Halfway between République and Strasbourg-Saint-Denis, “the” shop that all vegetarians and vegans (and those who wish to reduce their meat consumption) have been waiting for has just opened.

An exclusively vegetarian local business (with many vegan products) based on homemade preparations and artisanal products.

At the head of this “Bouchée Végé”, there is a duo of long-time friends, Manon and Marie, and then Julie, behind the stove who concocts the catering preparations for the window.

The day we were there, there were bean-miso pancakes, vegetable balls and a mushroom terrine. Not forgetting, a lemon cake and a decadent pear-cardamom cake.

Bouchée Végé's approach is to use only artisanal products. Alongside the house preparations: local tofu and artisanal “imitation meats” (plant-based food substitutes that resemble meat).

Everything is purchased by weight and you can use returnable containers or bring your own. Here, anti-waste is a philosophy.

We use all the vegetables and the delicatessen products are used in the kitchen before they expire. Zero waste!

There are also some dishes and sandwiches at lunch, to take away or to eat on site. You can complete your basket with some carefully sourced canned goods and delicatessen products.

A warm and welcoming place. Everything we expect from a neighborhood business, in short.

Almonds, walnuts and peanuts: Rifai, the king of nuts

It's high time to take peanuts seriously! This nut has not always been treated with the respect due to its rank. Fortunately, Rifai, who succeeds the A la Ville de Rodez food store which has been located on rue Vieille-du-Temple for a century, is there to right this injustice.
