Good Food - Edit
Found this restaurant on my Happy Cow app. All 3 of us loved the food and wonderful service. We do not speak much French and were happy the waiter spoke English. He was helpful and funny. Only one of us is plant based but all 3 enjoyed our meal. My 80 year old mom didn't believe it was vegan. So happy I used my app!

amazing discovery - Edit
Thanks to this app we found Brasserie Lola while visiting Paris. The food was creative, the staff was super friendly and the ambiance oh so Parisian. The other customers were also very nice. We went back the second night and had the same pleasant experience. We each tried a different dish than we had the first night and loved it just as much. We were honored to meet chef Alain, a really nice man. Bravo!

My Favorite Vegan Restaurant - Edit
I simply love Lola Brasserie. I discovered it when I moved in the neighborhood. And it's amazing.
Read moreThe restaurant looks like a 'regular' Parisian Brasserie, very cozy with a warm atmosphere, nice old wooden tables, a chess game somewhere, jazzy-trip-hop-classy music (not too loud!) and the owners are adorable.
The cocktails are delicious, they taste like candies or display seasonal flavors (watermeloon mojorito in summer !).
My favorite meal is the vegan cheese-burger ! It's so tasty, I frankly never ate a better burger. And the desserts. Ho you will not know what to choose ! The ice cream is home made, the french toasts are my favorites, I can't get enough of them.
The dishes on the menu are simple but so tasty. Don't expect something very sophisticated, after all, it's a Brasserie, but a very good one.

Awesome food - Edit
Possibly the best main dish I've ever had, which was a risotto with a bunch of veggies on the side. Perfect consistency and more flavor than any risotto I've ever had, despite the lack of butter. Great organic AOC wine as well. My sister's dish also amazing. Dessert could've been a little better.
Read moreFriendliest staff of any restaurant I've ever been, immediately felt like best friends and eager to talk. Chef great guy.
Pros: Food, Friendly staff, Wine
Cons: Dessert

A sense of normal - Edit
I went to Brasserie Lola last night. The first thing that struck me was that it was a normal Brasserie. The only thing different was the vegan menu. The food was nice, maybe not 100% healthy but I felt at ease with the atmosphere there. I would highly recommend a visit to this Parisian Brasserie!

Don't leave before tasting their chocolate cake! - Edit
Great vegan bistro. You can find some interesting replacement dishes here. We tried the Kebab, which was good, but the chocolate cake was amazing. You cannot miss it if you go to Paris.
Read moreThe staff was incredibly accommodating. The coffee could have been a little better. All in all, a great place.
Pros: Chocolate cake, Staff, Interior
Cons: Coffee, Kebab a little bland

Vegan Brasserie style food - Edit
This place does standard French Brasserie style food, but vegan! Let's you try out what Parisians eat (very non-vegan!) while still being vegan. I had the Croque Monsieur, which I would never normally be able to eat. And a Pain Perdu pudding, which was amazing. Great place for a vegan to go to experience France as a vegan.

Typical brasserie, discretly but deliciously vegan - Edit
I really liked the very parisian "brasserie" atmosphere : from outside and still inside you cannot really tell that the restaurant is vegan (there is a very discrete mention on the menu). A lot of people come eat here, not knowing it is vegan at first, which I found great.
Read moreThe food is quite good, although maybe a bit expensive, for example the price of burgers is at least 5 euros higher than in other vegeterian-vegan burgers places.
Pros: Brasserie atmosphere
Cons: Expensive

Veggies! - Edit
Usually when you order a vegan club sandwich it comes with layers of tofurkey slices, "cheese" and vegenaise. The one I had here was beautiful - nothing fake. Just grilled veggies like aubergine and courgette and capsicum. There was a nice avocado spread instead of mayo. The good isn't super fancy but it's fresh and tastes great. It was a big portion with salad and fries. The cafe is on a corner in a cute area near the Eiffel Tower. It's a great stop for a quiet lunch if you're in that area. And the staff were friendly and spoke good English.

boring food - Edit
I had high expectations for this busy brasserie. I was mostly disappointed.
Read moreService was good, but food was bland and un-inventive. My appetizer was a vegetable tempura plate on a bed of salad greens- Nothing interesting here.
My croque Monsieur was a simple ham sandwich with whole wheat bread (kinda wonder bread) with some cheese on top.
My dessert sample was alright. I liked the raspberry tart and the bread pudding was ok, but very sweet. The sorbet was so sweet, I couldn't eat it. I am not coming back for the food...maybe happy hour?
Pros: service, location, ambiance
Cons: bland food

I had the Samosas to start, followed by the Club Sandwich and Flambéed banana with vegan ice cream. It was very tasty, and service was good. I'll definitely return on my next visit to Paris!

