Paris is nicknamed the city of Lights for a reason. It is home to boundless creativity and innovations, especially when it comes to food. The Marais neighborhood is the living proof. Ever the trendsetter and quite busy, this district is where many restaurants have chosen to practice their craft. This entails making good food available to most… And more eco-friendly, too. Consequently, Galerie Joseph offers you a list of 5 of the best vegetarian restaurants in the Marais, so that you may have a great meal without trouble after an exhibition in one of our galleries for rent, or after planning a showroom.
The Marais’ top 5 vegetarian restaurants
Hank, 55 rue des Archives – A burger good for your karma
What exactly is Hank, the new Parisian burger spot ? Firstly, HANK is an acronym for Have A Nice Karma. And indeed : the establishment does stand out from the array of Parisian vegetarian restaurants. The burgers served at Hank are not only vegetarian : they are 100% vegan. They are entirely plant-based, without any animal byproduct, whether it be in the bread or any of the fillings. No eggs, milk, butter, or meat — but taste.
Hank favors homemade cooking. Each of their unique recipes (which change depending on the season) is cooked on site. Thanks to that, all the ingredients in their burgers are adjustable depending on allergies and specific demands. For a more positive impact on the environment, each of the wrappers used in their packaging is both recyclable and biodegradable. The offered desserts are also vegan, and the drinks, organic and fairtraide. Regular, unhealthy fast-food restaurants don’t stand a chance.
Open everyday and without interruption from 12 noon to 10pm, Hank makes vegan diets not only accessible but also fun and delicious. And that’s not it. With its three Paris locations, Hank has extended its reach. They also plan events, and even make… Pizzas ! Which are also 100% vegan.
Find the Hankburgers barely 2 minutes away from our 6 Braque venue, one of the galleries offered for rent for your art exhibitions, showrooms, or pop-up stores.

Fringe, 106 rue de Turenne – Coffee off the beaten path
Jeff Hargrove opened his café, Fringe, with an objective in mind : partake in the “Paris coffee revolution”. He’s achieved that goal by combining 3 essential themes. Firstly, local coffee ; “good-eating”, with quality, local ingredients ; and finally, a love of photography, putting the spotlight on emerging artists.
Fringe works with world-famous coffee roasters to obtain quality espressos (their “signature” one, as well as another espresso which changes monthly) and filter coffees (which change regularly). As for the menu, it represents all the agricultural abundance of the Île de France region. With the close contact it keeps with its suppliers, Fringe ranks itself high on the range of local eating. Everything is homemade : juices, bread, pastries, and all the dishes, for the most part vegetarian (with vegan options).
Regularly, Fringe hosts photography exhibitions. While savoring healthy dishes and high quality coffee, you will be able to enjoy the works of photographs with the same artisanal, personal approach. Fringe also offers photography books, as well as books and magazines about specialty coffee.
You can find Fringe a 2 minute walk away from our 66 Charlot and 123 turenne venues, and less than a minute away from our 116 Turenne venue. Those three locations, with their large surface area and excellent lighting, are ideal to host your events, showrooms, or professional conferences.

Yummy and Guiltfree, 3 rue du Temple – Simply delightful
Waffles for lunch ? Yes, because Yummy and Guiltfree happen to not make just any waffle. They come in two formats, savory and sweet, and can be enjoyed either to go or on site.
Among the Paris restaurants, Yummy and Guiltfree truly stands out. The chef, Damien Cassart, does indeed revisit this traditional treat with a lot of creativity. With recipes that change depending on the seasons, fully homemade, those waffles have a lot to offer… And without any guilt to be felt : they are gluten-free, lactose-free, and contain 20% less calories than most waffles. With toppings such as Madagascar vanilla, lemon curd, the Alpine version or with hummus and vegetables, they’ll surely suit your tastes… And truly speak to your inner child. The plain waffle (just as delicious) is also completely vegan. You truly can’t miss out on their multiple locations while visiting our Marais venues.
