Worth going! - Edit
In general it was good but based on reviews, I expected a bit more. Disappointed by the French onion soup, was hoping for a taste closer to original, it also didn't have many onions in it...
Read moreDeserts were nice but not amazing.
Will still be back to try other things on the menu :)
Pros: Location, Friendly stuff
Cons: Very cramped place packed with tables

Great vegan restaurant in Paris - Edit
We had dinner at this very popular place. Reservations are recommended. The food was fantastic. We had the buckwheat crepe and seaweed tartare to start. The pancakes were super. For entrees we had the seitan bourguignon - wonderful, the lasagna, and fried vegetables with smoked tofu. Portions were large. The mashed potatoes were excellent, the bread so-so.The carrot cake was good, but small. Service was excellent. I highly recommend this place, it is the best of the vegetarian restaurants that we tried in Paris.

Simply Great! - Edit
After 4 years of absence we've made it back to Paris and this time we had a table reservation and everything was simply perfect - from service to food.

We were looking for a French restaurant serving vegan "French" food, and we were lucky that we found this place. We were also lucky to get a free table, so you should definetely consider a reservation if you plan your trip upfront.
Okay, the food is expensive, but it is just outstanding, so you get what you pay for. I am looking forward to visit Paris again - and this place is one of the reasons why.

Amazing food - Edit
This is a little place near the Pompidou Centre. The food is incredible, so it's always packed out. Not cheap, but worth it for food that good. We didn't book and had to wait a while, but I'm glad we did.

Perfect for lunch after a visit to Centre Pompidou - Edit
We headed to Le Potager du Marais for a late lunch after a visit to Centre Pompidou. Even at 2.30 pm it was busy, but we found a table outside. The waiter checked that we were happy to eat outside. He indulged my French, very kindly, and spoke excellent English. He was very friendly and helpful, and brought a bottle of filtered water while we looked at the menu. My husband chose the day's special, a goulash of seitan with mushrooms plus almond brown rice. I had the cassoulet of pink lentils, smoked tofu, seaweed and hazelnuts, also with almond brown rice. I had a huge pot of Ceylon tea and my husband had a café crème. Our table was almost over loaded! The waiter arranged everything very skilfully, though. Everything was delicious. It is expensive (€16/£12/$17 for a main course), but very filling and nutritious. We didn't have room for a dessert! And it is located in a central area of Paris, full of museums, boutiques and other restaurants. I'd say it was similar to the Covent Garden area in London or the West Village in New York, so it wasn't unexpected that the prices were high. I would like to experience the three course dinner menu.

Good food, not cheap - Edit
Small and crowded small restaurant. Good location 20m away fron subway. The food was ok and the staff very very friendly. Better to reserve in advance. Mostly visited by locals. The tables are too close to each other, so don't expect any privacy. A good choice for Paris, although the price is above the media for a vegan restaurant. I recommend their cheese, the seitan with red wine and the wonderful mousse.

Fine French cuisine goes Vegan!! - Edit
This is a lovely, intimate small restaurant. The host Francois is a warm, lovely man who tries to squeeze as many hungry people as he can into this great restaurant. The dishes were twists of classic French dishes but totally Vegan. We had three courses and wine and the price was reasonable for Paris. Topped it off with Vegan Creme Brulee. First time I've had that since going Vegan. And it was great! Go there but book ahead to avoid disappointment - this place gets packed.

Great rustic French food - Edit
My omnivore companion and I both had the onion soup and stuffed eggplant. She said it was the best meal we had in Paris, and it certainly was for me given that I'd been struggling to find one thing to eat at most restaurants. We arrived in the afternoon about 45 minutes before closing, but the server warned us about the closing time before we sat down, so we ordered quickly and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I took chocolate cake to go, so I even had a tasty dessert later.

Awesome menu - Edit
Great restaurant. Had dinner outside. Not the fastest, but we were not in a rush, and it was nice to sit outside and wait and enjoy the meals. The menu looked very impressive with a great selection of very tasty french dishes.
Read moreWent for the Onion Soup and Seitan de Bourguignon, which were both unbelievably good. Would definitely go back there again when in Paris.
Very friendly waiter as well. Great location too, 100 meters from the metro stop.

Just what we came for - Edit
My mum and I visited this place in November 2014 on a long weekend, when we managed to sample numerous Parisian eateries. This was her favourite.
Read moreI felt the food was distinctively French - a balance of richness and delicacy, prepared with care and respect for natural flavours. Everything we had was mmmm delicious, and the chocolatey pudding caused us eye-rolling pleasure.
As well as being an ideal place to experience traditional French food as a vegan it's also a great venue for bringing British omnivores as it's a style of cuisine that doesn't seem, you know, *vegan*, only slightly exotic in that it's continental - sauces, veg that's had stuff judiciously done to it, bakes just browned to perfection, seasoning spot on. That's what you can expect here.
It'll set you back a fair few euro though...
Pros: lovely menu, friendly service, next to Pompidou - handy!
Cons: pricey

Worth The Trip - Edit
We just returned from a week in Paris, and this turned out to be the only vegan restaurant we were able to work into our touring schedule - and it was well worth the adventure.
Read moreI had an eggplant special, and my wife had spinach lasagna. Both were elegantly plated (this being France, after all) and delicious. Only wish we had had room for dessert.
Small, friendly and quite busy. A reasonable walk from nearest subway station through a very lively neighborhood and business district. You pass right by the Centre Pompidou, and are only a short walk from the Picasso Museum and National Archives.
Pros: Great food, Friendly/helpful (spoke english) waitres

Good vegan food - Edit
We did not make a reservation but the staff gave us a table. They were very busy so do make sure you book a table in advance. We ordered the pancake and vegetable pie as starters. The portions were very large. The vegetable pie was delicious however the pancake we didn't enjoy as much. Mains we had spinach Lasagne which was slightly dry and tofu vegetables with mash which was bland and needed a sauce. But we did enjoy the desserts. We had the chocolate Mousse and hazelnut chocolate cake. Overall we still recommend this place.

