Best west African food I’ve had! - Edit
Great choice of tasty vegan dishes and drinks (try the aloe juice and definitely get the fried plantain as a starter!). Lovely service.

Surprenant et délicieux - Edit
De l'entrée à partager au dessert très fin et savoureux, le dîner a été une succession de découvertes délicieuses ! Service attentionné et ambiance propice à la détente et à la conversation sans souffrir des décibels.

Ótimo ambiente, comida deliciosa! - Edit
O "L'Ambuscade" tem um ambiente muito aconchegante, com as luzes mais baixas e a decoração com discos antigos, mapa das ilhas de Cabo Verde e um bar com muitas bebidas para os drinques preparados na hora e notas de dinheiro de diferentes moedas do mundo junto de desenhos e mensagens penduradas, mostrando que o local tem história.
Read moreA pesar de ser Agosto, também estava uma temperatura agradável.
O atendimento também foi muito bom.
A comida fica dentro do preço habitual para Paris, com entrada, prato principal e sobremesa ficando na casa dos 30 e poucos euros por pessoa.
A entrada de banana frita é sensacional!
Os pratos principais foram muito bons também, mas a estrela da noite foi a sobremesa. Pedimos uma de cada, ambas misturam itens quentes e frios e frutas com outras delícias.
De maneira geral os pratos também são bem servidos, de forma que a refeição satisfaz e encontramos ofertas de coisas que apenas restaurantes africanos vão oferecer, como o suco de "bissap" (hibisco).
Não experimentamos bebidas alcoolicas, embora os drinques pareçam ser pontos fortes do local também.
Pros: Ambiente, Comida saborosa e típica, Sobremesa

Excellent restaurant ! - Edit
Une très bonne expérience à L’Embuscade. Des serveurs sympathiques, une ambiance agréable et de très bons plats : l’aubergine rôtie aux épices marocaines était succulente ! De même pour la banane flambée en dessert. Soirée dj jusqu’à 2h du matin le week-end !

West African Vegan food and a cool lady co-owner! - Edit
AfroVegan is DELICIOUS!! Wonderful food that melts in your mouth. I LOVED it! I also was happy to try African Vegan food. I got the Big- Bun Soote. It was delicious and I had a dessert with mini beignets as well that was yummy too.
Read moreThe lady owner is from Cameroon and previously Italy and England. She was a hoot. She is all vegan and cares about the owner. Her partner (or husband?) is the main chef and he is from somewhere else in West Africa( I have forgotten now that is has been a few months.) They were lovely people to talk to and share stories with.
Pros: Wonderful Taste!, Great service, unique al
Cons: Can't think except I don't drink alcohol /at a bar

Découvert par hasard, on y est allés avec une bande d'amis non végé ni végans, tout le monde s'est régalé pour les plats! On n'a pas trouvé le dessert "boulettes chocolat sur lit de poires" intéressant; les cocktails étaient sympas! Très bon accueil, et on a beaucoup aimé l'ambiance générale! On y retournera de façon certaine!

The food was delicious, I've loved every dish! It's tasty, well cooked, savory. I'd come again to try the rest of the menu. The portions were good also, you're eating fresh food and I've got to thank the Chef in his kitchen as I went to the bathroom, He was so humble and happy

I unfortunately just came for dessert and a drink, so I didn’t get to try the main dishes lol, But the dessert was amazing! So I imagine the main courses are just as amazing. The atmosphere was great and service was so friendly.

Fun and enjoyable bar!! - Edit
This review is based on the late-night scene at L’Embuscade as I arrived well after midnight and the kitchen was already closed. They had a DJ and the place had the right amount of people you want to see in a bar. Had a fantastic cocktail made of whiskey with shaved cacao on top. Music, staff, vibes were all excellent. Next time I’ll come in time for dinner!!

An English Vegan in Paris - Edit
This is an amazing place to go on a Saturday night. It’s lively, has a cool vibe and great music. The food was exceptional. To start we shared the Cauliflower and red onion bahjis, with jerk bbq sauce, which were full of flavour, and Safou and melon tartare. This was a more subtle dish; it felt more like a palate cleanser but was perfect. For main, I had Mbongo tofu which was amazing and my husband had Mbahalou saloum which was tasty and wholesome. Dessert was Los diablitos which was a perfect finish to a fantastic meal.
