A guide by Gillian McKeith
Eat well.
Everywhere.
Every restaurant here is selected against one standard: plant-forward cooking, organic and seasonal sourcing, wholefood ingredients, and honesty about where the produce comes from. If a kitchen does not meet it, it is not in the guide.

42 Degrés, Paris
42 Degrés takes its name from the temperature above which it will not heat food, and the result is unexpectedly refined: layered vegetable lasagne, fermented nut cheeses, cold-pressed juices. A rare Paris address for anyone eating raw who still wants to eat well.
From Gillian
"I have spent twenty years telling people to eat real food. This guide holds restaurants to the same standard I hold a kitchen at home: plants in the lead, organic and seasonal produce, wholefoods rather than powders, and no vagueness about where any of it came from. Meet that, and you are in. Do not, and you are not."
