vegetarian seeks advice

Since my last visit to Paris, I have given up seafood and am now strictly vegetarian. (my husband is not.) Does anyone have experience with asking restaurants to accomodate vegetarians?

In my experience the best thing to do is get a guide book with a thorough list of restaurants with vegetarian options. Those will be the best restaurants to be helpful with your requests. I think we used Fodor%26#39;s last time? It was great because they indicated the restaurants that weren%26#39;t strictly vegetarian.

As there are a ton of restaurant guides to Paris, it shouldn%26#39;t be a problem!

The real problem will be even veggie looking things, like a bowl of lentils, will most likely have duck or veal broth. You%26#39;d be better off eating at the vegetarian friendly restaurants, where both you and your husband can be comfortable.

Hi Nozizwe

If you search the forum (box on upper right) for vegetarian, you will find a lot of suggestions. If you like Indian food, their restaurants often offer a good selection for vegetarians too.

The last time we went to Paris I had searched the vege internet sites such as happycow.net and went with a list of restaurants. We had great food throughout the trip. Paris is a wonderful city and all tastes are catered for.
