restaurant review 592 – This is small fastfood place in the city center of Nantes. Go order at the counter, and you get a beeper, which lets you know when your order is ready. Very friendly service, and activism inspired (with leaflets and announcements of demos etc)
restaurant review #585 – Heiko is a poke chain with a dozen or so locations throughout France. They have vegan ‘pieces’ available, so it’s easy to compose your own bowl, or you can choose one of the signature bowls, which can be made vegan.
restaurant review #576 – Another vegan restaurant!
restaurant review #555 – Vegetarian café with vegan options!
restaurant review #551 – I rather eat rabbit food, than have rabbits being considered as food. Seriously, why are raw vegs denigratingly called rabbit food? Bunnies are sweet, gentle beings. Hundreds of other species also eat these ‘rabbit food’ vegetables. And there’s so much variety, they are delicious and healthy! Vegan in France! We had take-away twice from this place, it’s a chain with several locations. Ordered at the touch screen, then pick up order at the counter. We composed our own bowls, with the ‘vegan pieces’.
restaurant review #474 – Vegan in FRANCE! Is still quite difficult unfortunately … 😓 On a sidenote – does anyone know why the canal water in Colmar is so green? 🤔🟢🟢)
restaurant review #414 – This one is from a while back! Going through my photos, I realised I had forgotten to post about this lovely vegan place in Metz (France).
restaurant review #344 – BrEAThe is a vegan Asian maki bar. It is the second location of this restaurant, based in Montorgeuil in Paris. We were here for lunch in March (yes, I’m still cathing up on restaurant reviews!) when we were in Paris for a show of GENESIS on their last ever tour (see some videos below, and more on my You Tube channel).
A couple of weeks ago on a Sunday, there was a vegan market in Lille (Rijsel, France). Lille is just across the border with Belgium, and for us that is just an hour’s drive, so we were eager to go check it out! The vegan market was organised by Végétal & Vous, a vegan shop in Lille. We could park not too far from the Community center. A bit of a bummer that the elevator was out of order, although the organisor had mentionned and warned about this the day before on the facebook page, and offered help to anyone needing assistance. But we managed 🙂 The market was not really that big (certainly not when compared to other vegan fairs or festivals we’ve been to, like Veggieworld, VegfestUK, vegfestNL or Vegan Summerfest). But nonetheless with a nice variety of shops, products and organisations. And since it was in France, also some new brands that we had never heard of. But also some products that I personally don’t really associate with veganism (like dream cathers and …
Shop review #40 – Biodesir in Lisieux (Normandy, France) is an organic shop at the edge of the city. It is a reasonably sized store, with lots of parking place in front. We were on holiday in Normandy for a couple of days in June, and we stopped here to buy some bread spreads and crackers for our lunch. I wish we could have bought more products (especially from the cooled section), because there were many products that were ‘new’ to us, and not available in Belgian stores. But since it was also extremely hot during our holiday in Normandy (around 38°) we would not have been able to preserve them till we got home. Please note that it is not a vegan shop, so not all the products on the photos are necessarily vegan. The shop does sell a lot of vegan items that are not so easily found in ‘regular’ shops in France (vegan yoghurt, tempeh, plant based drinks, vegan cheeze, …). Here are some more photos from inside Biodésir, and some vegan products: …
