There are a bunch of vegetarian options at Maceo. Three entrees and a number of starters. That's rare at any restaurant, especially in Paris, so it was a real treat.
The food was excellent. We were stated with an amuse boush of white asparagus soup with sesame. I could have had a whole bowl of this.
I had the parsnip veloute to start. It was warm and sophisticated with coriander and orange flower oil adding subtle and lovely notes to it.
For my main, I did a quinoa galette, which was a sort of quinoa cake that was soft inside with a crunchy crust. It was very filling, flavorful, and complemented with beautiful veggies.
Then things started to go downhill. We waited an hour after dessert was cleared to get our check. The tables next to us also had long waits, sitting with dirty plates or dessert menus for half an hour. We felt intentionally ignored. When they finally came to charge our card, almost 90 minutes after we finished, IB13 asked if we had done something wrong, and they explained that there had been a theft from the upstairs of the restaurant. I believe this, as we noticed a lot of upset conversation among the waitstaff, but it was still a frustrating night. That said, I don't expect this was typical service. If you are looking for a place with good vegetarian options along with a wide range of non-veggie food, Maceo is definitely a spot to check out.
Make reservations. At 7:30 we were early, but the restaurant was full by the time we finished at 9pm and when we finally left at 10:30.
