GO HERE - Edit
This restaurant is exactly what you pray it is - amazing French vegan food. Honestly, it was so hard to pick what to get. The waiter suggested Escargot and Coq Au Vin. Of course, he said he could only one favorite. It has been so long since I had proper French food. I could have cried. Come here!! 🥹❤️

Great french cuisine - Edit
I used to really dread going to france due to the lack and/or quality of vegan food there. So i was curious how an all vegan french place in NYC would do it.
Read moreHad the oyster mushroom “snails” as appetizer, steak with truffle oil fries and orange creme brûlée. Everything was delicious. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Obsessed with the crepes! - Edit
@delicesarrasin is a must go if you are looking for vegan French cuisine in NYC!
Read moreIts one of our absolute favorites from when we lived in NYC. We enjoy it both for brunch and dinner. Excited to see their much bigger and gorgeous location on West Houston Street!
We ordered the Oeuf Meurette a la Bourguignonne with Poached "@yoeggfoods" in a rich red wine sauce, "bacon" and Parisian mushrooms. So rich amd delicious!
Tomate et Fromage Bluffonne burrata was so light and refreshing. And a dreamy Mr Rabelais with toulouse "sausage", Parisian mushrooms, mustard cream and coconut emmental cheese. So rich and creamy.
The savory crepes are my absolute favorite. I am obsessed with Mr. Seguin, but wanted to try some new dishes this time. Coq au Vin, Boeuf Bourguignon are also my dinner favorites.

Incredible French vegan restaurant - Edit
Vegan meets authentic French classics - delicious and traditional - we had the onion soup which was so cheesy and satisfying and for mains coq au vin and beef bourguignon - so hearty. I lived in France before being vegan and would definitely say this place gives you all the traditional French flavours albeit in a kinder way - would definitely recommend!
Read morePros: Tasty , Authentic French
Cons: Slightly on the pricey side

French feast in new digs - Edit
Loved the old small location which was quaint and charming . They moved to a larger space and personally I think the decor is awful. Very low end furnishings that look like they came from the Salvation Army or thrift store, quite dated especially for a place that is trying to be more on the end of fine dining.
Read moreHaving said this the service is excellent and the food still quite good. Last time we came was in the afternoon for coffee and a crepe and the flavor was right in even though my crepe was cold when I got it.
Their cheese plates are great and if you like rich flavorful food it’s a good spot.
Looks better at night when it’s dark and the lighting is dim which makes for a romantic atmosphere I guess…

Nice! - Edit
Lovely staff, general vibe feels a bit Disneyland rather than France :D
Read moreI really loved the onion soup, the cheese was sooo melty!
The escargot felt a bit gimmicky but I am glad I got to try this dish in my life. The bread that came with it was delicious 😋

Decline in quality - Edit
I came here last six years ago and the food was very good. Today stopped in for a crepe. It tastes like a wholewheat wrap stuffed with acidic apple, plastic-tasting ice cream with a drizzle of syrup that was supposed to be salted caramel but just tasted like sugar water. $15 for the experience, it was very disappointing. At least the location looks very French.

Flavorful and unique - Edit
It's not easy to get vegan versions of French food and this place did it well. My omni in-laws loved it. The beef bourginion is made with a rich gravy and the texture of the vegan beef was good too. The escalope (a meati mushroom cutlet) was topped with a lovely truffle cheese and the cheesy spinach was a nice side. If I had realized it was a store bought cutlet (they don't hide the fact, I just wasn't paying attention), I would have probably chosen something else, but nonetheless, quite good. An absolute must is the baked brie starter! The cheese plate was very good too albeit quite small.
Read moreI was only disappointed with the wine. It was just okay and with the tip and taxes, came out to an extremely ouchy $100 when it retails for about $20. Wasn't worth it at all, but the food definitely is. Wish I had room for the crepes...

Had an absolutely incredible meal here, wow - Edit
Came here for brunch, wish we could have sampled more of this menu. I can’t believe how delicious everything was. The poached egg dish blew us away—I don’t know how they made that egg but it was magical, it tasted just like an egg and the yoke ran and it was just perfect 🥲 the crepes we had were freaking delicious also. The place is so charming, we felt like we were in Europe, and if this place was closer to us we’d come back over and over. Honestly one of the best meals I think we ever had. It was that good. We are gonna have to make sure to come back the next time we are in NYC for dinner and try some of the entrees!! Also service was lovely. What a gem of a spot!

Yum! - Edit
I am also gluten free and had the vegan cheese plate, Brussels sprouts, and chocolate mousse. I was so excited to find a dessert I could eat, because I can’t eat sugar! The vegan cheese was amazing!! The taste and texture were just like their dairy counterparts! The mousse had a wonderful hint of orange. I found a new favorite go-to for every time I’m in NYC!

Good but not worth $$ - Edit
My teen daughter and I dined early on a Monday night. The waiter was polite and attentive. We had the Vegan escargot, which was very good. I had the beif bourginon, which was very good but a bit too salty. Of there was bread on the side that would have helped balance it out. My daughter had the steak frite, which she enjoyed. We shared the creme brulee. The caramelized sugar on top was not crunchy and the orange flavor was a bit too strong.
Read moreMy main issues did not have to do with the food, though. My daughter arrived before me. There were only 2 other tables occupied, but they sat us at the table closest to the bathroom. Maybe they were just trying to spread us farther from the other diners. But it didn't feel cool, especially since we were the only patrons who were people of color. Also, for the price of the restaurant, I was disappointed in the lack of tablecloths, the use of paper rather than cloth napkins. Also, we had leftovers that we wanted to bring home and I was surprised that we had to box our own food. Not what I generally experience at a high end restaurant.
I'm glad I went back doubt I'll be back.

Ratatouille and French onion soup - Edit
Empty for lunch on July 4th. Burn your mouth vegan Gruyère cheese tastes great. All vegan of course. The ratatouille is a big spicy. And both dishes are salty

Good - Edit
Delice et sarrasin had incredible service, which really made the experience amazing! We really enjoyed everything we ate: the ratatouille was probably the crowd favorite, it had a really great smoky flavor that was super delicious! We also enjoyed the crab cake and the escargot. To anyone going, I would rec the escargot and the ratatouille for sure! We finished the dinner with the orange creme brûlée, which had an amazing citrusy flavor but a slightly odd gelatinous texture. Overall great experience and great food! I will be returning soon to try their other offerings!

French vegan cuisine - Edit
The food was interesting. I really liked the steak. The texture was very "meaty." I liked the flavour as well. Cheese pancace was not too bad as well. I did have better vegan cheeses before, not too big of a fan that pancace itself was sweet a bit.
Read moreThe tables are too close, feels like you are sitting with other people.
Pros: Steak and truffle fries, The fact that there is vegan french cuisine.
Cons: Tables too close, Creme brule was cold and tasted like store bought

Deliciously Vegan & Authentic French Cuisine - Edit
This hole in the wall restaurant serves deliciously authentic vegan French food. They have a decently sized menu with a large variety of foods including sweet and savoury crepes (as pictured), faux meats and much more. The food will leave you satisfied and definitely ready to take some home. They also have gluten-free options, their sweet crepes are naturally gluten-free and the savoury crepes can be made gluten-free upon request. The menu clearly dictates a number of allergens to help customers choose the best dish suited for their needs. This restaurant is incredibly expensive so keep this in mind when visiting. I would love to go once more to try more of their menu but I would keep in mind the cost.
Read morePros: Depicts allergens clearly on menu, Authentic French cuisine , Offers Gluten-free options clearly on menu
