Good food in a typical brasserie - Edit
If you're going to see the Eiffel Tower, it's worth a pleasant 10 minute walk to this typically French brasserie nearby. I liked that it didn't have the word "vegan" everywhere - meat-eaters could just wander in and be fooled! The service was really friendly, and the staff spoke English as well as French. We ordered a croque monsieur and a club sandwich, and they were both tasty. They were served with chips and salad. For dessert we had the "gourmande" plate, which featured 2 small pieces of the desserts from the menu, some cream, ice cream and coffee (or tea, if you prefer). Absolutely delicious! Overall it wasn't the best place we visited in Paris, but it was a nice spot.

A nice food stop - Edit
I was just knocking about the area and needed some lunch so I came here. Food was nice and simple but nothing to be overly excited about and a little overpriced. 30 euro's for a soup, a burger & chips, and an orange juice, hmmm! Staff were friendly and it was a good enough spot to watch the world go by.

better than the tour eiffel! - Edit
i was in the vicinity of the tour eiffel in the 7th arrondissement, as i was searching for the art nouveau masterpiece which is the building at 29 avenue rapp. i'd heard about brasserie lola & knew that it would be a quick (brisk, as it happens, given the clear & cold day that it was) 20 minute walk from lavirotte. as i'd always wanted to experience a proper french brasserie, i rushed myself over.
Read morewhen i arrived, nose running & fingers frozen, i was greeted by friendly faces. the waitress, who was fluent in both french & english, was happy to converse in either. she made me a pot of ginger tea & showed me the menu board (available in english or french). the array of options was dazzling! though i had initially been drawn to the spicy pad thai, i settled on a club sandwich. i'd never eaten a vegan version, so was fairly excited (safe to say). this one was perfectly toasted with layers of soft, seasoned, roasted veg that melted in my mouth. the crisp, hand cut chips were divine. i didn't have room for pud, so opted for a cappuccino in order to gird me loins for the return journey. it hit the spot!
when i left, everyone wished me well. i just wish that i'd been able to go back a few times more! it'd take a month to get round the menu. besides, the staff were very welcoming & it's clear that they love what they do. well, who can blame them?
go there! no excuses. :)
Pros: real brasserie experience, vegan style!, warm & friendly staff., massive menu!
Cons: price...but only marginally so.

Wonderful food and wonderful place - Edit
finally went to try Brasserie Lola yesterday night with my friends.
Read moreFirst of all, there was 8 of us, and I was the only vegan BUT everyone really did love their food! Almost all of them got the cheeseburgers and loved it (for trying a bite of it, I can also say it was really nice).
I had a creamy risotto with veggies and it was delicious ! always loved risotto but this one was really beyond the other risotto I tried before!
Being vegan means I'm not used to have desert options, so of course I HAD to try deserts. We share with one of my friend so I tried the chocolate cake and peanuts ice cream, both were just pieces of heaven!!! can't describe how much I've loved it.
Also the wine was good, and the coktail for the aperitif (happy hour til 9pm so 5,50 for a coktail is nice) was refreshing, good and stylish.
I might had that I have also loved the people working there and the atmosphere. We had a big wooden table, but I also definitely think it'd be a good place to have dinner as a couple for example.
Can't wait to go back !
Pros: FOOD!, atmosphere, staff
Cons: might be slightly pricy but worth it!!!

Wonderful! - Edit
Brasserie Lola is a fantastic spot for a good vegan meal. It looks just like a normal brasserie inside and out, and nothing is labeled as vegan, but rest assured, it is 100% vegan. Charming and inviting decor, friendly staff, and awesome food. So nice to finally have a quality vegan place in Paris with continuous service all day!

Update: we ended up visiting three times on our 9 day trip to Paris, and it was by far the best dining we had anywhere on the trip. Seriously, you owe it to yourself to experience the wonderful food and charming atmosphere of this lovely brasserie. Only a 4 minute walk from Commerce station on the 8 line or a 1 minute walk from Avenue Emile Zola station on the 10 line. Visit Lola and enjoy!
Pros: great food, open all day till midnight, nice staff

WOW! Parisien Treasure!!! - Edit
Everything was excellent. The venue, the decor, the ambience, the service. My friend's daughter ordered the samosas. Well I tasted them and had to order...I never order samosas, (a Vegan of almost 30 years I have eaten enough samosas & Falafel to last 3 lifetimes, as soon as you say you are veggie, these are the first two things people offer you (after salad or grilled veg!!!)) but the filling was just amazing! I then had my first ever Croque Monsier! Yummy! Those chips/ pomme frites??? homemade and tasty! I couldn't fit dessert. I will next time... Be back soon!

