  • This was my FAVORITE meal in Paris 🤩❤️ (Baja para español) While we ate lots of delicious food, our meal at Potager du Marais was the one I was most looking forward to and it did not disappoint. I love mushroom bourguignon, so this seitan bourguignon was calling my name. I had it with potatoes au gratin. I absolutely loved it. Somehow the seitan was buttery soft, you could cut it with a fork. And the potatoes were amazing 🤤 I did add a bit of salt and pepper, but that’s just me being salty 😂 Juance had the veggie lasagna, which was also great. And to top it off, we had the apricot creme brûlée. This restaurant is VERY small and popular, so reservations are a must. You can call or email for reservations (I suggest you email in either French or English). To be honest, I had read mixed reviews and almost skipped it, but Juance convinced me otherwise, and I’m so glad. Esta fue mi comida FAVORITA de París. A pesar de haber comido muchas comidas ricas, esta cena en Potager du Marais era la más que estaba esperando, y no decepcionó. Me fascina el bourguignon de setas, así que este bourguignon de seitán me estaba llamando. Lo acompañé con papas au gratin (gratinadas). Me encantó. De alguna manera el seitán estaba tan suave que se podía cortar con un tenedor. Y las papas estaban deliciosas. Juance comió la lasaña de vegetales que también estaba muy rica. Y de postre pedimos un creme brûlée de albaricoque. Este restaurante es BIEN pequeño, así que las reservaciones son necesarias. Puedes hacerlas llamando o enviando un email (recomiendo que lo redactes en inglés o francés). Para ser sincera, había leído críticas mixtas y por poco lo paso por alto, pero Juance le convenció y estoy contenta de haberle hecho caso jaja
  • We are finally back in Austin, so I will keep posting about our vegan meals in Paris. We started out our day in Le Marais eating lunch after going to the Atelier de Lumières show at VG Patisserie. It’s a small vegan café with savory items and lots of pastries. We had the pizza, the veggie stuffed croissant and the quiche. 🍕🥐 It was very very good. And we finished off with some strawberry cake, flan, and a latte. I really loved the desserts. 🍰 Don’t overlook this patisserie if you’re in Le Marais! .......................................... Ya estamos de vuelta en Austin así que seguiré compartiendo nuestras comidas veganas en París. Comenzamos nuestro día en Le Marais almorzando en VG Patisserie, un café que vende comida y postres. Comimos la pizza, el croissant relleno de vegetales, y el quiche. 🍕🥐 Estaba muy rico. Y terminamos con un bizcocho (tarta/pastel) de fresas, flan, y un latte 🍰 Me encantaron los postres. No dejen pasar esta patisserie si están en Le Marais! 🤗
  • Tonight, as the night before last, we had a homecooked meal here in Paris🍝 Since we’ve been going to the tennis French Open, we’ve been getting to the airbnb apartment at around 9:00pm. By that time we are tired and it’s cumbersome to drag ourselves to a vegan/vegan option restaurant that’s not so close, which may or may not be open. We have a 24 hr Carrefour (grocery store) and a Naturalia (organic and vegan options grocery store) on our same block. So for tonight we got a package of precooked vegan gnocchi, pre-marinated tomato tofu, tomato and basil sauce, and spinach. Our airbnb has pots and pans, so I made this red sauce gnocchi with pan fried tofu and wilted spinach 😋 It turned out so good. And so quick to whip up. The night before last I made the same thing but with whole wheat pasta. So if you’re staying at an airbnb, this is a good way to eat vegan and save some money in the process. Bonsoir! ☺️
  • Bonjour again! (Ver abajo para español) Day 3 of our Paris trip ended at Montmartre, the most charming place I’ve ever seen. 💕 At the end of our walking self tour of the “arrondissement”, we ate at Abattoir Végétal. It is a small but cute sit-down restaurant decorated with so many plants! We had the maffé végétal, a vegetable stew, and a burger with tofu “patty”. And for dessert we had the tiramisu. To be honest, the burger was underwhelming. The tofu was small and rather bland. However, the vegetable stew was absolutely delicious 🤤 For my Puerto Rican friends, it was very similar to sancocho. And the tiramisu was the perfect way to end the meal and the long day of walking. All in all, this restaurant is a must, especially if you are visiting Montmartre. I have to stress the fact that the place is small, and I highly recommend making reservations. I used lafourchette.com for almost all my reservations. El tercer día de nuestro viaje a París terminó en Montmartre, el lugar más encantador que jamás haya visto. Luego de nuestro propio “tour” caminando por el “arrondissement”, cenamos en Abattoir Végétal. Es un restaurante pequeño decorado con la plantas 🌱 Comimos el maffé végétal, un tipo de guiso de vegetales, y un “burger” de tofú. Y de postre, el tiramisú. Si les soy sincera, el “burger” estuvo algo decepcionante. El pedazo tofú era pequeño y estaba algo soso. Sin embargo, el guiso de vegetales estaba delicioso 🤤 Se parecía mucho a un sancocho. Y el tiramisú fue la manera perfecta de terminar la cena y el largo día. Dentro de todo, si estás por Montmartre deberías considerar este restaurante. Tengo que reiterar que el lugar es pequeño, así que recomiendo que hagas una reservación. Yo usé lafourchette.com para casi todas las reservaciones.
