The story
Qasti Green is the 100% vegetarian sibling of Alan Geaam’s beloved Qasti bistrots, bringing the same honest Lebanese cooking to a plant-based audience. Set on rue des Jeûneurs in the 2nd arrondissement, this light-filled space offers a menu built entirely around vegetables, grains, and legumes – without sacrificing depth or generosity.
The guiding philosophy is shared with the other Qasti addresses: food that carries the flavours of a childhood in Lebanon, served with the relaxed codes of a Parisian bistro. “A cuisine of origin, shaped by personal influences,” as the team describes it. For this edition, that means reimagining classic mezzés and dishes without meat, relying on slow-cooked vegetables, fresh herbs, pulses, and sesame.
The menu changes with the seasons, but the structure remains flexible. At lunch, a weekday formula offers two mezzés from the current selection – the style is to graze and share. For dinner, the Qasti Menu lets you choose three cold or hot mezzés followed by a dessert. Standouts from the wider Qasti repertoire (adapted to vegetarian versions) include falafels, batata harra (spiced potatoes), fatayer filled with spinach, and a chou-fleur frit with tarator sesame sauce.
Sunday brings a Lebanese brunch, entirely vegetarian: a buffet of cold and warm mezzés, a hot dish, then pastries, fruit, and fresh-pressed juices. It’s a convivial way to experience the kitchen’s range.
Qasti Green earned its first Michelin recommendation in 2026, praised for the sincerity of its cooking and the clarity of its vegetarian focus. In a city where Lebanese food is often meat-heavy, this bistro stands out for proving that vegetables can carry the same aromatic power – and for doing so with the same warm hospitality that defines the Qasti family.
