Excellent food. Don't miss! - Edit
We were initially put off by some of the mixed reviews but we're so glad we had dinner here. Fabulous food. Sweet place. Great service. You must book though... they were turning away lots of people.

Excellent Vegan Find in Paris - Edit
I took a non-vegan French friend here for lunch and we both loved it. The food was tasty and among the healthiest I've had at a restaurant since it didn't taste like it had a lot of added oil or salt. I had the cabbage roll which included all fresh seasonal food. And we split the chocolate cake which was divine. The waiter was friendly and spoke good English too. It's also located in a fun neighborhood.
Read morePros: Tasty and healthy vegan food, friendly staff & quick service, reasonable prices
Cons: pretty small space with tables close together

Totally loved it - Edit
First of all, BOOK you have to book in advance because this restaurant is very busy; when I got there they had all booked until midnight and I had to eat outside in the cold because I really wanted to eat there before leaving France. It's a really good restaurant that's why many people go there.
Read moreThey have a huge menu. Everything is super delicious.
They lasagna is a must!! But the savory crepe I didn't like very much and the carrot cake was way too sweet. Anyways, everything else is really tasty I swear.
Location is very easy to find.
Pros: Great food, Easy to find, by walking
Cons: Some dishes too savory or too sweet., Very busy/crowded

Overpriced not so special food - Edit
The food here was not very special. It was overpriced and they use the microwave to heat the food. You could say an advantage of microwaved food is the quick serving of the meal. Bread (as a side) was old and dry. Prices seem steep for this quality.

Deserves its popularity - Edit
A truly outstanding menu. I had onion soup, seitan stew and choc cake. All of them were tasty and generously portioned. I have never seen so many people turned away from a restaurant, vegan or otherwise, due to it being so busy / popular. Lovely staff, cosy feel, highly recommended - get there early or book though.

Cons: none that I could see

Amazing, just amazing - Edit
I absolutely loved the food there. It has a large variety and even includes gluten-free food. I had the onion soup and the lasagna, which was so delicious. It came along with salad, and the other main dishes come along with either quinoa, mashed potatoes, or rice. There wasn't much choice for wine, tho, but the staff was really friendly. Nice ambience, but a small place, too.

Yep, I love it too - Edit
We went here for my birthday and had some amazing food in an cosy atmosphere.
Read moreThe service was friendly and fast considering how many were dining in such a small space.
10/10 would recommend.
And to repeat the other reviewers - book a table!
So many people were turned away when we were there on a Tuesday night.
Pros: chocolate mousse , and everything else

Delicious 100% VEGAN food in the centre of Paris - Edit
Lovely food, helpful staff which also speaks English. Everything is vegan and the extra seasoning you get on the table is not salt, pepper or parmesan but nutritional yeast, salt and crushed nuts mix and soy sauce, which I found wonderful!
Read moreThe selection on the menu is varied and everything we tried (altogether 6 dishes) is delicious. I thought I'd come for one dish, ended up having a dessert and starter apart from the main. Similarly my boyfriend. The bill came to 68 euros which is a good price for a specialist restaurant in the centre of Paris.
I'd advise booking. We visited in Sunday night with a booking and there were hardly any unbooked tables.
Pros: Gourmet food, English speaking staff, Vegan creme brulee!
Cons: Booking advised, Service MAY be slow at busy times due to few staff

Back again and still good! - Edit
We booked to eat here again and it was well worth the 6 hour drive from the Dordogne to eat here! Ok, so we were on our way home and made a point to stop off in Paris and whilst in Paris, the only place to eat all Vegan food in an August Evening is here. Most other Vegan/Veg places aren't open in the evenings [2016]
Read moreWe were remembered, which is nice, as it had been a year since we were last back. Loved the fact that we were able to glide past the queues of people waiting outside for a table.
The same staff were still there and still friendly. The food was delicious. I ordered a burger and when it arrived, I was disappointed for a millisecond as there was no bun. That feeling soon disappeared when I took in the overall presentation of the food. That was further confirmed when I tasted the burger, WOW! Honestly, the bun would have hidden the flavour and been a disservice.
The test of the dish was brilliant too, the joux, the mash, all good.
The place hadn't changed from the last time we were here and that is a good thing. To keep on putting out the same great tasting food is compliment enough.
Keep it up guys and we will be back again next year to check up on you!

