so nice and so good - Edit
It was so nice to have a good vegan option in Paris. The servers could not have been nicer and the food was tremendous. I had one of the quinoa burgers and my husband has beef stew. Both had great flavor. We also had mushroom pate as an appetizer and it reminded me of thanksgiving. Make reservations or go early. It does get busy.

Amazing! - Edit
We went there only to get dessert (Moelleux and Tarte Tatin, both were heavenly and freshly made!), The waiter was the friendliest I have ever met in France, got us a table outside even though the restaurant was fully booked that night (Do make a reservation if you're planning to go there for a full meal!)
Read moreWe are definitely coming back next time we're in Paris. Everything on the menu looked delicious (Vegan Boef Bourguignon? YUM!) and our neighbors' food smelled so good!
Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff, Lovely neighborhood, 1L of filtered water for free
Cons: Reservation needed, Bit pricey, Only one unisex toilet

Cozy and delicious vegan restaurant - Edit
This cozy spot near Centre Pompidou offers an incredible menu, and the best part, ingredients are 100% vegan. Everything was delicious. They create original dishes, mixing tasty vegan ingredients. It's a little bit pricey, but totally worth it.

Excellente! - Edit
Had dinner there with 2 14 yr. olds who griped about vegan food, until they ate it!! This is a lovely little restaurant with fabulous food and delightful service. Everyone loved their dinners. I only wish Paris was closer to New Jersey! If you want to eat there, definitely make a reservation. By the time we were having our entrees, they were turning people away. This is a "don't miss!"

Best vegan restaurant in Paris! - Edit
I would highly recommend this place. I visited this fabulous vegan restaurant on March 26, 2014. Service is great, everything is vegan! It's a super quaint restaurant. Food is soooo amazing and everything is labelled if it's gluten free. I ordered an Aubergine/eggplant dish with melted cheese inside. It was superb! The desserts are amazing too. Can't believe that everything is vegan here.

Delicious food, great service - Edit
We were delighted to find an all-vegan restaurant in Paris. The food and service were outstanding when we ate there on 27 March, 2014.
Read moreWe note the comments about the lack of space but we didn't find it a problem except for one slightly 'grand' couple next to us who were obviously not happy and left after a drink which they complained about! The other diners near us were friendly and sociable and the temperature was just-right. The atmosphere was really good and the restaurant appears to attract interesting people with socially and politically-aware views.
We will definitely be going back, given half a chance!
Pros: Lovely food, cooked just right, imaginative menu, Excellent service and atmosphere
Cons: Slightly cramped

Small but nice - Edit
It is always welcome when you have the whole menu to choose from when you're a vegan. The food was abslout okay, but I would have liked a little more seasoning. The staff was very kind and the service high.

nice atmosphere but disproportionate prices - Edit
I ate at le potager du marais twice, once alone for lunch and once for dinner with my boyfriend in october/november of 2013. In general I would recommend a reservation.
Read moreI liked the cozy atmosphere and the staff was very hearty.
As a starter I ordered a spinach-chickpea soup which was tasty but rather too salty and already a bit cold.
As main dishes I/we tried the spinach-walnut-lasagna, the seitan bourguignon and the vegetable stew. The lasagna was great (though a bit cold, too). The seitan was tasty as well, though it was a bit heavy - I would have preferred some vegetables with it and less seitan instead. The vegetable stew was quite nice, although some parts were stewed too long for our taste. As a dessert we REALLY enjoyed the mousse au chocolat.
In general I/we enjoyed my/our stay at this restaurant. Still, in my opinion the meals are far too pricy for what they are. But being in a city like Paris, I would still recommend le potager du marais as one of the best 100% vegan options.

Vegan French Onion Soup! - Edit
We recently ate dinner here during a 4 day stay in Paris, and it was the best meal we had! We didn't make a reservation, but they were able to accommodate us after only a few minutes wait. Unlike other places, we promptly received water and bread without having to ask. The waiter was extremely friendly and courteous and spoke impeccable English (I certainly don't expect that of a French restaurant, but it's nice).
Read moreMy husband had the soup of the day, a pea soup. I was super excited to see French Onion Soup on the menu. Both were excellent. I enjoy fake meats and cheeses, and the "cheese" in the French Onion Soup really delivered. The portion sizes were the best we've seen in Paris. My soup was pretty large, as were our main courses.
The vegan take on French food was much appreciated. The main courses were delicious. It was definitely the most money we spent on a meal in Paris, but we considered it well worth it.

Looks & tastes like a classic French restaurant - Edit
The restaurant has turned completly vegan recently after several years of being "vegetarian".
Read moreThe place is quite small so I would advise you to book a table for lunch or dinner.
The restaurant offers a large variety of dishes and most of them are also gluten free.
This is THE place to try typical French food that you can find in all the "mnivorous" restaurants. We tried "soupe à l'oignon", "rôti aux champignons" and "crème brûlée" for dessert.
The waiter was lovely! Always smiling and checking if everything was going fine for us.
Highly recommanded place!
Pros: Vegan, Variety of food, Staff
Cons: Small place, You wanna taste everything :-)

Best place in Paris! - Edit
This place was wonderful! We ate a lot and the quality of our food was good for the expensive price. The waiter was very friendly and did his best to speak English. I loved this place and I would recommend it to everybody who wants to spend an evening in a top-class Parisien restaurant.
Read morePros: excellent food, friendly staff, easy to reach (metro, busses)

