Wedged as it is between one neighboring building’s courtyard gate and a larger restaurant to the other side, the little yellow awning of this purely vegetarian, organic, macrobiotic eatery might be overshadowed spacially speaking, but big tastes await inside.

The restaurant has received a wealth of attention for its health conscious menu—achieving a delicate balance between the use of all natural, locally sourced produce and ingredients to concoct dishes that taste devilishly diet-demolishing without being so. Le Potager du Marais entices diners with a range of lunch and dinner options, from appetizers like the eggplant “caviar” to rich desserts like their Tarte Tatin flambée. While we suggest you begin and end your meal with these items, treat yourself to any of the many appetizing entrees in between. Vegetarians never had it so good.
