Vegan bistro with imaginative dishes, tiled dining room & courtyard
"Tucked in Paris’ 10th arrondissement, this lively vegan bistro feels more like a fête than a weekday lunch: hand-selected vegetables sit artfully with condiments and sauces, conversations ripple across tables and everyone — omnivore or otherwise — feels welcome. Owner Alice Tuyet set out to create a warm, celebratory atmosphere where people can unplug, have fun and rediscover pleasure through plant-based cooking; when she opened Faubourg Daimant in 2022 her aim was not to convert diners but to celebrate the sensuality of French cuisine through a new lens. The restaurant’s signature croquettes cochonnes — crispy, creamy and unapologetically indulgent — embody that philosophy that vegan food can be bold, silky and utterly irresistible. Recognition from The MICHELIN Guide shortly before her father’s passing felt deeply symbolic, and the menu’s playful, precise and undeniably French approach (even the reinvented no-butter butter, emulsified high-quality vegetable oils smoked with beech wood) proves that plant-based cuisine can be as decadent and joyful as any feast." - Marie-Noëlle Bauer
"Often acclaimed as the best vegan restaurant in Paris, Faubourg Daimant aspires to deliver high-level gastronomy regardless of its animal-free restrictions. Dishes show off the kitchen’s precise technical skills and culinary imagination, including items like carrots glazed with barbecue sauce and tofu croquettes meant to resemble pig’s trotters. The tiled dining room is a beautiful place for a meal. Located in the 10th arrondissement. Vibe check: There’s a pleasant courtyard for outdoor dining when the weather agrees." - Alexander Lobrano
"Often touted as the best vegan restaurant in Paris, Faubourg Daimant aspires to deliver such a high-level of gastronomic satisfaction that omnivores may forget that the food doesn’t include animal products. Among the dishes that show off the kitchen’s precise technical skills and culinary imagination are carrots glazed with barbecue sauce and tofu croquettes meant to resemble pig’s trotters. The tiled dining room is a beautiful place for a meal, and there’s a pleasant courtyard for summer dining, as well. Located in the 10th arrondissement." - Alexander Lobrano
