Cheap Vegetarian Food in Paris: 30 Spots Where Veggies Eat Well
Eating vegetarian in Paris on a budget often ends in the same place: a cheese sandwich from a chain, or a sad side salad at a café that charges €14 for it. The cheap spots with great reviews tend to be meat-heavy, and the veggie-friendly ones tend to be pricey.
These 30 spots for cheap vegetarian food in Paris break that rule. Every one sits in our lowest price bracket, and each serves real vegetarian dishes, from Syrian mezze to handmade dumplings, checked across Time Out, Le Fooding and our other sources. For sit-down meals, see our vegetarian restaurants; for plant-based only, our vegan food.
