Good and very friendly

I really enjoyed the food and the staff was very friendly!

My only complaints are the hummus - it had a really weird and bitter aftertaste which I didn’t like at all. The strawberry cashew desert was good but the almond granola also tasted bitter for some reason.

The pasta and pancake desert were really good though and I enjoyed the tofu as well.

Get a reservation!

It was Monday night and I was in Paris for work. I wanted to get a vegan meal and try a new (to me) vegan restaurant.
I love trying French food that is vegan so I made a reservation. The earliest for the same day was 9:15pm.
I was seated right away and the restaurant filled up quickly.

The menu is in French and has a back half in English.

I ordered sparkling water and a kombucha to start.
For food I got the marinated tofu as a starter and the roasted eggplant as a main course. It was hard to choose because so many options sounded delicious.

The kombucha was perfect. It had a really nice raspberry flavor. Not too sweet and not too much like vinegar.

The tofu starter was incredible. It was perfectly marinated with every bite being full of flavor. The sauce was a really nice citrus addition to the crispy outside of the tofu. It wasn't over fried either because the inside of the tofu was still soft. I really enjoyed this. I soaked all the extra sauce up with the bread they gave me and cleaned the plate. It's a large portion too. I was feeling pretty full and my main course hadn't even been served yet.

Next was the roasted eggplant. It was huge! The large eggplant was cut in half and laid on top of a pool of hummus. It was covered in delicious herbs like mint and dill as well as pomegranate seeds, cucumber slices, and chopped peppers. The roasted texture was so nice with the creamy hummus. It tasted like all the ingredients for baba ganoush. Absolutely delicious.

Afterwards I was overfull so I skipped ordering a dessert. The waiter was really nice eye candy though so that will have to do.

I highly recommend eating here.

Pros: Large portions, Lots of options, Friendly to English speakers

Friday lunch

We came in for a quick bite before an exhibition-packed afternoon. We arrived at around 1:30pm, and staff didn’t seem to eager about the prospect of having to serve new clients 45min before afternoon closure.

However, service was quick and friendly (enough) and staff managed to continue playing video games and walking to the neighboring bakery for more baguettes.

But now to the food: highly recommend the sesame tofu which was the highlight of our meal (starter). Feeling more ambivalent about the mains: the rigatoni, although flavorful, did not ignite the fireworks that we had anticipated. The riz Camargue looked like a stroll through a summer garden, with its lush garnish and beautiful colors, but lacked some counter-flavor to its light summery notes. We‘d recommend replacing the corn with more celery bites or capers/olives and maybe some sun-dried tomatoes.

Overall, nice lunch spot if you’re ok with simple dishes.

Great food but strange manners to customers

Loved the food, especially the chickpea crepe and the aubergine. Chocolate mousse for dessert was amazing. Next time I’d skip the riz, it wasn’t especially flavorful like the other dishes.
The weird part is as the tables adjacent to us became vacant, the hostess took her spray bottle of cleaner and sprayed it onto the nearby table at such an angle that the cloud of cleaning chemical got all over our food. I could feel the droplets hit my skin and saw it get all over our food. I made a face but she did not apologize and then proceeded to do the exact same thing at the table on the other side of us. Not sure if this is normal in France but it was certainly inconsiderate.
I debated dropping the rating but the food is so good and I love the mission of the restaurant so much that I had to give them 5 stars regardless

Pros: Delicious food, Traditional and innovative French recipes, Wine selection

Cons: Cleaning protocols

Stunning

I ate here as a solo traveller having been to a lot of clandestine vegan restaurants in different cities. This is easily in my top 3 of all time!

The staff were amazing and squeezed me in without a reservation. The food was stunning. Visually beautiful, well cooked and seasoned, I was blown away.

The place had such a nice atmosphere and they really made me feel welcome.

Pros: Amazing food, Great vibes, Lovely staff

Good but nothing wowed me

This meal did not hit the mark for me but I may have just chosen poorly. I'm keen to support places doing higher end vegan dining and I'd happily give them another try when I make it back to Paris again.

I had the sesame marinated tofu to start and it just lacked flavour. It was a big piece of tofu with a lovely texture and a good sesame seed coating. As we all know, getting your marinade into a big piece of tofu is not easy and it just didn't taste of much. It's served on a soy and lime yoghurt sauce and this also didn't really deliver enough flavour.

