Vegan French onion soup

I wanted vegan French onion soup and creme brulee. The French onion soup was amazing. The croutons with the melted cheese was so good. The creme brulee had the satisfying crack to the top layer. The creme was good. It had apricot pieces. The texture was more fluffy than creme. But I enjoyed it. The place is adorable and the service was great. Staff spoke English. I tried my French and she helped me when I needed English.

Poor food, cold, and bland

The soup was delicious, but the lasagne and the tofu arrived lukewarm. The food was nothing special, it seemed the chef just threw some ingredients together. The staff was not the most pleasant either. On Google maps I gave it 3 stars because at least it is a vegan restaurant... 2 stars if I am being generous...

Very popular

I came here in March on a Friday night around 8pm and it was crowded! However I was given a table within 5 minutes of waiting so it wasn't bad. They were really packed with people so it took a good few minutes to bring the menu but it was not a problem for me.
The menu is in French and English and has many starters and entrees.

I got the French Onion Soup and the Roast Seitán. I chose potatoes as my side and also got an extra side of rice because I hadn't eaten all day and was feeling hungry.

To drink they brought a carafe of water and I also ordered a mango smoothie.
The mango smoothie was sweet and tasty. It was cool and refreshing. I love mangos and this tasted really good.

The French Onion Soup was fantastic. I had read mixed reviews on here and I don't really know where they are getting better vegan onion soup. The top was cheesey and had the perfect texture. The bread in the soup was flavorful and easy to eat. I thought there was the right amount of onion and didn't feel like it was lacking anything. I really liked the broth as well. Lots of good flavors. I highly recommend this. It's a great starter and honestly could have been a meal in itself and I regretted immediately ordering any extra food because I was beginning to feel full after finishing the soup.

The Roast Seitán was incredible. I was so full but I couldn't leave anything on my plate. I thought the French Onion Soup was good, but the roast seitán was mind blowing. I saw reviews saying it had a sponge texture but I don't think that is accurate. I think it has a dough texture like making bread. It was not unpleasant and I really enjoyed it. I thought the soft gooeyness of it worked really well with the filling. The flavors were strong and wonderful. The pepper left a nice aftertaste and lingered the longest.
The potato side was also very good. It was very under-flavored compared to the roast it shared a plate with. But it was such a nice texture with the baked skin on one side and the soft middle. It was an excellent side and it filled me up completely. I used the brown rice to soak up all of the sauce on the plate because the pepper sauce was very pleasant.

I highly recommend trying this place. It's a great way to experience traditional French food made vegan.

I think France makes my favorite vegan food so far out of the countries I have visited. I haven't been disappointed with a vegan restaurant in Paris yet.

Pros: Delicious flavors, Good portions

Cons: Can be a long wait for a table

Le Potager Du Marais

I’ve changed my rating to three after visiting this week. The onion soup was not great this time and it had a great deal of oregano in it. The seitan dish was nice but also had quite a bit of oregano. I probably won’t eat here again.

Delicious vegan French onion soup... Or just "onion soup" when in France.😄

FRENCH ONION SOUP!!!

This was arguably our best food experience to date! Both me and my partner had the french onion soup for appetizers and we couldn't stop saying wow and mmmm for every spoon! My seitan roast was perfection and beatufully paired with the potatoes and pepper sauce. My partner loved her food as well, tho i can't temember what she had.

Thd menu was in both english and french, and the waiter was SUPER freindly and helpful. I wish we had asked his name

To round out the night their creme brulee was great, even though i don't love apricots

Pros: French onion soup, Friendly staff, The food in general

Cons: A tad on the pricier side (but worth it)

Everything was lacking sauce

As a group we tried most of the main dishes and apart from the bourginon, everything was incredibly dry and not very flavourful, including the cakes. Portions were modest but decent and service good, but the food wasn’t great.

Absolutely delicious

Friendly waiter, super tasteful food (we had the plat du jour and seitan roast) and good wine. Best to make a reservation and not be in a hurry, as it's very busy

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly service, in English as well

Disappointed

To be fair, this has been first time trying vegan french food.

All in all, I'm disappointed with several of the options.
The seitan felt very spongy, the taste of it was okish.
The onion soupe did contain at most 10 small onion strings and mostly tasted like vegatable broth. Nevertheless, the cheese on top was enjoyable.

I could also try the crepe which I had high hopes for. But those delicious dreams got shattered by the filling of it.

Unfortunately the atmosphere also did not meet my expectations. really dark and there was also cauliflower under the table.

I wish I could leave a better rating but I left the restaurant with mostly bad feelings about the food

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Atmosphere, Food

A great French experience

You can't book online - need to email or call, but this was easy enough. Staff were ok but not very attentive. The French onion soup starter was excellent - would go again just for this. Main was ok, but not quite what either of us had expected from the descriptions. Cafe Gourmand was a great dessert option to try everything. Had a kir royal which was absolutely delicious, did want more drinks but wasn't able to get staff attention.

Delicious French food

Loved the restaurant and staff (possibly owner?) Super friendly service. Was my first proper French dinner, being a life long veggie / now vegan I'd never tried any typical French food .. I had seitan bourginon with dauphinoise hmmmmm! I wanted to try a pud but the staff we're run off their feet and it was hard to get their attention by 9pm so we just paid and left. Next time! Yummy.

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

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

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!
