Parfait

Le lieu est accueillant, le service très bienveillant et chaleureux.
Les plats sont des spécialités françaises, ce qui est agréable si on souhaite manger local, je recommande la blanquette avec le gratin dauphinois !
Nous avons aussi goûté les lasagnes aux épinards ainsi que le bourguignon, et lors d'autres visites nous avons pu tester pratiquement tous les plats, tout est absolument succulent ! De l'entrée au dessert.
C'est un incontournable pour moi quand je vais à Paris.

Trop surcôté

Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est. Je m'attendais à des classiques de la gastronomie mais c'est de la cuisine basique. Les plats arrivent beaucoup trop vite pour que ça soit tout de la cuisine maison, ça ressemble à du réchauffé, sortie de conserves etc.
Déçue par rapport aux autres avis.

Cons: Le prix n'est pas justifié, de l'entrée au dessert

Incroyable et authentique

Dès la porte d’entrée passée, les odeurs des bons petits plats mijotés vous chatouillent les narines. Un pur régal de l’entrée eu dessert. Je suis très fier d’avoir pu connaître cette adresse. De la décoration authentique et rustique à la nourriture exquise, je suis conquis

Pros: La décoration , L’accueil chaleureux, La nourriture authentique et délicieuse

Amazing French vegan food

This is the kind of place where I'd happily have a taste of every dish on the menu if I could. I had the boeuf bourguignon and apple pie and it was so delicious!

French but a bit bland

Went here as a group of 4 vegans. We were really excited to try authentic vegan French food! Alas, we were a bit let down by the food.
I got the French Onion soup, as that was one of my favorite dishes in my past life. The bread and cheese topping was good, but the broth was kind of bland. Needs a stronger flavor.

My partner got the Roast Potato with Olive Tapenade, which was the best dish at the table. We kinda expected diced roasted potatoes, but the whole potato was fine.

Our friends got the Seitan Bourguignon, and the sauce was also bland. The Seitan had a sponge-like texture.

The service was quick and we had no problems with that. Just wish the food had been more flavorful.

Pros: Quick service, Prices reasonable

Cons: Bland food

Bon mais pas classique

Restaurant qui annonce revisiter en végane les plats traditionnels, mais ce qu'on a mangé avait un twist un peu indien. La crêpe aux poireaux était aussi au curry et les goulash était blindé de coriandre.
Staff très sympa, jolie déco. Le restaurant est ouvert jusqu'à 15h, c'est cool.

Disappointing

I was so looking forward to to try french vegan food so I ordered the bourguignon de seitan and I couldn’t even eat half of it because it had a super strong cumin taste and that’s probably the one spice I dislike the most, I just can’t stand it, it tasted more like Indian food if you ask me. I don’t think a beef bourguignon should have that strong cumin taste so I do not recommend that at all. I was also not very nicely welcomed because I didn’t know they closed at 3:00pm and it was like 2:30, so I got out of there as soon as I could, before 3:00pm, so disappointed that I didn’t even wanted to have dessert.

Confused and would give one star if I could

Not sure why this place has so many good reviews.

Food came out almost straight away after ordering, which is suspicious in itself. Typically the food is cold.

Some parts were okay, like the veggies the roast comes with, but the seitan and sauces are salty, rice is plain and cold and potato entree was cold and only okay.

Some of the dish had a weird taste, mainly the seitan. My husband couldn’t eat it, I’ve never seen him feel so sick when eating something that his entire appetite is turned off.

I think the weird taste made it feel like some sort of few day old pre prepped tin food.

Had high hopes for authentic food but instead was let down with an awfully expensive half eaten plate, bad after taste and yuck feeling in our stomaches.

Pros: Staff are nice

Cons: Price, Quality, Menu options

Fantastic traditional French cuisine

Big shout out for the special we tried - seitan steak with a girolle cream sauce and ratatouille. You can get most mains with dauphinois potatoes that are perfectly cooked.

Highly recommend the cafe gourmand (you get a few small bits off the dessert menu plus an espresso).