In classic fine dining style, the dishes are mostly just a list of ingredients so I didn't know what to expect from the mains (except probably the bowl of pasta) I went for the hazelnut mashed potatoes and was a bit underwhelmed again. The issue probably is that mashed potatoes are just not that exciting so I'm willing to hold my hands up and admit I probably chose poorly. The tamari and rooibos sauce was pleasant and got good when I got a nice hit of the wholegrain mustard too. The white asparagus was fine, I don't have strong feelings about asparagus maybe it was great asparagus but it didn't do much for me. Bits of hazelnut added a crunch and I was disappointed to find the mushrooms on the dish were a few raw slices. I always prefer my mushrooms cooked.

For dessert I got a creme brulee topped with some completely unnecessary goji berries. It was a hearty deep pot of creme brulee which unfortunately meant the caramelised top to custard ratio was not what I had hoped for. The top was nice and sweet and crispy but it was already broken up so I didn't get the chance to break my way in. The custard itself was well set but I would have preferred it to be a bit sweeter.

I had a bottled drink of fizzy cherry, verbena and lavender which was nice. The flavours were good and it wasn't very sweet which worked well.

Great food and atmosphere!

Had dinner here last night and it was amazing. The atmosphere is lovely, slightly sophisticated, not as hippy dippy as vegan places are where Im from. Its cozy and beautiful, the staff are so friendy and the food delicious and FILLING. I had sesame tofu, hazelnut mashed potato and then pancakes - was SO full.

Pros: Food quality and size, Atmosphere, Food choice

Delightful

The menu is a bit unusual at first glance. Mashed potatoes as a main dish?!? But it works. There is creativity here and unusual flavor profiles that work surprisingly well. The wine list is small but well thought out. The Syrah was perfect!
Service was friendly. Reservation recommended.

Pros: Creative menu, New flavors

Bastante bien pero caro

Me gustó mucho, pero el precio era algo elevado. Entiendo que la cocina es gourmet pero para ese precio me esperaba algo más de sabor.

De entrante me pedí un aguacate que estaba bueno, pero no era una locura. De principal pedí la pasta que sí que estaba bastante buena. De postre, mousse de chocolate que estaba deliciosa.

Recomiendo bastante el restaurante, pero creo que viendo el precio me esperaba algo más (teniendo en cuenta que estaba en París, donde todo es caro)

Nice place, helpful staff and, above all, delicious vegan food.
Definitely worth the visit.

Delicious and beautiful food

We were so happy to find this place. We love to eat lots of vegetables. After a few days of Parisian food, which is delicious but very salty and often lacking greens, this was a relief: lots of tasty and delicious vegetables, served in creative and aesthetically pleasing ways. Also good gluten free and wholemeal ingredients!

An amazing find

Great variety of quality food.
Not the cheapest around, but quality ingredients and it was a proper gourmet experience.
The crepe for dessert was unbelievable! 😋
Recommend booking beforehand.
We got a table for 2 at the last minute, and the place was full within 20 minutes.

Pros: The food!

Cons: Not cheap!

A great intro to Paris

The pancake things were good. My pasta was silly smooth, but not as flavourful as I prefer. The staff spoke good English. It felt healthy and the vibe was really nice!!

Delicious upscale meal

I didn't have a reservation, but showed up right when they opened and the waiter let me order at the bar. I think their menu changes frequently, but I had a Mediterranean eggplant and hummus dish — really delicious. This would be a great option for a splurge or celebration with friends.

One of the best

Two brothers and their mother, Charlotte, provide a brilliant dining experience starting with a wonderful atmosphere, outstanding service, and some of the most creative and fresh foods served locally and sustainably. Five stars indeed!

Delicious!

The food was amazing, really good wine selection.
We had the tofu & pancake starters, the mushroom & lentil & rigatoni mains and the pear & chocolate mousse for dessert.



The service was very good with friendly staff.
We went to the other location around 3 years ago and it had more of a friendly feel, but still can’t fault this one.
The place looks amazing and has apparently been recently refurbished, very clean & cosy vibe.

Our Last Night In Paris spot

This has become our last-night-in-Paris dinner spot whenever we are here. Tonight’s diner was just a bit off from previous experiences. The wait staff was not engaged with us or the food, the dishes were ok (sesame marinated tofu, lentils and mushroom, squash snd chanterelle rigatoni, and chocolate mousse) but not exciting. But it remains 100% vegan and open on a Monday evening. We will be back.

Pros: Slightly upscale dining experience, All vegan
