First Review by JonJon

good food, great atmosphere, lovely staff! - Edit

The food was good but nothing too outstanding. I had the pad thai and 2 friends had the kebab special of the day (like a wrap in America). Loved the atmosphere of the place and the staff was the friendliest and upbeat we had at a restaurant during our 4 days in Paris. They were laid back but very attentive. No English menu, but not too tough to figure out—EVERYTHING is vegetarian. If you’re going for just drinks, they serve a bring a serving of popcorn, which was pretty whimsical and fun. Surrounding area is lively and pretty classic European Metropolis (we were there on a Friday night).

Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Food

The only vegan brasserie - Edit

First time in my life that I see so many people from young to old eating vegan. Seeing these old people at the table next to us mad me feel great.
The fact that it's vegan is very subtle and I even had to ask to make sure everything was OK for me. Maybe that's why there was so many people. They weren't scared by the vegan devil. It was 12pm saturday.

There is a lot of no gluten options, almost everything and that is splendid.

I ate samossas (gluten), beignets de legumes, double face bagel (gluten) and the no glu chocolate cake. My main course wasn't great, i took something that i didn't really like because I took too much time to choose. I want to go back there and take something that I really want not something chosen randomly. It was a bagel, nothing special about it. OtherWise the food was really good. That dessert was fantastic. I haven't eaten a chocolate cake fondant with ice cream and no gluten since.. ever. The entries were good too. It's no fancy retaurant, it's classic tasty vegan food. A brasserie. Everything I saw on the other tables was looking delicious.

Forget about the croque monsieur (vegan cheese is no tasty to me) and the bagel (nothing special about it) and you'll be all set.

There was a large selection and I want to go back and try the other dishes!!

But the price is a bit too up for me (I have no job at the moment) .

Pros: nogluten everywhere, choice, TASTY

Cons: noise, room , price

not convinced - Edit

I was there for kunch so I ordered from the lunch menu but the options were not very appealing; I had rice and vegetable and it was too sweet to my taste. This said, I'd be curious to go back and order à la carte.

Pros: traditionnal brasserie, opens early, staff was adorable

Cons: food was average, packed on lunch time

Classic French brasserie - Edit

Loved the atmosphere - classic French brasserie style. Fun thing is that it's vegan but they basically keep that a secret - you can't tell from outside, in fact you can't really tell from the menu unless you peer really closely and wonder why the cheeseburger involves "seitan". I had said cheeseburger and chips, and it's good

the best vegan food everrrr - Edit

wauw, that kinda sums it up !! guess this was the best vegan food I ever had in a restaurant. My boyfriend and me shared a vegan burger and grilled veggie sandwich, both came with fresh homemade fries and a side salad. Bothe the dishes were full of flavor, and , what I do like, big portions ;-) , I do love my food haha. The service was very good and real friendly. Totally would recommend it to anyone. Cosy aswell . I'll def will go back there again.

Pros: amazing food, real friendly , quick service, nice vibe

Cons: a bit pricey but def worth it, cramped seating

An Inconspicuously Vegan Brasserie - Edit

I've visited Brasserie Lola many times already.

The brasserie feels more like a place where people from the neighborhood would go. With no vegan signs anywhere to avoid scaring people away. :)

The menu is not large; but there are plenty of choices for different tastes, such as kebab, pad thai, burgers and sandwiches. There are also "plates of the day" served from Monday to Friday.
All food is tasty; but my personal favorite is the lasagna ( too bad its not in their regular menu).

The ambience is enjoyable, different from what you get in other vegan places in Paris. The service is attentive, although when it gets packed it could be a bit slow.

It opens non-stop from the early morning, which is hard to find (for vegans) in the city. It's a great choice for a quick bite at any time of the day; or for a tea time (my favorite dessert is the "pain perdu").

Pros: very tasty food, opening times, good value

Cons: nada

Vegan Banana Split - Edit

I met up with a friend here for a slow drink and some people watching, but to my surprise I sat down, looked at the menu, and straight away ordered an American-style Banana Split. It looked and tasted just like the banana splits I used to sneak at the diner after hours during my first job as a teenager.

The banana split was delicious, if indulgent. I felt like I was 10 years old eating it and I'm not apologizing to anybody. Looking forward to my next trip to Paris. :)

Pros: Delicious vegan ice cream , would be good for chillin' with friends , food looked pretty good, I just didn't order any

A nice and welcoming Brasserie ! - Edit

We arrived late in Paris at night my dog mate and me , because of the train, so what a shame i hadn't the occasion to take my time to look at the menu, we were just tired and our vegan comrads were waiting for us since hours .
The waitresses were very lovely and patient, and provided immediatly some water to my mate .
I choose a classical so : a big burger with french fries , and for the forst time in my vegan life, as a dessert, i could ordered a Cafe Gourmand , wich i especially appreciated in this typical adorable Parisian Brasserie .
I just recommand

Pros: excellent food , lovely staff, Dogmates welcome

Fantastic! - Edit

This was the highlight of my recent Parisian work trip. This felt like a really typical French experience that I could relax and enjoy without the usual challenges of trying to explain my dietary requirements via my stuttering French. While I don't smoke myself (and find it disgusting) , and this may put some readers off, I found it quite hilarious that an ashtray was plunked onto my table along with the menus as soon as I sat down outside - I just thought it spoke to cultural differences being at play because I could not see the same thing happening at an all-vegan restaurant in North America :-) Anyway, other diners were smoking on other tables but it was not close enough to affect me. I thoroughly enjoyed what I ordered (soup, croque monsieur and some kind of dessert that I am struggling to describe - bread pudding is the closest reference point I can come up with) and the sitting outside watching the city go by as I ate it and I will definitely go out of my way to return on any future visits to Paris.

Pros: Very French, Food tasty and presented well

very friendly staff! - Edit

Had a great meal here, highly recommend the risotto. The staff are incredibly accommodating and forgiving if you don't speak French! Great atmosphere if you want to experience an authentic brasserie but with all vegan food :)

Pros: staff speak perfect English , wide range of meals including dessert, great atmosphere in suburban area

Cons: quite expensive, no English menu
