"Vegetarian in Paris with Amber Haggerty" is your ultimate guide to eating meat-free in the City of Light—and trust me, it's easier (and tastier) than you think! In this episode of Join Us in France, host Annie Sargent chats with Amber Haggerty, the expert behind The Vegetarian in Paris blog, about where to find the best plant-based meals in Paris. Whether you're a lifelong vegetarian, a curious foodie, or just looking to explore meat-free options, Amber shares her insider tips for navigating Parisian menus, avoiding tourist traps, and discovering hidden gems that even locals love.
Amber, a long-time vegetarian and Paris resident, reveals her favorite spots for everything from savory Breton galettes at Breizh Café to upscale vegetarian dining at Pristine, where the mushroom tart is legendary. She also highlights cozy wine bars like Le 1745, where you can build your own cheese board, and tiny bakeries like Le Comptoir de la Madeleine, famous for its warm, buttery madeleines. And if you're craving international flavors, she recommends Habesha for Ethiopian feasts or Zia for New Mexican brunch near the Eiffel Tower.
But this episode isn't just about restaurants. Amber and Annie dive into practical advice, like how to spot vegetarian-friendly dishes on French menus (hint: the sprout emoji doesn't always mean meat-free!) and where to shop for gourmet ingredients, like 30-month-aged Comté at Fromagerie Hardouin. You'll also learn what gifts to bring home—think French salt, artisanal butter, or vacuum-packed galettes—that food lovers will adore.
What makes this conversation special? Amber's passion for Paris shines through as she proves that vegetarian dining in the city isn't about sacrifice—it's about discovering delicious, creative meals that celebrate French cuisine without the meat. Annie's warm, engaging style makes it feel like you're getting advice from a trusted friend, and by the end, you'll be ready to book your trip and eat your way through Paris like a pro.
