  • Great for vegetarians, ok for vegans

Visited in September 2016. It all started when I noticed that Sense Eat doesn't label the vegan options in the menu. So, it's necessary to ask the staff which plates are vegan-friendly. That's already a bummer, considering the place is a HappyCow friend. They offer a daily lunch set (appetizer+main or main+dessert) for €19, which is a good value, given that the plates in the regular menu cost about the same (even appetizers cost above €15). You can choose from 3 appetizers; 3 mains and any of the desserts they have in the regular menu. On this particular day, from the lunch set, 1 appetizer and 2 mains were vegan. In the regular menu, many appetizers are vegan; and there are about 4 vegan mains (according to the staff, some vegetarian plates are veganizable). The first disappointment came when we realized that the only vegan dessert they have is some kind of strawberry salad with a sorbet. Perhaps it's delicious; but to me it showed how friendly toward vegans they are. The food we had was alright, nothing great. Portions were also small, so having the appetizer+main set is a good idea. Having said that, I noticed that main plates from the regular menu seemed to have larger portions; and seemed to be more interesting (but just a little bit). I also noticed that vegetarian plates being served to other customers looked better; so I can understand why vegetarian reviews are very positive. The service was good: and the atmosphere was also pleasant. To sum up, I think if you are a vegetarian, you'd probably like it; but, as a vegan, they could show more interest to cater for vegan customers. Sense Eat wouldn't be on my to-go list in Paris; but if you do go, I'd recommend choosing plates from the regular menu.