Paris's new vegan gem! - Edit
Where should I start? This place was just great from start to finish.
Read moreBeing a "brasserie" I expected normal food, nothing fancy, and this is some of the best vegan food I've had in a while. I got the mixed plate which had a bowl of nice thick soup (that reminded me of my mother's actually), a very tasty and clearly non-industrial samosa, and a risotto which was the best risotto I've had in years (including when I was an omni). Also included was a small dessert of French toast (pain perdu) which was moist, sweet but not horribly sugary and with a nice consistency (not doughy or dry). All this was 22€ which I think is a good deal and the portions weren't too small, although I would have liked to know that I didn't have a choice of dessert before ordering.
I also had a purple cosmopolitan which had a nice flavour.
My friend who is allergic to gluten had a salad and a Pad Thaï along with a chocolate cake with whipped cream, which were equally lovely; although I would say 9€ is a bit steep for a spinach salad but those are probably normal prices in Paris.
I really loved the diversity on the menu which has soups, lasagna, burger, a bagel, the risotto, Pad Thaï (some things are on rotation). The starters and desserts are equally diverse and they have homemade ice cream. Everything is clearly made on the spot by an attentive chef. I really have to give an A+ to the food.
The setting is also lovely, with a pretty big seating area, candles on the table, floor-to-ceiling windows all around, and excellent music which is at just the right volume. They've done a great job of blending the casual friendly atmosphere of a Brasserie with the coziness and character of a more upscale restaurant. It's a good place for any occasion, date, dinner with friends, or business lunch. My only dislike was that it smelled like cigarette when we got there due to the smoking customers outside and the doors being open; but the smell dissipated quickly.
The staff were really lovely and patient with us. They are located in a nice area with a metro just a few metres away. Being open until midnight is also fantastic as there are very limited options for hungry vegans in Paris past 10:30pm.
All in all, this might become one of my new favourite vegan haunts and we left contemplating what we'll order next time we come, which will be soon!
Pros: Fantastic and diverse food, Great atmosphere, Open late!
Cons: Only 1 dessert option with mixed plate

Great meal in Paris - Edit
We were looking for a good whole foods plant based meal in Paris on a Monday night. Unfortunately, many of the Happy Cow vegan listings were closed on Monday evenings. We found Brasserie Lola to be open and made the easy metro trek, and we are glad we did. Had a very yummy meal of spaghetti Bolognese and Pad Thai, and both were excellent. The service was also excellent and we heartilly recommend this restaurant!

A real vegan Brasserie - Edit
From the outside it looks like a regal French brasserie. Its located at a crossing with the typical outdoor seating. There are almost no hints that it is a vegan restaurant - to our surprise, but we asked. The staff is friendly and speaks English. The restaurant has all the features of a good Parisian brasserie.
Read moreThe food tastes great, it is mostly French/European with some Asian influences. The portions are not very large and a little pricey, but it's Paris and the usual level. If you are really hungry take a starter and a desert.
Pros: nice place, tasty food
Cons: small portions

Première brasserie vegan parisienne - Edit
J'ai découvert ce restaurant il y'a 1 mois. J'y suis allé 3 fois depuis et ne compte pas m’arrêter.
Read moreC'est une vrai brasserie parisienne, accueillant, ça sent bon, la musique est sympa ...
La nourriture est typique des brasseries, hot dog, cheeseburger, spaghetti bolo.
C'est très bon et c'est un lieu de choix pour inviter des gens non végétarien car aucune pub pour le végétarisme n'y ai fait. J'y était hier justement avec 7 personnes non végétarienne, ils ont tous aimés.
Ce restaurant est dans mon top 3 parisien.
Pros: Goûteux, Vrai brasserie 100% vegan, Très bien placé
Cons: Un peu cher

Vegan French brasserie! - Edit
This kind of place was really lacking in Paris! Now we have it! This place is a typical French brasserie, at the exception that everything is vegan! And homemade (which is not always the case in brasseries). The place is really pleasant, you have room, the staff is friendly and you can come in to drink or eat, or both. They have hot drinks, beers, wines, cocktails, vegan appetizers and offer a 100% vegan and homemade menu with tartines, burgers, risotto, pad thai, club sandwich, spaghettis bolognese, vegetable fritters, soups, salads, etc. They also have 6 or 7 vegan desserts, including homemade vegan ice creams.
Read moreThe waiting is sometimes a bit long and every dish is not always still available, but it attests the fresh and daily preparation of the food. The food is really good, fresh and well presented. I tried the vegetable fritters as a starter (yummy!), the risotto as a main dish (creamy!) and the café gourmand as a dessert (great!). However, I found that portions were a little bit small so that if you are very hungry, you will need to take more than one main dish. Prices are a bit high, but consistent with Paris lifestyle.
Great to see and visit a typical place like that in the vegan mood.
Pros: 100% vegan brasserie, homemade food, cocktails, nice place, friendly staff
Cons: small portions, a little pricey
