10 Top Vegetarian Restaurants in Provence

There are some really wonderful vegetarian restaurants in Provence that benefit from having fresh fruit and vegetables – grown in a sunny climate – right on their doorstep. Here’s our guide to the top 10 vegetarian restaurants in the region.
Koko Green
Restaurant, French, Vegan, Vegetarian

Koko Green in Nice, specialises in vegetarian and raw food. It’s open for lunch at the back end of the week (for dinner too on Friday and Saturdays). It does lovely tacos and smoothies and really is a great healthy alternative. Their menu changes weekly so check out their Facebook page for daily menu options.
Green Vibes
Restaurant, Food Truck, French, European, Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten-free
This is a little food truck in Cannes that’s found in the Marché Forville. They do great burgers (with a difference, like beetroot) and lovely cakes and drinks. A real treat.
Green Bear Coffee
Restaurant, Sandwich Shop, Dessert Shop, Coffee Shop, Cafe, Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Fast Food, Tea

There are three branches of Green Bear Coffee around Marseille and all of them offer great vegetarian/vegan food and drinks. They’re a great place to work (with free WiFi) which is probably reflected in the fact that they close on the weekend. Very friendly.
Caju
Restaurant, French, European, Gluten-free, Vegan, Vegetarian
This vegan restaurant serves food non-stop throughout the day, so it’s a great place to pick up salads and veggie burgers all day long in Nice. They have gluten-free cakes and lovely healthy drinks. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Le Troquet à Soupes
Restaurant, French, European, Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten-free
People love this little restaurant in Cannes which serves lots of different types of soup. They make all their soups with ingredients from the nearby Marché Forville so they’re fresh and seasonal. Closed Mondays.
Café l'Écomotive
Restaurant, Cafe, Vegan, Vegetarian, Mediterranean, French, European

The Ecomotive is a co-working space that sells organic food. It opened four years ago, and unusually for Marseille, it’s open long hours and every day. It’s a great stop on your way to, or from, Marseille’s St Charles train station as it can be found at the foot of the steps leading up to it. A good range of vegan and vegetarian food.
Vegan Gorilla
Restaurant, French, European, Vegan, Gluten-free, Vegetarian

Le Balagan
Restaurant, Vegan, French, Vegetarian, Fast Food

So Green
Restaurant, Juice Bar, French, European, Gluten-free, Vegan, Vegetarian
Le Cours en Vert
Restaurant, Vegan, European, Healthy, Fast Food

Le Cours en Vert is located on the achingly hip Cours Julien, which in itself is a great place to hang out. This restaurant makes it even better. It’s a vegetarian and vegan place – no fish – that’s casual and friendly. Take the time to wander this exciting area afterwards. People love it.
