The Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Dijon
Dijon is known more for haute cuisine than the vegetarian scene, but the trend is gradually, if not speedily, gaining ground. There are many excellent vegetarian-friendly options on the menu in these great spots around town.
LULU
Restaurant, Vegan, Vegetarian, Dessert
This is a little restaurant in a quiet street, with an emphasis on the vegan lifestyle and reducing food waste. Dishes and delicious desserts are also available for take out.
Le Shanti
Cafe, Restaurant, Fusion, Vegan, Vegetarian, Indian, Dessert
An Indian-themed café-restaurant in the lively Rue Berbisey, Le Shanti specializes in 100% vegetarian options, locally sourced. Their tasty veggie burgers, falafels, salads, soups and desserts are as imaginative as they are appetizing and very reasonably priced.
Treize Lucioles
Restaurant, French, Vegetarian
This restaurant offers a self-service vegetarian buffet, as well as a traditional omnivore two- or three-course menu. The home-style selections are made from fresh, locally sourced products.
La Petite Marche
Restaurant, French, Vegetarian, Vegan
You might walk by this little lunchtime spot and miss it because it isn’t really that noticeable from the street. La Petite Marche, upstairs in the popular organic store La Vie Saine, offers a healthy organic menu in an informal dining room with a view of the charming pedestrian street below. They include vegetarian and vegan options and a special that changes every day according to seasonal products.
Taj Mahal
Restaurant, Vegan, Vegetarian, Indian, French, Pastries
The Taj Mahal is listed as one of the best choices in Dijon by the Vegetarian Association in France for their thoughtfulness to vegetarians. The menu offers dishes flavored with aromatic spices, Indian pastry and cardamom tea. Some comments refer to extended waits during peak hours and the somewhat idiosyncratic décor.
