[Closing on May 13th!!! Book a table asap!!] - Edit
The new seasonal menu is fantastic. Specially the Arlette millefeuille is amazing.
Read moreThey are back to my list of favorite restaurants in Paris. :)
-----------------------
We visited brEAThe again before they change their menu. Last time we really liked their burger and gnocchis; so this time we decided to try the other two main dishes: the oyster mushroom risotto and the focaccia.
To be honest, we were disappointed. The risotto was just ok taste-wise; and we found the focaccia to be tasty but very overpriced (17€) for what it was: focaccia bread with pesto and a few slices of vegetables on top. If I had another suggestion to make, it would be to make it a bit smaller and move it to the appetizer menu.
We also had the poached pear, which was yummy!
As before, the service was attentive and the atmosphere was pleasant.
I know there will be changing their menu soon; so I'll keep an eye on it. In the meantime, I'd highly recommend to have only the gnocchis and the burger (and any of the desserts).

Previous review from my first visit
-----------------------------------------------------
We visited brEAThe for lunch.
We tried as many dishes as we could: eryngii croustillants, burger, gnocchi, millefeuille and crème brulée. :)
Everything was delicious! Special mention for the gnocchi and the millefeuille.
We also had the café viennois which comes with a very nice homemade whipped cream.
The service was quick, and the staff was polite and friendly. On top of all of that, the interior is probably the nicest one among all vegan places in Paris.
Just FYI, the word "vegan" is not written anywhere in he menu, but rest assure everything is vegan!
If I could recommend them something, it would be to try using organic ingredients for the food. But that's just me being picky. :)
In any case, it's so great there's another quality vegan restaurant in town. It won't probably be long before we visit again.

C’était super, both the food and service - Edit
I’d booked elsewhere that ended up being closed so I arrived without a reservation. The server opened the door for me (because I have to embarrass myself everyday not being able to open doors somewhere) and welcomed me to a table. It recommended you choose 3 or 4 dishes each and share. I chose 3 dishes, the Vietnamese soup, the bao and the mushrooms on a skewer. They weren’t huge servings which worked well for me. All of them were excellent. The mushrooms had a lot of flavour and the soup broth was really nice. The bao was perfect. I decided to order tea and a dessert, a brownie mochi. The brownie was delicious, perfect flavour and I liked the chewy texture.
Read moreThe service was incredible. I didn’t feel awkward being on my own and I never felt abandoned even through the restaurant was busy and the server was managing the tables on their own.
It’s a nice place visually too. One of my favourite dinners in Paris

Incredibile! - Edit
È stata un’esperienza ottima. Ho mangiato i ravioli, il seitan (più buono!), la crema delle barbabietole, e anche i funghi. Tutto era buonissimo. E dopo la cena mi hanno regalato un shot di vodka e frutta della passione. Ho bevuto il cocktail di lampone, che era buonissimo. Génial!

Really lovely place, friendly staff, nice wine. Food came really quickly and was all very fresh and we'll prepared. Would like to see some more items added to the menu but that's a minor issue. The Sichuan seitan was particularly good!

Delicious Japanese food - Edit
I had a ramen soup with 3 or 4 different mushrooms in it + tempeh and vegan omelet. Very tasty.
Read moreMy friend had the umeboshi makis (best than any maki I tried before) and the noodle soup with roasted pumpkin (delicious).
We also tried the litchi mochi and the mochi cake. The litchi mochi was perfect.
And the litchi and coco lemonade, very good.
Beautiful place with very nice staff.
I strongly recommend.
Pros: 100% vegan, Delicious Japanese food. , Friendly staff.

Interesting restaurant. - Edit
I attended here with my boyfriend for Valentines. The cocktails were amazing but the food was not to our taste. The dishes were very experimental and had strange textures. The staff were extremely friendly hence the three stars, but it is not somewhere I would personally recommend.

Une mauvaise expérience - Edit
(Impossible de mettre une étoile en raison de la politique du site)
Read moreArrivé dans ce restaurant avec des grandes attentes à la suite de mon diner excellent chez leur homologue de Breathe Montorgueil, une vraie déception chez Breathe Pigalle …
Visuellement, le restaurant est très original, de belles teintes de couleurs qui se marient à merveille, l’ambiance y est cosy et chaleureuse même si le lieu est un peu bruyant.
Le dressage des plats est correct mais rudimentaire au vu du standing affiché du lieu.
Gustativement, quelle déception … Le restaurant fonctionne sur un système de tapas présents en quantité insuffisante pour être correctement rassasié. Nous avions faim en sortant.
Nous avons pris cinq tapas : Panko de seitan maison (6,5 €), Boulettes tsukune (6,5 €), Gua bao (8 €), Nems (8 €) et Edamame (5,5 €).
Aucune de ces préparations ne présente un réel intérêt gustatif. Le seitan s’apparente en réalité à de simples nuggets (3…) avec trop de friture. Les boulettes sont correctes (bien que d’un goût qui n’approche pas les saveurs asiatiques dont se réclame l’établissement) et la sauce n’a ni goût de champignon, ni de gingembre comme cela est énoncé.
Le gua bao est une véritable fraude culinaire, fade, froid, et la gratitude consiste en quelques légumes crus râpés. Les nems nous ont écœurés, une épaisseur de friture plus importante que la garniture. Le pesto d’estragon est, bien que prévu, absent. De plus, le citron confit est quant à lui difficilement distinguable sous la friture. Les haricots edamame sont une simple poignée d’haricots saupoudrés de gros sel sans aucune préparation particulière.
Niveau boisson, ma compagne a pris une Madame violette (13 €), le cocktail signature de la maison. Le goût était original et bien présent (violette) même si peu équilibré vis-à-vis de celui du champagne. Pour ma part, j’ai pris un Hotina (13 €). Ce cocktail, affiché comme contenant notamment du rhum, du sirop de basilic ou encore de la pâte de curry, vert fut le premier faux pas de ce diner. A moitié composé de mousse, ce dernier ne semblait contenir que du jus d’ananas, aucune autre saveur ne pouvant être raisonnablement discerné.
Le rapport qualité-prix est donc clairement défavorable. Le prix de certains tapas est franchement problématique (mention spéciale au gua bao unique à 8 € !! ) et la quantité est insuffisante pour 2 adultes. La qualité des préparations et des boissons est également à revoir.
En bref, je déconseille Breathe Pigalle.

