ONA is a vegan restaurant in Arès, France[2] owned by chef Claire Vallée and is the first vegan restaurant to receive a Michelin star.[3] The name stands for origine non-animale[4] and the restaurant uses no animal products in its food, decorations or furnishings. ONA was opened in 2016 by Vallée, a self-taught chef, and offers a seven-course tasting menu.[5][6] 95% of its clientele is neither vegan nor vegetarian, the chef said in 2021.[1]

History

Vallée opened the restaurant using loans from an "ethical bank" and crowdfunding. The Michelin Guide for 2021 awarded ONA one Michelin star, a first among vegan restaurants.[5][7] ONA was also one of 33 restaurants in France to receive a Green Star,[8] a new category by the Michelin Guide awarded for sustainable practices.[3] In 2018, the restaurant had been awarded a Michelin Fork.[6]