Delicious meal, and drink portions were massive! - Edit
Brasserie Lola was one of my favorite places while visiting Paris. I'm not sure what the reviewer below is speaking about, but I visited on 8/25/2015 and they were definitely open for business! The food was delicious and portions very large. We also had some cocktails and the drink sizes were huge! Just an FYI for any non-French speakers, the menu was only in French so bring a mini dictionary or translator if you need to. Since the Eiffel Tower is only a 10 minute walk from the restaurant, I highly recommend having dinner at Lola's and going there to see the sparkling lights, very romantic :)

Great vegan restaurant - Edit
I was very happy to find this vegan restaurant within walking distance of our apartment near La Tour Eiffel. It is an eclectic menu. In our two visits, we tried samosas, pad Thai, veggie stir-fry, risotto, crostini, bread pudding, banana flambe, sorbet and ice cream. It was all delicious. Our servers were all very friendly and helped us as best they could with the French-only menu.

Nice vegan spot in the 15th arrondissement - Edit
The Brasserie Lola has opened last year, and is one of the very few (if not non-existent) vegan options in this part of Paris (the whole West/South side of the city is desperately in need of veggie places).
Read moreSo I went there with great expectatives, and I wasn't disappointed. The neighbourhood is a little posh, but the prices aren't too bad: there is a nice lunch set around 17€. Otherwise, one basic course will be around 15-17€.
It's not cheap, but it's ok.
There is a lot of choice of seitan burgers, sandwiches, and mostly fusion food. The quality is not incredible, but it's a little above average. The fries were a little greasy. It didn't always convey a "home made feeling".
One the plus side, the quantity was quite above the average.
The main pro being the atmosphere: the place is (unusually for a veggie venue) nicely decorated like a chic brasserie. It's bright, well-located, and big enough to be able to cater a lot of people, but without losing its charm.
On contrary to what some people said in other comments, the service (2 different girls) was great when I was there, so I guess bad service is not a pattern there.
So my final note would be somewhere between 3 and 4. I put 4 because I was quite happy with this first experience. But I'll probably adjust it when coming back for a second opinion.

vegan place for group meeting in Paris - Edit
It's a typical parisian brasserie and it's not written but everything in there is vegan.
Read moreI had a farewell vegan dinner in Brasserie Lola. We were 4O people, they couldn't serve every table at the same time, which I totally understand, and some table finished when some just started but we had good times.
I found it pricey according to me, but definitely a good place to try
Pros: if you like parisian architecture
Cons: a little pricey for me

very nice Paris Bistrot - Edit
We took lunch there before going on walking to the Musée Guimet (which we liked very much, too). We sat in the shadow in front of the restaurant(during the summer heat of July) and enjoyed our little menu with a fresh couscous-salade and some light wine. Exactly what you want to have on a hot summer day. It is situated on the corner of two streets, there are cars driving by, but all the same it is not very noisy or smelly, but you feel like in any typical little "Paris bistrot".
Read moreWe recommend it!
Pros: Good food on a hot summer day, Friendly staff, Feels typically "Paris"

Un très bon restaurant - Edit
We have dined here twice this week and love the location, very close to metro station Avenue Emile Zola.The decor and ambiance, abundant light, cream colored tables and chairs, board games of chess or backgammon on a few tables, very relaxed and fun outlook. The resto sits on a mildly busy street corner. The staff greets you with warmth and smiles. The menu is written on a black board outside and the waiter brings the whole board on your table for you to make your choice. The first night we had a vegetable soup, delicious with just the right creaminess and seasonning, my husband opted for the "hotdog hollandais" and fries, which was disappointing as he was expecting a French-like kind of dog, a big "sausage" in a baguette with Dijon but got a very ordinary (for us Canadians) soft bun with a thin veggie sausage and red cabbage slaw in it. The fries though are an absolute must, home made, golden and crispy, don't miss them if you like fries. I had the special du jour, a half red pepper stuffed with quinoa and covered with tomato sauce, accompanied by a green salad. This was tasty but too small a portion. We were both still wanting more so we ordered dessert. I had the Café Lola gourmand", a coffee with samples of two desserts, the "pain perdu caramélisé" and the chocolate cake; neither was outstanding, the chocolate cake was dry and the pain perdu was so-so, only the caramelized walnuts and dollop of whipped cream on top were really good. My husband had ice cream, strawberry and banana, which he really liked. We decided to go back with a French omnivorous friend as we liked the staff and decor so much, and as it was the best vegan restaurant we had gone to so far (including Saveurs Veget'Halles, Bio d'Adam et Ève, Loving Hut) and this time we were not disappointed; everything was delicious and in the right amount. Between the three of us we had the risotto et ses légumes fumés, the thaï soup, the beignets de légumes, and the croque-monsieur with fries, and everyone was raving about his food. My friend was so impressed that he asked for the restaurant business card. Long life to Lola!

Cons: Some portions are small?