OK but not all that... - Edit
I went to Le Potager twice while I was in Paris (9/23/13 and 10/3/13) and even though this place seems to be held in high esteem by reviewers, I have to say I wasn't that impressed. The food was nice enough generally, but a bit uneven in quality. The first time we went, I ordered the vege burger with mushroom sauce and this was nice, as was my partner's vegan lasagna. I ordered an entree of potatoes with herbs and tapenade, and while this was OK, it wasn't amazing. The real issues occurred the second time we went. We ordered the potato entree again and this time there was an olive pit left in the tapenade, which is not only unappetising but also potentially dangerous. My partner ordered the Seitan Bourgignon and both of us agreed that this was terrible to the point of being almost inedible, with little flavour and a dry, rubbery texture. There is a long waiting time - as I think patrons may be warned beforehand - and you can expect to take two to three hours for an entree and main at peak time. The owner is very enthusiastic when interacting with diners, but it may take some time to be attended to. The restaurant has a nice ambience, with stone walls and some attention to decoration, but the space is fairly small and the tables quite close together. I would go here again but be selective about what I ordered, although I must admit that only a few menu items appealed to me.

Perfect! - Edit
My husband and i managed to visit here on our last day in Paris and i am so pleased that we did. The food is delicious, well seasoned , excellently balanced and pretty too. The portions are big but we both made room for dessert which was also generous but delicious. I only wish i could have tried a starter too! Or gone back again. The waiter was lovely and could not have been more helpful. This place definitely deserves the excellent rating that it has.

A really lovely place to eat - Edit
My favourite Veg place of all Paris: cozy, small (booking is necessary), very kind stuff, mouthwatering dishes. I did eat there 3 out of the 4 nights I spent in Paris during my last trip. My mom, a fond meat-eater, asked me to get back, night after night. Too bad I did not get to meet the chef: the guy definitely knows his cooking and the place is really excellent food for good money. A place you really must try.

French Vegan Food is Rare! - Edit
I was happy to try this restaurant, French classics done the vegan way. It was nice to be able to experience French food, as French restaurants hardly ever have a vegetarian or even harder, vegan options.Sadly, it seems the French can not think outside the box of "meat and cheese". The food was delicious, service was exceptionally friendly and location is great ! Only negative is the hours, I always seem to go when its closed ! So just keep the hours in mind.

superb french food - Edit
Some of the best food and service we received in Paris.
Read moreThe menu was diverse and featured many french favorites prepared all vegan.
They speak English as well as French so we were able to navigate the excellent menu with limited French and they didn't make us feel good about it.
We are appetizers, main courses and desserts and had no objections on any part of the meal.
The restaurant is very crowded and slow in typical European fashion. You should call ahead for a reservation.
This is the best dining experience you will have as a vegan in Paris. Enjoy!
Pros: excellent food, kind and honest service, authentic tasting French
Cons: very busy

Best Vegan Dining In Paris - Edit
Nothing much to add to the generally positive comments. The night we went we arrived about 15 min early and sat on the sidewalk chairs.
Read moreThe owner came out to open promptly at 7:00 and asked if we had reservations. We didn't and he said that was fine as long as we could done by 9:00 as he was fully booked that evening.
We loved the French Onion Soup and the Warm Cheese Salad. So great to get tasty vegan cheese in Paris of all places. I enjoyed the Buckwheat Crepes.
I had the Stuffed Eggplant for my main course and it was excellent. I can't remember the main dish that my wife chose but the pepper sauce with her dish was over the top peppery which put a damper on her experience.
We were lucky that the owner was our server and he was courteous, prompt and engaging despite that the restaurant got busy quickly.
Our best overall dining experience in Paris but not quite to the standards of the top vegan restaurants in the U.S.
Pros: Excellent Food, Gluten Free Options Inc Bread, Good Service
Cons: Cramped, Reservations For Later in Evening

Very good food and service - Edit
We're so happy we found this place. The food was really good. We tried the quinoa burger and the lentil balls and they were both excellent. I really liked their vegan cheese, too. The main dishes are not cheap, but the ones we tried were very varied and well balanced (with vegetables, cereals, legumes and vegan cheese). The mains were big enough and we didn't need to take a starter nor a dessert.
Read moreThe service is very friendly and the location is perfect (in the Marais, just next to the Centre Pompidou).

Cons: Nothing

Cosy, friendly all vegan restaurant with good food - Edit
Food:
Read moreA good choice of food on the menu (written in French and English) all of which sounded appetising. I had the vegetable quiche with salad (a starter - but more than enough for me). I had seen somebody else eating it, so I knew what I was getting. It was more like a pie than a quiche, but all the better for that - it had lovely pastry and a vegetable filling. My friend had the lentil balls on a bed of spinach served with mashed sweet potatoes and a broccoli dish, which she really enjoyed. I wish I could have eaten more as the desserts sounded lovely.
The location:
Fantastic location a few metres away from the Pompidou Centre. The restaurant is small, rustic and cosy.
The service:
The service was extremely friendly and professional. We didn't feel hurried, but weren't left around waiting either. The waiter was a bit busy, but still able to be friendly and take the time to explain things. He spoke French to me, but replied to my friend in English as she can't speak French.
Pros: Great food, Excellent location in Le Marais, Nice ambiance
Cons: Small, Paris prices, not a budget meal.

Delicious food, great deserts - Edit
this place was one of my favorites in Paris. In Potager I was finally able to have a traditional french onion soup and it tasted also. My girlfriend and I also ordered one dish each (be careful, their dishes are huge) and they were pretty good.
Read morebut the highest point for sure was the deserts. I had an awesome chocolate cake (sorry, i don't remember the french name)that was amazing.
The place is kind of expensive but it might be the only chance to have french traditional food in a vegan way.
Pros: onion soup, very "french", desert
Cons: kind of expensive, but worthy
