Good quality food

This restaurant is small, but the food is excellent. We started with the cauliflower, which was really nicely prepared. The mains were great too!

Amazing

Great food, quick and friendly service.
We didn’t reserve a table but they were able to squeeze us in nonetheless (but I recommend reserving).

Velsmakende og sjarmerende!

Koselig, liten restaurant med veldig god mat, som man ikke får så mange andre steder. Hyggelig personale og mange alkoholfrie drinker. De har også bissap!

Pros: Smaksrik mat, Bissap, Hyggelig personale

Excellent restaurant !

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!

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.

The 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

Delicious food!

Amazing food and vibes! They even have a little mini club hidden downstairs. We had starters main and dessert. Beware the namesake cocktail is an acquired taste

Miam miam :-)

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!

Pros: Les plats!!!!!!!, L'ambiance, L'accueil et le service

Cons: dessert boulettes de chocolat

Tasty food

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

Pros: Tasty and well cooked food, Pretty fast service, Good portions

Cons: The restaurant is a bit loud to me , The restaurant is rather small

Very cool place

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.

Sehr lecker und sympathisch

Sehr leckeres Essen in freundlicher, lockerer Atmosphäre. Man bekommt spät abends noch was zu essen und kann auch einfach nur an der Bar etwas trinken.

Fun and enjoyable bar!!

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

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.

Pros: Fantastically flavoursome, Generous portions, Great vibe and great service

Incroyable

J’ai adoré la déco du lieu et la musique, j’ai pris à emporter leur burger qui était délicieux mais c’est surtout leurs frites de patate douce qui sont absolument incroyables.

Authentic ambience and great food!

We got:
- orange lemonade (good, but some spice I didn't like)
- jackfruit and peanut stuffed patties (amazing)
- aloco (very good)
- plantain crisps (very good)
- los diablitos (fantastic)

I also really liked the music and the laid-back vibe.
Staff was super friendly.

Afro-vegan!

Excellent little bar/restaurant with a short but inspired menu of Afro-inspired vegan dishes. We really enjoyed the food, the cocktails, the hospitality and the general vibe. Located on one of Montmatre's quieter streets, it is well worth seeking out. Good times await you!

Pros: Great to try some West African dishes, Not at all touristy, Friendly & helpful staff

Fabuleux resto afrovegan

J'ai eu la chance de passer une incroyable soirée à l'embuscade, resto afrovegan à Paris.

Le cadre est chaleureux, coloré, musical, c'est simple à peine rentré qu'on se sent immédiatement bien 😁
Coup de 💖 pour
* la citronnade à la fleur d'oranger (absolument incroyable ✨️✨️)
* les chips plantain et houmous de haricots (trop bon)

Un lieu vegan et parisien que je ne peux que recommander 🎉
