Prepare to eat a lot

If you are visiting Paris and want a vegan experience to write home about, this is the place. French onion soup, seitan bourguignon, crème brûlée… You won’t want to eat before you come.

Excellent

- bourguignon de seitan - 7.4/10 good, could have been more flavorful, and the seitan chunks were just kinda too big and could have been prepared in more texrurally interesting way
- french onion soup - 10/10
- crepe de sarrasin - 8.9/10 great

Original and tasty vegan meals

We had fresh algae salad which was very flowery, a potato saitan casserole that was very savoury, and a tasty pie with algea and nuts. All very tasty! The Cidre complemented the food very well

Pros: Original French vegan recipes , Good and healthy ingredients , Tasty Cidre

Amazing food

Did not expect to find such great vegan food in Paris.
The seitan stew was out of this world, with the potato. Desert was also delicious!

Pros: Food, Service, Price

Delicious authentic French food

So incredible to be able to eat all the French classics - but vegan versions! The bourguignon stew was amazing and the seaweed tartare.

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

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
