Bonnard: the bistronomic and vegetarian restaurant in Paris' Marais district

If you're an avowed carnivore, then you'd better move on. Here, we're talking about a vegetarian restaurant where plant-based cuisine takes pride of place on the plates. Welcome to Bonnard. Nestled in the heart of Paris's Marais district, this bistronomic restaurant boasts a short menu of gourmet, tasty and inventive vegetarian dishes.

Behind this new Parisian restaurant, with its bright, modern decor, is Adrien Riboud, who has been a proud vegetarian for several years, and who was inspired to create an address that matched his desires. To tickle his customers' taste buds, he called on Chef Eliott Guigou. Having worked at " La Grande Cascade " in Paris, " The Lecture Room & Library " in London and " Bozar " in Brussels, Eliott Guigou has a wealth of experience in France and abroad. Today, the chef, who loves precision and the marriage of flavors, officiates at Bonnard. His passion? Vegetables, of course, which he works on organically, sourcing as much as possible from local market gardeners.

For this Parisian restaurant, Eliott Guigou has devised a seasonal, ultra-gourmet menu. Highlights include carrot velouté with coconut milk and ginger, Jerusalem artichoke chips and cabbage with a blackcurrant reduction.

That evening, we chose to start the tasting with a pumpkin velouté, topped with chestnut pieces and a frosted chantilly, not forgetting its truffled tartine. A very nice, sweet and tasty starter. But our favorite is the delicious beet rose on buckwheat shortbread with horseradish cream. Perfectly dressed, this dish is a great success!

We continue the gustatory pleasure with a second favorite: butternut gnocchi with green peppercorn parmesan cream and a few pieces of fresh chestnuts. The whole thing is concealed under a parmesan emulsion! An ultra-tasty vegetarian delight that's devoured in seconds.

Opposite, macaroni au gratin with delicate slices of fresh black truffle and yellow wine jus. Once again, a gourmet delight.

To end on a sweet note, which we highly recommend, let yourself be tempted by the excellent pear poached in spiced red wine, or by the generous and inescapable Baba au rhum accompanied by its Madagascar vanilla chantilly. To die for!

To accompany all this, Restaurant Bonnard suggests a few carefully selected quilles, in perfect harmony with the dishes on offer, and mostly from biodynamic agriculture.

With its intimate setting and cuisine that's as creative as it is gourmet, Bonnard truly ranks among the vegetarian restaurants of the moment to discover in Paris!