Worth finding 4 good quality meal & great service - Edit
2016 Update:
Read moreWe revisited the cafe - much easier to find now Happycow has a mobile app. And it's fantastic to see that the cafe has moved next-door to have bigger premises AND gone Vegan! The food was as great as we remembered - especially the seitan bourguignon with mashed potato - and the business is clearly thriving in the larger premises, offering a wider menu (including VEGAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE)!
2008 Review:
This is a lovely small restaurant. Having read other reviews we went looking for it armed with the address and a map and still nearly missed the narrow entrance. It is worth looking for, through, and a good stop-off if you're going to the Pompidou Centre.
The service was great, very friendly. They had English versions of the menu chalked onto their mini blackboards (there is a set menu and daily specials) and spoke good English too. They were happy to explain which dishes were vegan.
The food has a good range of French influenced and international with a fresh, good quality and home-made feel. There were loads of vegan options on the main menu and the specials board.
We tried a vegan "beef" in red wine stew, quinoa burger with a gorgeous creamy - yet vegan - mushroom sauce, and their vegan desserts were delicious, especially the chocolate tart. Freshly squeezed juices, vegan coffees are good. The Hot chocolate is excellent and everyone should try it!
It's not cheap - restaurant prices rather than cafe prices - we had a great meal for about £20-£25 each. But it is a relaxed good quality meal with good service.
Pros: Vegan , Range , Good quality

Poor service twice - Edit
I really hate to write a bad review, because the food is great. I was in Paris for four days recently. I went here for lunch my first day. There was a rubber band in my food. Waiter apologized, but didn't bring me a new meal or offer to comp the food. At the end he gave me a free tea (basically no cost for them).
Read moreI decided to try again, because France doesn't have the same standards of service as the U.S..
I showed up 5 minutes after they opened for lunch. Two people had already ordered their food at this point. I told the waitress I was in a hurry, because I had to catch a flight. I ordered soup and lasagna. Soup took 30 minutes to get. Soup just needs to be ladled into bowl. Not prepared. Lasagna still hadn't arrived at 45 minutes. I kept asking, especially because people who arrive 25 minutes after me already had their meals. No real concern and no apology. I had to leave with out eating a main course.
The restaurant is getting two stars, because I'm unable to rate as one star.
Pros: Food is unique, All vegan
Cons: Service, Rubber band in food

Yumm! - Edit
I wanted to have lunch at Le Potager Du Marais before my visit to the very nearby Centre Pompidou. Walking in there spontaneously at 14h wasn't a good idea, the place was full and the very friendly waiter made an instant reservation for 14.45h and thanked me for my patience when I came back. It was really worth the wait, the daily menu was a creative aubergine dish, served in a highly optical attractive way. The staff was really friendly and even though the place was crowded, I felt very at ease. They had gluten-free bread which was great.

Friendly staff, centrally located, must reserve in advance - Edit
Quite large amount of food, friendly staff, very central location close to Centre Pompidou/Métro rue Rambuteau. Reservation needed. Very narrow place. Only one garlic-free dish; others could not be prepared without garlic.

A gem. - Edit
We were lucky enough to walk in and get a table here on a Thursday evening, but I would recommend booking as a rule as the place is tiny and gets very busy. Lovely rustic little place with friendly staff and loads of vegan options. Highly recommended.

Amazing Birthday - Edit
We were visiting Paris and it was my 17th birthday so we (5 of us) promised to be 'vegan' for the day, which made me very happy! I booked this restaurant as it was recommended on a website called ohsheglows.com so I knew it would be good! I booked about 2 weeks in advance as tripadvisor said it was small, I'm glad we did as the restaurant was full with people waiting outside! The menu is quite varied so there's something for everyone, even meat eaters could not complain! We all had something different and all the dishes were amazing! The desserts were equally as good, the berry cobbler was excellent, the creme brulee was also less fab. I really enjoyed the hearty food as I had quite a difficult time in most Parisien restaurants, sometimes only being able to eat plain bread! The staff were very very friendly and even sang happy birthday to her during dessert which we greatly appreciated. If you are vegan, vegetarian or just want to have a beautiful healthy meal, please give this place a try.

disappointing - Edit
My boufriend and I liked this restaurant the least of all the vegan restaurants we went to in Paris. Everything was ok; I was excited for the creme brûlée, but it was very disappointing!
Read moreThe restaurant was very loud and crowded and we couldn't hear ourselves think.
The food came very fast, and the staff was great.
I think the my just needs to be a shorter with more creative dishes.
I think it is so expensive for the quality because it's in a famous area, but head out to 42• raw or la potager de Charlotte, instead.

Dessert - Edit
When I went to Paris in November 2014, I had to do a guide of the places I wanted to eat. I didn't had time to eat in every places so I decided that I would to Potager du Marais just for dessert.
Read moreAs everything in Paris this is quite expensive and it's not a crazy dessert. I loved it and it was tasty but I think it was too expensive.
Although I have to say it's not very common to find a vegan creme brulee, so I think it's worth a try.

Too noisy, too crowded, not enought place - Edit
I went there once with my boyfriend, and maybe we weren't lucky, I don't know ? But, the place is tiny but there is too many sit. So, it's a tiny place, with a loot of person and tables. It's quickly crowded, and very, very noisy. I don't even remember the food, because it was too noisy, and it gives me a headach. It's too bad, they should have less tables, a little more space (because we were having the feeling we also were eating with the 2 tables aside us ...), it will be less noisy, and more enjoyable. We had live the place really quickly because we were too unconfortable.

This place is great: good location, great food, reasonable prices. I had the soul of the day which was pumpkin based, the mushroom pate, and the hot chocolate. Everything was great! I wish I'd had room for dessert
