Few hours and the weekend begins, the question is: How can we avoid to waste our time? The Gavarni hotel knows the right answer. Check out the 25th Edition of the Salon Vivre Autrement, trade fair made for Eco-citizens like you.

A Year devoted to Eco-settlements and Organic Agriculture
For the 25 time, this ethical trade fair suggests a couple of eye-opening workshops liven up by people who live already differently. Of course, novelties have been scheduled like an Eco-settlements side, and workshops based on Organic Agriculture. Take part in 50 practical workshops about various themes as organic cuisine, detox diet, recycling and even gardening. More than 400 exhibitors are ready to share their know-how and experiences. On March 16th you’re going to start a new life!

Time for a lunch break with your friends after sale shopping? Off to the Family Café! This charming restaurant serves unique, light and tasty menus all day long. The dishes are generous and healthy, steam-cooked for some of them. Those of you on a strict diet will find special lean cuisine while the others will take a sheer delight in tasting the fresh ravioli with Parmesan cream, eggplant millefeuille and raw ham. To treat yourself without guilt, the mango tartar zabaglione is perfect for dessert. With a terrace, a charming reception, the continuous service and low prices, it has become the new HQ for trendy Parisians.

In the 1st arrondissement of Paris, two steps away from the Opera Garnier is a charming Bobo and organic restaurant. The concept? Gather five uprising chefs of French gastronomy, an organic and tasteful cuisine based on fresh products for an affordable price! Anne-Sophie Pic, Christophe Michalak, Emmanuel Renault, Frédéric Bau and Gilles Goujon answered to the call of Vincent Ferniot and invented new recipes adapted to the concept of Boco: fresh pineapple ratatouille, “farm-like” blanquette of chicken or creamy mango-passion fruit cheesecake, the result is the same, we want more! Boco combines the guarantee of quality recipes and cuisine with healthy and organic products – the restaurant commits to only using organically-grown ingredients. A delivery service, take-away and a delicatessen add up to the numerous assets of this genuine organic restaurant in Paris. Why not discover it for a lunch break during your shopping trip?

Open from Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 8.30 pm.
About €20 for a complete meal.

Bioboa is a little restaurant on rue Montmartre where, as the name indicates, essentially organically-grown products are served. With a chic and refined design, the dinning room is fitted with comfortable armchairs and beautiful original chandeliers in contrast with the walls. In our plates, almost everything is organic! From fruit juice to hamburgers, gaspacho and even beer! Will you fall for the Creamy Gambas Risotto or the Vegetarian Burger? The “Bioba” herb beef salad maybe?
The Petit Bioboa, annexe to the restaurant, sells take-away and delicatessen products. On the menu, vegetable sandwiches, fresh fruit juice and quinoa-based dishes. An original and natural cuisine, quality products: a true bobo dinner in the heart of one of the most beautiful areas in Paris… What else?

Open from Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 2 am.
Allow between 15 and 20 Euros for lunch.

Halfway between a café, a restaurant and delicatessen, the Hope Café has it all to please the most fervent environmentalists. You can find myriads of good organic products such as fruit and vegetables of the season, jams, wines and other beers. It’s also a great place to drink a glass of fresh fruit juice or to grab a bite of the international cuisine, for example seaweed maki or five tomato salads, while leaning on a standing table proudly set in the middle of the room. Extra bright yellow facade, wooden floors, steel bar, decorative columns and red brick walls, the Hope Café seems to come straight out of Brooklyn. But you can only have a glass of organic Rhône Saint-Estève d’Uchaux for 3 euros in Paris!

The Hope Café is open from Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 12 am and on Sundays from 10 am to 4.30 pm for brunch.
Prices: Set menu at 16€. A la carte, allow about 25€. Brunch at 17€.