  • Bonsoir! For day three in Paris, we had lunch at Maisie Café. (Abajo para español) We went there after visiting the Musée d’Orsay. It’s a short, 10 minute walk from there. The café is really cute and the menu includes salads, sandwiches, soups, drinks, and pastries. All vegan! I had the thai salad that had wild rice, greens, tofu, and a sesame sauce, and also a tomato mustard tarte (my favorite!). Juance had the giant focaccia sandwich haha. It was all very tasty and light. It made us feel really good and ready for the rest of the day. Hope you keep them in mind when you’re in Paris! . Bonsoir! En el día tres en París almorzamos en Maisie Café. Fuimos luego de visitar el Musée d’Orsay. Está a 10 minutos caminando. El café está muy chulo y el menú incluye ensaladas, sándwiches, sopas, bebidas, y dulces. Todo vegano! Yo comí la ensalada thai, que incluía arroz, ensalada verde, tofu, y una salsa de sésamo, también comí una tarta de tomate y mostaza (mi favorito!). Juance comió el sándwich gigante de focaccia. Todo estuvo delicioso y bien liviano. Nos sentimos súper bien y listos para el resto del día. . . #plantbasedboricua #vegan #plantbased #travel #vegansinparis #veganparis #plantbasedparis #paris #veganblogger
  • Last night we had dinner at Le Potager de Charlotte, close-ish to Le Arc du Triomphe. ✨ It was delicious, the ambiance was really cool, and the decoration was spot-on. We had a grilled romaine lettuce with garlic cream and an avocado filled with “deviled egg” style avocado cream as starters 😋 For the entrées we had a millet with roasted asparagus with golden curry madras cream and green pea cream with einkorn wheat. I think the appetizers shined in this meal. Everything was delicious, but that grilled romaine and the freakishly real-tasting “deviled egg” were amazing. Also, for dessert we had a really refreshing strawberry rhubarb coulis with fresh strawberries and vanilla cashew cream. Really yummy and not heavy at all. This restaurant is a bit out of the way from touristy areas but that only makes it more charming. Also, it is really easy to get to by metro. Their menu changes, but you can follow them on Facebook to keep up! This is a great vegan dinner spot that you should definitely keep in mind while in Paris. #paris #plantbasedboricua #veganinparis #vegan #plantbased #vacations
  • Bonjour friends! (Español en los comentarios) I had been dreaming of going to Paris for so long, but now that I’m vegan I wondered if I’d be able to eat anywhere! Well, this was our first meal at an all-vegan restaurant and it was so delicious. Cloud Cakes is close to the Musée du Louvre. We had the bowl (mexican inspired with no-meat chili), the salad (with korean noodles, greens, tofu, and peanut sauce), and avocado toast. We aso had carrot cake for dessert, yum! 🧁 The star of the meal was this salad though. 🤤 I WOULD recommend. I will be posting more vegan meals we eat in Paris. It takes some planning, but it IS possible to eat vegan and delicious in Paris. #plantbasedboricua #boricuainparis #veganinparis #plantbased #paris #vegan
  • Happy Easter! 🐣 It was a beautiful day for grilling, so we went for vegan burgers (Beyond Burger and P Terry’s vegan burger), cauliflower steaks, and corn on the cob 😋 Hope you had a great day with family and friends ❤️ #plantbasedboricua #easter #grilling #vegangrilling #veganburger
  • Tengo noticias! I have news! (Scroll down for English) Publiqué mi primera tanda de recetas en español! 🙌🏼 Cuando comencé Plant Based Boricua quería compartir recetas de comidas puertorriqueñas veganizadas, ya que me sentía que luego de cambiar mi dieta, no estaba comiendo comidas criollas. El blog empezó en inglés porque vivo en Texas, pero siempre quise que fuera una página bilingüe, así que di el primer paso. Eventualmente podrás cambiar la página de inglés a español y viceversa. Pero por ahora, añadí una pestaña de”recetas” a la página, donde estarán las mismas recetas que he publicado en inglés, en español. Ve al link en el profile para verlo! Gracias por el apoyo! ❤️🌱 I just published my first round of recipes in Spanish! When I started Plant Based Boricua I wanted to share veganized versions of Puerto Rican recipes, since I felt I wasn’t eating as much food from home after changing to a vegan diet. The blog started in English since I live in Texas, but I’ve always wanted the page to be bilingual, so I took the first step. Eventually you will be able to toggle the page between English and Spanish. But for now I added a tab called “recetas” which will house all the recipes but in Spanish. Thanks for all the support!
