What is Best Veggie Tables?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Hello everyone, I’m Laurence. A vegetarian for over 20 years, I’ve been lucky enough to see things change and evolve in a positive way in the field of plant-based cooking. <\/p>\n

As a lover of good food, I love making new discoveries.<\/p>\n

Even if today it’s “easier” to find a vegetarian restaurant, it’s still not easy to know the quality of each one. I don’t trust Tripadvisor any more, following a number of unpleasant surprises. <\/p>\n

Thanks to me, you’ll know which restaurants offer top-of-the-range, even gourmet, vegetarian cuisine, or simply where to eat healthy, quality food at an affordable price.<\/p>\n

I only focus on positive reviews: the aim is not to criticize restaurants, but to highlight those that demonstrate inventiveness in terms of vegetarian and\/or vegan cuisine.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For me, it’s a cuisine that respects nature and animals, and is not a substitute cuisine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I’ve been a vegetarian for over 20 years. I do, however, have a sensible consumption of animal products (cheese, milk, eggs) and tend to cook vegan dishes. <\/p>\n

The problem I see today, in France but also in other countries, is that it’s difficult to know whether the cheese contains animal rennet (as a reminder, rennet is an enzyme that comes from the calf’s stomach and is added to cheese to make it more digestible) or whether the desserts are made with gelatin. In Germany and the UK, when we speak of vegetarianism, we find cheese made with microbial rennet, cheeses whose baby animals are not separated from their mothers… The animal cause is therefore much more advanced. <\/p>\n

As far as vegan cooking is concerned, I really don’t like the mass of processed products packed with additives and which don’t necessarily provide the body with the right nutrients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I feel that vegetarian and vegan cuisine is not sufficiently promoted. To remedy this, I’ve decided to set up this website so that you can discover the restaurants I’ve tested and approved. <\/p>\n

I’ve got lots more surprises in store for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For me, cooking should not only be good for our bodies, but also respectful of the environment. That’s why you won’t find restaurants on my site that use industrial, processed foods. I also want to put the spotlight on small-scale producers, those who struggle on a daily basis, and show you that today, it’s still possible to eat healthy produce. <\/p>\n

Suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, I had to rethink a lot of things in my diet to stop suffering. That’s why I banned all processed foods. Over the years, I’ve come to realize how easy it is to make a lot of things myself. <\/p>\n

To take my approach a step further, and because I feel a deep need to connect with nature, I became a beekeeper 2 years ago.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs you can see, I want to do more than just offer a site with vegetarian restaurants. Eventually, I’ll be offering you more recipes, meetings with top chefs and guidance in plant-based nutrition.
