Another beauteous Veggie Magnifique-friendly spot has opened up in Paris – huzzah! Soon there’ll quite literally be one on every street corner.

Ok, so we’re not super keen on the name, which gives us the shivers.

But we’re full on in love with everything else this shiny new hangout has to offer (and we’ll just call it the ‘Ab. Vegetal’ from now on).

The Ab. Végétal is many of our favourite things in one healthful spot – veggie/vegan, eco-friendly, cosy, and stays open all afternoon (woot!).

Apparently this is exactly what north Montmartre has been crying out for, judging by the crowds we were greeted with on our weekday lunch visit.

And, oh my, the food is divine. Especially the puddings – I’m still dreaming of Ann’s ganache-y hunk of a meal-closer.

Every element of the dishes are well balanced, light and health-giving, with exotic seasonings that surprise and delight the palate.

The owners, Ava and Bastien, are on a mission to create delicious, healthy fare that’s eco-friendly en plus. As such, they source their produce super locally, most coming from within Paris itself. There’s even a nifty map on the menu that shows you where all the different products come from.

Ava and Bastien are a warm and friendly team, and make you feel welcome to stay the whole afternoon. Which we did. Well, someone had to test their healthful hot drinks menu…

Verdict: best matcha latte in town (and we’ve tried a few).

Mind you don’t drool on your keyboard when the desserts come out.

We hope you pay a visit to the Ab. Végétal soon. We just know you’re going to fall in love, especially with that divine succulent – yuuuuum!