A little disappointing - Edit
We were looking forward for our dinner here just because of the overall ratings for this place. Sadly, the size of the portions are really small. In my opinion, too small. I wasn’t satisfied after 3 tapas. And, just from my experience with Asian fusion kitchen, I think I definitely had better experiences. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that it doesn’t taste good, I just know from experience, that it can be much better. Staff is very friendly and the interior is appealing.

Vegan delight! - Edit
Warm, friendly service, and fabulous food and drinks. My (non-vegan) partner and I enjoyed our evening here immensely! We'd definitely come again, and would recommend to all to try whether vegan or not. The panko seitan and tsukune balls were a highlight! Delicious! It is on the expensive side but we thought it was worth every penny for a very enjoyable dinner.

I can hardly say it is reasonably priced - Edit
The food was not bad but not so sure it was worth 30 euros for a brunch menu. (Meal & dessert served at the same time). Personally I prefered the other Breathe restaurant in Montorgueil. I liked the Gaspacho soup though.

A good moment - Edit
I enjoyed the experience of tasting a variety of small Asian dishes, plus a dessert (fried mochi). Everything was good, but I must say the high prices don't match the originality of the menu, I just expected to be more surprised. One time was enough to discover everything the restaurant has to offer.

Décevant - Edit
Super décor contemporain qui fait plaisir, staff très sympa, mais notre repas etait plus que moyen, les plats n’avaient pas de goût, un peu de sel de poivre d’huile d’olive de jus de citron auraient sauvé la mise mais la c’était plat, très plat. même au goût de ma copine complètement vegan. Petit détail. Salade et menthe autour de nos nems n’étaient pas frais, c’est abuser. on ne nous y reprendra pas, quel dommage ;-/

From fine dining to deep fried generic food - Edit
I already miss the old team and concept in their Pigalle location. Now, the menu has changed, but the prices remained! Unfortunately, the new concept is very generic, created to be served fast. And there is nothing left of the sophistication and originality of the old menu. There's a 70 per cent chance I won't go there again - I can eat salted edamame and deep fries ravioli in cheaper place
Read morePros: Very kind and helpful waiter, Vegan alcohol
Cons: Expensive , Deep fried generic food, Quite stuffy in the restaurant

Delicious vegan dim sum, cocktails and desserts! - Edit
We ordered almost the entire menu and did not regret it! Everything was amazing. We got the dessert in a glass and the fried mock for dessert which were amazing but very filling after a big meal so would suggest you share!

Sophisticated asiatic vegan restaurant near Pigalle - Edit
So many changes for the Breathe brand.
Read moreOpened in September 2018 in Pigalle, this bistronomic restaurant has decided to open in Montorgueil to revolutionize Asian cuisine at the end of October 2021.
And now, the concept and decoration of Breathe Pigalle has been revised to offer these two concepts:
- Pigalle: Otsumami & Cocktail bar
- Montorgueil: Izakaya & Maki bar
In Pigalle, the decorator from Montorgueil has put all her talent into redecorating Pigalle with beautiful colors in shades of red, brown, black and white, the identity of Breathe.
I was able to taste very good cocktails, very original and hearty dishes in a perfect atmosphere.
The association with the company @lepapondu makes it possible to have Cantonese rice!
In short, an essential place in Paris from a brand that has made good progress in offering a type of cuisine that was lacking in Paris.

5 star food, lively atmosphere, friendly service - Edit
I went to Breathe on a Friday night (reservation was made on their website and quickly confirmed).
Read moreStaff were friendly and attentive and service was quick.
We ordered a cocktail each and 6 dishes to share between 2 people. Each dish was delicious with Alain component and delicious sauce garnishes (I particularly loved the apricot miso that comes with the fried tofu, my partner loved the peanut sauce which comes with the nems). Highly recommend the raviolis! Left feeling full despite the dishes appearing small. This place is on the pricier side but the tastes and quality justify it.
Only let down was all the flies on the wall!