My favourite place to eat in Paris. Looking forward to trying the bourginon next time!

Chocolate mousse the stand out

Vegan versions of French food, we got the artichoke creme, onion soup, beef bouguignon and mousse.

The artichoke creme was served with bread, it was definitely good but not amazing.

We really liked the onion soup, the cheese on top was tasty

The beef bouguingnon had amazing seitan beef, we were really impressed. The dish overall was good but again nothing amazing, but I don't think that's a reflection of the restaurant, I think it's just a simple sort of meal in general

The mousse was DELICIOUS. The best vegan mousse I've had in 8 years. The texture and flavour, wow. Definitely get the mousse

The staff were friendly too

Great French food!

Went there with my friend and had three course meal
Everything was delicious and we even shared a bottle of wine with it

It's rare to find a restaurant with French cuisine that is fully vegan so this was appreciated

Only "odd" thing is that even though we ordered a bottle of wine it came without a label and already opened which I think threw my French friend off a bit - still delicious 🍷

An excellent vegan french restaurant

I went to this place two times during my trip in Paris and I liked It very much. I had the chance to try some typical dish in a vegan way. Also, the waiter is very lovely and you feel good during the dinner.

Tasty, interesting food

We had the onion soup, artichoke cream, crepe, seitan stew and creme brulle. Staff were friendly and service was quick. It was busy (we went on a Sunday) and booked in advance via phone call.
Twists on the classic e.g the creme brulle has apricots in it. Lovely decor and ambiance, we enjoyed it here.

Vegan French Cuisine

Very nice that they do vegan French classics! Had the crepe and another dish, both were amazing. So well balanced from a nutrition perspective and lots gluten free.
Does have soup of the day but no plat du jour. One of the more expensive options.

Endlich...

...vegane französische Küche. Wir hatten die Artischockencreme, Boeuf Bourguignon und eine Art Ceviche und waren begeistert. Die Bourguignon köchelte bereits in der Küche als wir mittags das lokal betraten, die Konsistenz ist exzellent aber der Geschmack ist abends wahrscheinlich noch besser! Hervorzuheben wäre noch der freundliche Service und der gute Hauswein der zur Begleitung einfach dazu gehört.

Pros: Authentisches Essen, Freundlicher Service, Stimmige Einrichtung

Vegan French experience

If you’re looking for vegan versions of some of the French classics, this is the place to visit!
To book we emailed and they got back in touch with us the same day.
To start we got the potato with olive tapenade - we were expecting just a small potato but were surprised when it arrived! The tapenade was perfectly salty and went really well with the potato, walnuts and the pesto.
For mains we had to get the seitan bourguignon because it looked amazing from the pictures. It didn’t disappoint!! The seitan was so meaty and soft in the sauce - which was incredible!! It came with a fondant, pave potato. It was crispy, soft and creamy all at the same time. It went perfectly with the stew.
My partner got the seitan roast with pepper sauce. This was also incredible!!
The seitan was stuffed a different texture of seitan, bread crumbs and onion. It came with a side of the pave potatoes, ratatouille and pepper sauce. It was really delicious, although it felt like the ratatouille didn’t quite fit the rest of the meal - it was tasty though!
For dessert we got the apricot crème brûlée. The top was crispy and sweet and complimented the cream. The touch of apricot worked well, made the dessert feel less sickly.
The staff were very lovely and helpful!

Pros: Stunning seitan stew and roast, Crème brûlée , Lovely staff

We liked it!

We went last Sunday evening. It was busy with a nice buzz. Service was courteous but not overly friendly. We enjoyed the food. Would probably go back next time in Paris.

Pros: 100% vegan, Good food

Welcoming staff, good food

Good hearty food.
Slightly bland for my taste though.

Had the suggested soup and dish of the day.

Would go there again to try other dishes as they all looked great.

top level

I was there from the very first years, and after all this time, you're maintaining the level (it's even infinitely better than when you started), so well done!

Pros: food, staff, location

Cons: a bit expensive but well worth it
