Had decent vegan food

A bit shocked this closed as my mental association for the Paris vegan scene was quite connected to this restaurant. I think the first time I visited it was not fully vegan but it became meanwhile, and always had many vegan options.

It was not the type of food I love, that is quite thought, it was more what I call a "gathering of ingredients in a plate" where no matter the main part of the dish, the side dish is always the same, but to be honest, they made it work somehow, I think it's the only restaurant ever where I actually appreciated this type of food.

Wish they eventually reopen!

Big portions

They give you a big plate of food with a ton of side dishes and you get to pick a pain dish (I got a spinach and potato pie). The pie was good and most of the side dishes were good, there were a couple I that were meh.

Pros: Vegan , Organic , Big portion

Amazing food

We got off the train at Gare de Lyon and this was a closest fully vegan place and my god was it tasty!
We got lasagna and pumpkin mushroom tarte, each dish comes with 4-5 different sides and everything was absolutely delicious.
Our first vegan resto experience in Paris and we couldn't be happier about it, we'll definitely come back💗

Pros: Amazing food!, Lovely atmosphere, Menu changes frequently

Simple et savoureux

C’est tout petit mais qu’est ce que c’est bon ! En été, les quelques tables en terrasse augmente un peu la capacité mais il est plus prudent de réserver.
Les plats sont simples mais le goût est là !

Pros: Bio, Eco responsable , Healthy

Veg on veg on veg

So many varieties of dish to choose from. I was thoroughly satisfied at the end of my meal. They have a set menu, but pile loads of different plants on your plate. I remember being overwhelmed by all the colors. Can't wait to visit again!

Excellente cuisine

Une jolie adresse à côté de République, où les quelques tables invitent q réserver. Plusieurs options de plats, toutes accompagnées d’une assiette complète qui peut se suffire à elle-même.
On se sent comme à la maison, avec une impression de fraîcheur et de manger une cuisine de tous les jours (lentilles, riz, houmous, chou rouge, fenouil, champignons) avec une touche épicée par la coriandre, la chicorée ou le cumin.
Sans aucun doute notre adresse préférée à Paris

Pros: Plats savoureux, Service agréable, Desserts sans gluten

Cons: Exiguë, Réservations obligatoires

Simple mais bon

J’ai déjeuné un dimanche, proposition de 3 plats du jour avec une salade de légumes et légumineuses en accompagnement, j’ai pris les lasagnes et c’était très bon,très riche aussi, j’étais repu.
Pas de la haute gastronomie mais efficace et goûtu.

Pros: Riche nutritionnellement , Personnel sympathique , Bon emplacement

Cons: Petit endroits, peu de place assise , Il y fait assez froid , La déco est vieillotte mais ça fait son charme

Amazing food and lovely staff

We visited for lunch on our first day in Paris and this was just what we needed after travelling. Greeted by lovely staff and we both had the lasagne which was accompanied by possibly the best salad I’ve ever eaten.

Frische, kreative und bunte Gerichte

Kleines Restaurant mit eng stehenden Tischen, englischsprachiges, sehr freundliches Personal. Wir haben hausgemachte Tartes bestellt, die zusammen mit verschiedenen frischen Salaten serviert wurden.
Am besten reservieren oder gleich zur Öffnungszeit kommen.

Pros: Alles vegan, Frisch zubereitet , Englischsprachiges Personal

Cons: recht eng

Cosy little place

Cosy little place. We ordered a salad mix each, followed by gluten free spinach lasagna and mushroom and corn pie, which was slightly spicy.
For dessert, we opted for the trio du jour: biscuit base + chocolate mousse + cream. Welcoming staff.

Good Lunch Spot with some outdoor tables.

I haven't been to Cafe Ginger in years and was glad to see it is even better than before, and certainly still as crowded. We arrived at opening for lunch so was really able to enjoy it. We liked the asparagus tart, and love the accompaniments that come with it. Bring your appetite to this one. It's worth it.

Small gem close to Bastille

Loved this place. A small cafe that offers really delicious food, all organic and vegan. Thanks to the nice lady that kindly helped me going through the menu. The lasagna was delicious! If you ever come to Paris and you’re vegan (or even if you’re not but want to try something different) definitely visit this place :)

Pros: Kind staff, Delicious and good quality food, Cozy atmosphere

Lovely

The food was lovely and I really, really enjoyed it. And I do not seem to be the only one to have that opinion because it was absolutely crowded when I went.

Vegan Gem Near Bastille

Great vegan restaurants are happy establishments, and this is definitely one of them!

Great food, friendly staff, cute place. Highly recommended!

Definitely on the squishy side, so if you're traveling, leave your bags at your hotel.

For English speaking travelers, they understand English well enough to explain what the dishes are, which is greatly appreciated!

Pros: Vegan. Happy place. Healthy. Great!

Cons: Small so it fills quickly. Might also have to wait

absolutely amazing

My friend and I came here twice during our trip to Paris.
This tiny gem is filling, full of flavor and it’s healthy !!!. The service is great, You can tell the owner takes pride in his work, he is very friendly and He speaks English so this is a plus for ignorant Americans like myself. I will highly recommend stoping by here when you are in the area, you will not be disappointed!!

Pros: filling , healthy , unique

Cons: none , none , none

Good food but expensive and small place

The food is good, served on a large plate with a variety of different options with cold sidings and a warm main dish (which you choose from the day's menu).
But the place is very small and everywhere you are it feels crowded.
A bit expensive for a lunch.
Service was nice although you have to ask things again to get them.
Convenient location just in Bastille area.

Pros: Delicious food

Cons: Small place, On the expensive side
