥗 3. Salade de Chèvre Chaud

Warm goat cheese on toasted bread, served over a bed of greens with a drizzle of honey and walnuts—this salad is the ultimate balance of savory and sweet.


🥖 4. Soupe à l’Oignon (French Onion Soup) – Veggie Version

Traditionally made with beef stock, but many Parisian spots now offer a vegetarian onion soup that's rich, hearty, and perfect for a chilly day.


🍅 5. Tarte aux Tomates

A savory tomato tart with flaky pastry, mustard, herbs, and cheese. It’s simple, elegant, and packed with flavor.


🧅 6. Pissaladière

A caramelized onion tart from Nice, usually topped with olives and herbs. The classic version includes anchovies, but many veggie-friendly versions skip them.


🧽 7. Gratin Dauphinois

Thin slices of potato baked in cream and garlic. This cheesy, golden casserole is pure comfort food—and totally vegetarian.


🧈 8. Crêpes with Sweet or Savory Vegetarian Fillings

From spinach and cheese to mushrooms and herbs, savory vegetarian crêpes (galettes) are a must. And don’t forget dessert crêpes with Nutella or caramel!


🥬 9. Poêlée de Légumes

A simple yet flavorful sauté of seasonal vegetables cooked in butter, olive oil, and herbs. You'll find versions of this all over Paris.


🍰 10. Clafoutis

A custardy dessert made with cherries (or sometimes other fruits), clafoutis is an elegant way to end any meal—especially paired with a café crème.
