Food heaven - Traditional french food made vegan - Edit
Yes, it is possible. Amazing, awesome, wow! I had onion soup, boeuf bourguignon and mousse au chocolate, - all was very good, nah it was fp. The rest of the menue also sound very delicious. Plus very, very friendly people working there. Strong recommendation. If you want to go there, please reserve. No one w/o got a table.

Good French bistro - Edit
French bistro atmosphere and classic French bistro dishes remade as vegan - a great place to go for this. We had seaweed tartare (excellent and well-flavoured), seitan bourgignon (great idea but lacking in mushroom+wine flavour depth, and way too salty [this was blamed on the stock!]), and then apricot creme brulee (very nice, but a little heavy). So not perfect but a good three courses. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Delicious vegan french food - Edit
As I was in Paris, I wanted to try some veganized french dishes, and Le Potager du Marais hit the spot. The french onion soup was delicious (great vegan cheese), the seitan bourgignon was super tasty and the creme brulée was a bit on the dense side, but still delicious. Portions were definitely big! Worth the price in my opinion.

Favorite restaurant in Paris - Edit
Worth the wait and the splurge, everything was absolutely delicious and unique. We tried the potato with pesto and olive tapenade, lasagna, and burger with smoked tofu. Very flavorful and filling food, I really need to figure out how they did that tofu so well! Our waiter was extremely friendly. We got lucky not having a reservation ahead of time (just had to come back about an hour later), but I would definitely make a reservation next time. Waiter said they accept either via phone or email.

Really amazing, onion soup was excellent and place is cosy itself too!!!
Read moreLasanje was OK, but for me too spinachy :D
Maybe the only thing is there is one quick waiter, but if there are so many clients same time, then can take some time. So be well prepared :D

Delicious traditional-style French food - Edit
This is a tiny restaurant located near Centre Pompidou. It is popular, so be sure to book in advance.
Read moreThe staff was very friendly and attentive. The menu consists of traditional French dishes which have been veganized. We took the seitan bourgignon and the buckwheat crepes filled with leeks and mushrooms and both were delicious. The mushroom pate (starter) was also extremely tasty. The desserts looked fantastic but we were stuffed with our starter and main.
It's not cheap but the portions are large.
Pros: Centrally located, Friendly staff, Sizeable portions
Cons: The tables are very close to each other

great food - Edit
We booked to go here for dinner as we had heard it was busy and we were lucky we did. The place is nice and cosy. We were the first diners there for dinner but it was soon fully packed. The downside to that is service took a little longer than it should have. The food however was absolutely incredible (special shout-out to the French onion soup and it’s vegan cheesy goodness on top) and the waiter was very nice. Overall, delicious food but book ahead and be prepared for wait times.

Incredible! - Edit
This place is so cool! Loved my traditional French food cooked to perfection. My boyfriend (also newly vegan) is Parisian and he was really shocked at how good the dishes were. I also had a a cocktail of fresh vegetable juices and a glass of vegan red wine.
Read moreSuper friendly staff and the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and Ian dog friendly too for little dogs as the place is quite small.
Top tip is to book ahead as they are always busy! We were lucky to find a table without booking but normally this isn't the case.
The dishes were generous and really tasty and everything is also organic too!
This is now my favourite restaurant in Paris!
Pros: Traditional French food in gorgeous location, Wonderful service, Really tasty meals!
Cons: None! But reserve a table as it's that good!!!

expensive but tasty - Edit
I had a great dinner here back in April. My favourite thing was the french onion soup, the cheese and the bread were so well done. I also liked the seitan goulash in red wine or however it was called and the cakes were also very tasty. It is a small space though so you feel a bit cramped but I would go back again. It is fairly expensive though.

Food is great but...expect hostility - Edit
First off, let me begin by saying that the food here is amazing! However, one of the male servers actually yelled and got into the face one of a young lady at my table. There was a slight misunderstanding about the number of our party. When we politely tried to notify the waiter, in fluent French, he began to yell and cause at scene at the restaurant. It was horrible and beyond embarrassing for the entire table. I tried to come back again, eager to give the place another chance... Unfortunately, this did not go well either. My boyfriend and I were waiting in line to enter the restaurant when it opened. The same server was there. We patiently waited in line behind other guests. After the lady in front of us had been turned away for a table of 4, we asked if there was room for a table for 2. The server offered us a table and the lady who was just turned away began to make a scene and roll her eyes. The server again yelled at everyone to get in an orderly line and all became chaos. I’d give the food 5 stars, but my experience with the staff and other guests was beyond hostile.

Not impressive, overpriced - Edit
The general idea of the restaurant is to serve French traditional cuisine revisited in a vegan fashion: it is sadly mostly revisited in a tasteless style. And the prices and two high for the quality of the food. There are many better options in Paris!
Read morePros: Location, Friendly staff
Cons: Tasteless, Overpriced

So French - Edit
If you want to try typically French food, this is the place for you. For my main dish I had a mock beef, which was good but the absolute star of the meal was the French onion soup. Worth going for that alone!

Wonderful! - Edit
This was my second vist and it was just as good as the first. The staff are so nice and helpful. They speak English so well. The food was really great, real French style cuisine and don't forget dessert! I had a cereal coffee (which is great as I couldn't have caffine) with dessert (chocolate mousse, of course!) and it really hit the spot. Loved it! Great place!

Nice and cosy - Edit
I got the crispy quinoa burger with grilled vegetables and tofu, however, there was no tofu.
Read moreIt was still really good.
The mushroom sauce was to die for!
My mom got the spinach-walnut lasagna which tasted a bit too much like spinach.
The cheese on it was amazing, though.
The restaurant was quite small, so I would recommend making a reservation before going there.
We barely managed to get a table when we came at 7 p.m.
I really liked the cosy vibe it had.
One thing that wasn't good was the apple tart.
My mom and I didn't like it, it wasn't anything special.
We would come back, but not for that dessert.
Pros: Small place, got the food quickly
Cons: Bad apple tart

Lovely lunch! - Edit
More traditional options on menu, with vegan versions of Europeand dishes (like seitan stew, salad with vegan cheese). Loved the food, although would have like some more cheeze in the salad for example, of some more spicing.
Read moreVery friendly. Cosy little place. But a bit crowded.
Small terrace in front.
