The spirit
Flexitarian, without the label
Eating flexitarian isn't about going without: it's about putting the vegetable back at the centre of the plate and keeping meat and fish for what they truly add. At Berchoux, that's how we've cooked since day one.
The result: food that pleases everyone, from the committed carnivore to the passing vegetarian. We don't lecture, we please — with seasonal produce and flavour at every service. This cooking is best discovered at the table, in our restaurant in Paris 18, steps from Lamarck-Caulaincourt metro.
Our flexitarism
Three simple principles that guide every plate served in Montmartre.
Vegetables first
Seasonal vegetables take centre stage, treated as more than a side: they carry the dish — colourful, crunchy, generous.
Meat in its place
Meat and fish stay on the menu, carefully chosen and served when they truly belong on the plate — never out of habit.
Nothing wasted
Anti-waste cooking: peelings put to use, tops and trimmings cooked. Respect for produce goes all the way, from market to plate.
On the plate
What's on the menu
A short menu that turns with the seasons, homemade from starter to dessert.
Starters & bowls
Composed bowls, roasted vegetables, pulses and good seeds: a light start that's never dull.
Daily specials
A plant-based dish and one with meat or fish every day, plated to order, following the chalkboard.
Sandwiches & toasts
Characterful breads, honest fillings and homemade sauces: lunch on the go, chic-canteen style.
Homemade desserts
The carrot cake made on site heads the bill, plus seasonal treats that change with our cravings.
The table
Homemade, generous, seasonal
Everything starts with fresh produce prepped each morning. No vacuum-packed dishes, no shortcuts: we cook on site, like at home, but with the rigour of a brigade.
At lunch and in the evening, the menu stays short and honest. It changes with the market, adapts to vegetarian diets and allergies, and is happily shared in the middle of the table.
The chef
Thirty years of stars, a neighbourhood canteen
Julie Berchoux spent thirty years in Michelin-starred kitchens, alongside houses such as Robuchon, Ducasse, Taillevent and Fauchon, before opening her flexitarian canteen in Montmartre.
That standard is what she now brings to everyday cooking: the same respect for produce as in fine dining, at the service of plates that are simple, warm and well made.

Frequently asked questions
What is a flexitarian restaurant?
A flexitarian restaurant puts the vegetable at the centre of the plate while keeping meat and fish on the menu. At Berchoux we've cooked this way from the start: plants in the spotlight, animal products in their rightful place.
Is it suitable if I'm vegetarian?
Yes. There are always fully plant-based options on the menu, and we gladly adapt dishes to vegetarian diets and allergies. The simplest thing is to tell us when you order.
And if I eat meat?
You're in the right place too. Every day, a dish with meat or fish sits alongside the plant-based one: flexitarism is precisely about pleasing everyone at the same table.
Is the cooking really homemade?
Yes, everything is cooked on site from fresh, seasonal produce, from starter to dessert — including our homemade carrot cake. No vacuum-packed dishes, no shortcuts.
Can I come for a quick lunch?
Of course. Bowls, sandwiches, toasts and the daily special are available to eat in or take away, for a fast but well-made lunch, chic-canteen style.
Where is the restaurant?
At 16 rue de la Fontaine du But, in the 18th arrondissement, right in the heart of Montmartre, minutes from the Sacré-Cœur, Abbesses and Pigalle.
