Home made style - Edit
This is really a small vegan clothes and bags shop with a kitchen and a few tables, just a few steps away from the charming canal St. Martin. Perfect for a lovers evening. Charm, genuine vegan vibes and delicious, home made style Italian food.

A lovely vegan place within a clothes boutique - Edit
We loved this little vegan restaurant which is part of a clothes boutique. Carmen gave us a very warm reception, and very quickly served us a delicious vegan meal followed by a dessert "to go". We wish we had more time to savour everything, but we were in a hurry to catch Eurostar to London...

Delicious food in a concept store - Edit
I've visited Carmen Ragosta several times in the last couple of years. There are just three tables, so it's preferred if you call ahead to reserve one.
The menu is just one plate consisting of small bites; but it is always fresh and yummy.
Desserts are also delicious. Besides the tiramisu, which is excellent, the tarts and cakes made are also worth the visit.
Carmen herself is in charge of the cooking and service; and she's always very friendly and attentive.
I'd recommend paying a visit whenever in Paris.
Pros: yummy, friendly staff, good value
Cons: none

Lovely brunch with great desserts - Edit
We were very happy to get the chance to enjoy a brunch-plate at this clothes' store /restaurant.
The owner was very nice and the food was great - nice tofu, salads, home-made cheese and other small portions of different delicious dishes combined on one big plate. After this lovely plate of deliciousness we had two great desserts - the tiramisu and the chocolate dessert - also a great combination!
I very much recommend this place if you visit Paris!
Pros: tasty, calm

A warm and wonderful brunch - Edit
Our visit to Paris did not coincide with one of Carmen's famous evening dinners (not always on offer, so look into it before you go) so, instead, we went there for brunch.
Carmen is a delightful and warm host. She prepares all the food with great care, skill and inventiveness. The flavours are superb as is the quality.
The brunch we had was a mix of raw and cooked and all home and expertly made. We were lucky enough to have both her superb desserts, the inimitable tiramisù and an equally delicious raw chocolate mousse (with no refined sugars).
We loved the setting, which is in her clothing shop. The clothing is great too, with each a one-off piece made one size generous yet tailored enough to suit a wide variety of body types. The neighbourhood is really fun too.
Pros: Delicious food, Wonderful host, Great ambiance
Cons: None really!

A great experience - Edit
The owner was very friendly and considerate and made me feel welcome. At first I was a little put off by the price but the plate I got was a piece of art, the food is organic and made fresh and there was a good amount of it. All the dishes were creative, delicious and beautifully presented. It's clear to see that Carmen takes a lot of pride in what she does and genuinely wants people to enjoy it. The tiramisu was TO DIE FOR. I also liked that there wasn't any faux meat.
Pros: Delicious, fresh, creative food, Great service, Clean restaurant

GREAT!!! - Edit
My boyfriend and I (from England) had a lovely brunch here last Sunday. All the food was delicious, the brunch plate had lots of different flavours and both our deserts were amazing. As all the reviews say the tiramisu is awesome but the chocolate pudding was really super tasty too!
Such a wonderful place, vegan food and a boutique all in one!
We recommend going here :)
Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff

Not only tiramisu :) - Edit
I loved this place!
It totally made my day and compensated for the heavy rain and cold outside. Tiramisu was out of this world! I've always found the alcohol in the traditional version rather annoying, so Carmen's "virgin" tiramisu won my heart, stomach and taste buds immediately :) My boyfriend had a raw chocolate cake which was also brilliant - rich in flavour and not that sweet. While we were having deserts I picked nice shoes xD, a purse and even tried a hand-made skirt from Carmen's own clothing collection. Then we also had a great plate of food. All in all - that was a great evening spent with Carmen and her adorable dog :) Hope it won't be too long till we are back again! Thank you Carmen!
