Veganuary, a contraction of 'vegan' and 'January', is an initiative encouraged during the month of January, encouraging people to adopt a vegan lifestyle. This campaign aims to raise awareness and promote the benefits of vegan food for health, the environment and animal welfare. On this occasion we have selected some vegan addresses in le Marais.
Theory

In theory, a burger is meat. However, the Theory fast food restaurant (with a “Y”) offers entirely vegan, gourmet and healthy recipes. Initially, Theory only made burgers. But as it now offers other dishes, the brand changed its name: “Burger theory” became “Theory”.
There are always burgers of course, but also savory bowls, acai bowls and amazing sides – sweet potato fries, roasted cauliflower, decadent milkshakes.
On the burger side, there is the Portobello road, with its large Portobello mushroom, its “Mac sauce”, vegan “cheese”, candied peppers, red cabbage and chives. The bread is soft and the toppings are made from fresh produce. Theory uses imitation meat (protein meat substitute) from Heura, therefore of good quality and a homemade “pané”, surprisingly firm and very similar to a breaded escalope.
As for the bowls, there are two “homemade” options and the possibility of creating your own, with all available and seasonal ingredients – squash and red cabbage. As for commitment, here, we think as much about animals as about the planet: green electricity, anti-waste approach, use of organic and local products where possible. An address to test… In theory AND in practice.

Did you think that eating vegan ice cream was necessarily synonymous with sorbet? Oatly will prove you wrong!
The brand of barista-favorite vegetable oat drink has launched into ice cream and offers a vanilla sundae-style ice cream. For the moment, it is offered in only one brand… Du Marais!
It’s happening at Lollilol. In a pot or in a cone of vegan chimney cake, we appreciate the smoothness and delicate vanilla flavor. Surprisingly, the characteristic notes of oats are discreet and the sweetness reasonable.
We knew the address for comforting snacks, we come back there for a refreshing break.

©Land and Monkeys
This is a neighborhood bakery where you can find artisanal bread, pastries, pastries and sandwiches. Everything that is more classic do you think? Except that everything here is plant-based.
No trace of animal products at Land and Monkeys. The sister brand of Maison Landemaine aims to be a “positive impact” brand. Its motto is to offer a plant-based, less carbon-intensive diet to French people, without forcing them to change their habits.
We therefore find the great classics: a croissant for the morning, a quiche Lorraine or a buttered ham for lunch, a cookie for snack and pastries to share for dinner. Everything is revisited with plant substitutes. The presentations are meticulous and the tastes faithful to any mistake.
Some creations from the house, with a more plant-based identity, allow you to change (still) a little from its classics, such as the Umami sandwich with smoked tofu or the Kale cauliflower quiche.
On the sweet side, why not venture to the Orient and taste an Azahar tartlet which combines almond, pistachio and orange blossom?

©Hank
Open for 10 years, Hank is the pioneer of the vegan burger in Paris. French ingredients, with impeccable traceability, organic wherever possible, the brand tries to commit to animals and the planet.
The burgers range from the most classic, Double Smack (double Vegan cheese and smashed vegetable steak) to Cocorico with its homemade Coconut-Curry-Mango sauce and breaded escalope. Another particularity of the house, no frying. The sweet potato sticks and potatoes are baked in the oven. No oil bath. And if you're looking for an even lighter alternative, the small mixed greens, chickpea and dried tomato salad will be your friend. Unless you find a happy medium with homemade vegan coleslaw (vegetable mayonnaise).
Finally, if you are not in the mood to eat a burger, why set your sights on the croq pignon (halfway between croque monsieur and grilled cheese) or the hot dog.
All washed down with sparkling water with homemade strawberry juice. Roborative. So, vegan does not rhyme with asceticism.

UNE LITTLE HUNGRY ?
Quick lunch at Titi Palacio
On the second floor of this youth hotel (a hostel) is an indoor tavern which is reminiscent of the Mama Shelter in Lisbon. Except that here, we are in Paris and at the Titi Palacio, a hostel concept with dormitories and single rooms and a restaurant with a veranda…
Oysters and fish: P'tit Mousse knows his job
Why bother going to Wepler or La Coupole, when there is P'tit Mousse? Both an oyster bar and a fish restaurant, this address on Rue Rambuteau advantageously replaces the Parisian brasseries on Place Clichy and Boulevard Montparnasse.
Breton house, Brittany rue de Rivoli
A stone's throw from the Saint-Paul metro station and a stone's throw from the BHV, a little piece of Brittany has just been established. At the helm of this new ship, chef France. Originally from Finistère, she has been making crepes for over 20 years, so after experiencing the takeaway kiosk – Food Breizh on the banks of the Seine…
NOW ON
LE MARAIS MOOD
Private cruise on the Seine: a perfect moment
Like the Olympic athletes at the opening ceremony, Le Marais Mood embarked on a cruise on the Seine. But for a private cruise, in a small group (six passengers), with champagne on tap. This is what Green River Cruises offers for 450 euros for a one and a half hour cruise.
Les Amoureuses, an attractive wine bar
Pushing open the door of the "Amoureuses", very close to Bastille, is like entering a wine estate. Or almost. Not that the elegant and minimalist decor particularly evokes the vine, the terroir or a winery. But the wine list and the expertise of the lady of the house do not deceive: here, we are in the home of connoisseurs and enthusiasts.
The Paralympic flame in an exoskeleton
Emotional sequence on August 28 in front of the Carreau du Temple when the Paralympic Games flame appeared on rue Eugène Spuller (3rd) in front of the Carreau du Temple. The president of the French Paralympic Sports Federation Guislaine Westelynck first passed the flame, under the Carreau hall, to Elodie Clouvel…