Vraiment très bon - Edit
Une bonne adresse de restaurant Végéta*ien.
Read moreJ'ai pris le Bourguignon au Seitan, vraiment excellant.
Le dessert du jour : Flan orange/Carotte à tomber par terre!
La qualité/prix est légèrement cher mais les plats sont vraiment très bon! En gros pour un plat/dessert il y en a pour environs 27€.
Je conseille de réserver avant d'y aller au risque d'attendre au minimum 30 min. L'intérieur est assez petit.
Je le conseille vivement.
Pros: Bonne nourriture
Cons: Un peu cher, Petite salle

So good had to go back the next night - Edit
I ate here for dinner twice in as many days, both visits with Omnis. Lots of traditional French dishes to choose from, among other options (such as lasagna, highly recommended!). The desserts both nights were excellent as well. It's a big menu, lots of options so everyone in your party should be able to find something they will like. Or love! Be sure to make a reservation.

Excellent repas végane - Edit
De passage sur Paris pour quelques jours, nous avons testé ce restaurant végane que j'ai trouvé sur HappyCow.
Read moreNous sommes arrivés à l'ouverture à 19h (j'avais vu dans les commentaires qu'il valait mieux réserver mais nous nous y sommes pris trop tard (le restaurant ferme entre 15h et 19h, je n'ai donc pas pu les joindre). Nous avons pu nous installer immédiatement.
Nous avons pris chacun une crêpe au sarrasin avec la garniture de champignons, c'était excellent (une nouvelle idée de recette que je veux refaire chez moi) (à noter que la crêpe était dans la partie "entrée" mais c'était bien assez copieux pour être un plat principal) . J'ai ensuite commandé le moelleux au chocolat qui était très bon.
Le service était rapide et le personnel très accueillant et sympathique, merci de nous avoir si bien reçu !
Seul bémol : leur menu ne comporte pas de glaces (avec cette chaleur, cela aurait été agréable !)
Je recommande ce restaurant !
Pros: personnel sympatique, service rapide, bonne nourriture
Cons: pas de glace

Interesting veganized French food - Edit
We had a good experience and it was definitely worth going to so I could try authentic French food because it was vegan. We had the French onion soup (yumm!!!!) and the spinach lasagne (it was ok, a little dry, but it came with a nice salad with horseradish dressing). Since so many others recommended the chestnut chocolate cake, we got it and loved it as well as the Tarte Tatin, which had an almost sweet potato taste to it. The service was really slow, perhaps because we were sitting outside (we noticed that people who sat inside came and left before we were done), but it was so nice outside (people watching :) and I like how some countries take their time for meals.

Our Favorite Cafe In Paris - Edit
We have been going to this little vegan cafe for years when we are in Paris. It is such an interesting and delicious slant on food - French Vegan - although I have not had typical French food and do not how close it actually is, it is wonderful food and really unusual. The owner is charming and passionate about his food and your dining experience. We love the Crusty Quinoa Burger and the chocolate chestnut cake is truly award winning. The only thing I find odd is that if you are sitting outside, and it is lovely on a rainy day, you may encounter cigarette smoke - so incongruous with healthy food! You are in for a treat at the Potager du Marais.

best vegan option in paris - Edit
Paris will probably never be known for its vegetarian/vegan cuisine but Le Potager du Marais is one of your best bets in the city. Eating here is like eating a wonderful home cooked meal with warm, friendly service. It's not cutting-edge cuisine by any means but sometimes simple is best. Tasty and hearty with surprisingly large portions. Be sure to try the onion soup!
Read moreJust be sure to make reservations as the space is small and was packed when we were there.

Romantic, classic French restaurant, but vegan! - Edit
My partner and I love this restaurant. We have been multiple times and it is always delicious. It is tucked away in the Marais and has the look of a traditional intimate French bistro. Definitely appropriate for an romantic evening as well as for dinner with a group of friends. The food they serve is mostly classic French food but veganised. My partner swears their bourguignon is the best thing he has ever eaten. They also have out of this world desserts and great wine. Friendly service.

Very popular, great vegan food - Edit
Very popular -bookings essential especially on the weekend. Good service, great food. There was an extensive menu to choose from, including a seitan stew, a vegie lasagna with a nut cream topping, various pastries, tarted. Everything was vegan. Highly recommended.
Read moreThe owners have already expanded once and are now planning another expansion. They aim to show that vegan food can be cooked in French style.
Great location very near metro Rambateaux.
Pros: Great menu choises, Great service, Great location
Cons: Somewhat crowded., Booked out on our first choice of day.

Excellent food, slightly slow service - Edit
This is another all-vegan lunchtime spot in Paris that gets busy quickly! We had a table booked for 12 as we were getting a train in the early afternoon, but the waitress was just setting up and it was 15 minutes before we were actually served.
Read moreThe menu was really tempting though. I had the cassoulet de la mer, which had lentils, hazelnuts and seaweed in, creating a really fresh, salty taste. I loved it! My partner had the aubergine surprise, which was aubergine rolls stuffed with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and cheese. The best kind of surprise! While the mains were fresh and tasty, the desserts were even better. The tarte tatin was really sticky and tasty, and the creme brulee was huge, beautifully spiced with ginger and had the right texture. Lovely!
Pros: Great menu, Fresh, delicious food
Cons: Service sometimes a little slow
