Do You Have Anything Vegan?

When we told friends and fam we were taking our first trip to Paris, the first thing they said was, “Awesome! Have a great time!” And the second statement from almost everyone was, “I feel bad for you, you’re gonna have a tough time finding anything to eat.” Fear not, France has come along way, baby (or as they say: bebe), with restaurants like Le Potager de Charlotte leading the way. Two brothers, two locations (Le Potager du Marais), endless flavors of deliciousness.

Jim’s Choice: I love a plate of roasted seasonal veggies that’s not weighed down by a heavy sauce. So I opted for the Roasted Eggplant which had a splash of white pepper humus, cucumbers, bell peppers, red onions, a roasted pistachio sesame cream & ginger dressing, with a hit of fresh herbs atop. My favorite meal in Paris.

Steve’s Choice: If there’s a carb involved, I am eating it. The Rigatoni with Bell Pepper Cream made with gluten-free pasta, grilled bell pepper cream, peppers, tomatoes, olives, pine nuts and covered in arugula. This dish is surprisingly lighter than it sounds and my mouth is watering thinking about how good it was.
