A bold new vegetarian destination blending neo-bistro cooking, street food influences, and Japanese-inspired flavors.

Three floors facing Carreau du Temple, 140 seats indoors, 60 seats on the terrace—and still not a single piece of meat or fish in sight. Welcome to Maslow Temple, the latest addition to the Maslow universe, opening at 32 Rue de Picardie.
The more observant among you may recognize the address as the former home of Grand Duc; history enthusiasts may know it as a 19th-century workshop distinguished by its riveted Eiffel-style metal framework. This is the third venture from the trio behind Maslow—Julia Chican, Marine Ricklin, and Mehdi Favri—following the success of the original Maslow and Fellows.
The space is dressed in deep carmine red (much like fellow vegetarian hotspot Daimant Saint-Honoré—plant-based dining is clearly embracing a bold aesthetic) and introduces a menu entirely distinct from its sister restaurants.
Expect influences ranging from neo-bistro cuisine to street food and Japanese cooking. Dishes include a mushroom pithivier with rich reduced jus, a sesame-infused “Paris-Beyrouth,” crispy potato churros, okonomiyaki made with pointed cabbage, and oyster mushroom tempura.
The commitment goes far beyond the décor. By eliminating meat and focusing exclusively on seasonal ingredients sourced from farms located within 200 kilometers of Paris, Maslow claims that the carbon footprint of a meal is four times lower than that of a typical restaurant.
All that remains is to find out whether what’s good for the planet is just as good for the taste buds.
