Affordable and tasty

Came by for a solo dinner. The place had a queue in front of it the entire time I was there. There are a few options on the menu and many of them are vegan, I had Sichuan aubergine and 2 of the skewers, all very tasty. Unfortunately they don’t do matcha lattes for takeaway so couldn’t try that.
I wanna come back and try the other dishes now ☺️

Brocoli skewers and Poulet du sud are my new hobbies

I love this restaurant with all my heart ♥️

Everything tastes good but really, with my boyfriend we call this place « the brocoli place » because these brocoli skewers are *insane* 🤩

And the Poulet du Sud is our favourite dish, it is so tasty ✨

If you handle spice good, mapo tofu is very good too and the aubergines is quite savoury as well

Pros: Brocoli skewers, Poulet du Sud, Mapo tofu

Nice and cozy Asian restaurant. I really loved the taro dumplings. The food was healthy and not too expensive for the quality.

Best vegan in Paris both price and quality

Exceptional and efficient quality of Chinese vegan cuisine. Personally non vegan consumers will like it as well!

Pros: Price to value is definitely well worth it. , Good selection of non-allium menu items

Cons: Easily full-house. Highly recommend to make rsvn

Tout est délicieux : les brochettes d’entrée, le plat et le cocktail au litchi awww !
De plus toutes les filles sont super gentilles, n’y retournerai à chaque fois que je passe à Opéra 💜

Brilliant Vegetarian/Vegan Asian Food

Whilst Paris is abundant with Asian food, it is not always easy to find good vegan/vegetarian Asian food.

The food at Cantine de Lotus is very good and, while not all the food is vegan, offers a great variety of vegan and vegetarian food. I've been there several times and have always enjoyed the food and experience.

The restaurant itself is quite small but I personally think it is full of character. It is clearly popular and a favourite for many other people.

Pros: Good food

Cons: Small restaurant

Délicieux

Tout était un régal, des brochettes de tteokbokki aux mochi en passant par le saté. Mention spéciale pour le black latte.

Pros: variété des choix, options véganes, sauce maison

Cute and cosy restaurant with great food

Really lovely place for dinner, but it is very small so perhaps not ideal for big groups! Most of the menu is vegan (and well labelled), delicious!

Great food, with Mochi desert

Lovely tofu and fake-meat based chinese dishes. The mochis for desert were absolutely delicious

Good food, not super original

This tiny restaurant has some nice mock meats, but we found that we were actually most thrilled by the broccoli skewers as a starter that turned out crisp and quite pleasantly surprising in their taste.
It's unclear why this restaurant doesn't just go fully vegan. They are vegetarian and that unnecessarily limits the vegan options

Great place in the ♡ of Paris

Had a really nice, delicious and cozy dinner there.

Maybe the staff could have been a bit more chilled somehow. The dishes were taken away "two seconds"-ish after finishing the meal... 🤷
And the appetizer-sticks could have been decorated a little more loving.

Nevertheless a great recommendable place!

Pros: Taste, Very fair prices, Big variety of menu options

Warm, cozy and delicious

We were famished so I didn’t take any pictures of the food, but I ordered the tofu dish and my husband ordered the poulet végétal façon mariné au sud (the Sunday menu is limited but there are about four main options).
Both dishes were absolutely wonderful, really tasty and I think it was a nice portion size and a fair price. Service is really friendly, the restaurant is small but it’s cozy, perfect for two to four people. I’d definitely come back!

Pros: Friendly service, Open on sundays

The vegan is superb

Cramped seating and please don’t bully this place with your party of 6. Flavorful hand made plates, bummer it’s white rice only and no brown.

Super service, friendly and ultra efficient. Get in and get out, someone is waiting behind you (just as you waited)

Be considerate. It’s tiny. #Veganuary

Pros: Fast delicious meal, Efficient and friendly server/owner, Tasty vegan dishes.

Cons: Keep your party small so we can all enjoy, Be fast about it. , Spiral stairs to dine, if you can do it.

Cute restaurant with nice food !

Cantine de lotus is that kind of restaurant where you want to go once in a while, to try another dish on the menu !

Most of the dishes are vegan, and each of them has its own flavour.

Everything is tasty, and I've never been disappointed.
I also really like the starter skewers, like the fried tteokbokki or vegetables, that you can enjoy and share with friends.

Service is fast but I recommend to go early to avoid queuing outside.

Pros: Reasonnable prices

Cons: Go early or you may have to queue for a bit, I wish they had vegan desserts besides mochis

Great food

My partner and I have been going to Cantine de Lotus for over two years now and it's one of our favorite vegan restaurant. The menu offers a lot of options and all the food we tried is delicious and original. Our favorites are the Bao "poulet", the "canard larqué" and the amazing matcha latte. The staff is also extremely kind and we're always happy to see them. The place can be quickly crowded so I'd recommend going there as soon as it opens. The service is quick and efficient though, so if you don't mind standing outside a bit, it's worth waiting for it.

Pros: Lot of choices, Delicious food, Very friendly and quick service

Cons: Small space

Good but salty

Very small place so there's often a line out the front. They have an English menu available. I loved the mushroom and eggplant skewers, and the mapo tofu was nice with a good level of heat (if you like it hot). Only issue was that all items were incredibly salty, which made them hard to enjoy.
