Délicieux, fin et authentique

Dans une petite rue vivante et cosy à la fois, Carmen nous reçoit avec générosité et simplicité sur son petit coin de trottoir ensoleillé. Une jolie assiette mixte faite sur mesure, entièrement maison et bio. Deux boulettes et un roulé à base de légumes aussi savoureux que raffiné accompagnée de courgettes marinées, graines germées de lentille et une salade radis/carotte bien rafraîchissante. Une cuisine simple mais très travaillée qui surprendra par sa subtilité et par ce petit truc en plus qui rend ses plats si succulent.
Si vous passez par là, une belle adresse de quartier à découvrir absolument en take away et si possible à table (n’hésitez pas à appeler).


In a small street that is both lively and cozy, Carmen receives us with generosity and simplicity on her little sunny sidewalk corner. A pretty mixed plate entirely homemade and organic. Two vegeball and a vegetable roll as tasty as it is refined accompanied by marinated zucchini, sprouted lentil seeds and a very refreshing radish / carrot salad. A simple but very elaborate cuisine that will surprise with its subtlety and by this little extra trick that makes its dishes so delicious.
If you pass by, a nice neighborhood address to discover absolutely by take away and if possible at the table (do not hesitate to call).

Pros: Savoureux , Equilibré , Chaleureux

Delicious food in exceptional location

This is a great place to eat. There's a three course surprise menu (you can also order two courses). Our main course was risotto. Delicious! Starters and desserts as well. The restaurant is located in a clothes boutique and Carmen, the chef is extremely nice.

Nice surprise

We strolled through the neighboorhood and found this place. Carmen offers a menue (starter main or starter main desert) or salad. The menue is a surprise, means you are not able to choose which food. The food was very good and lovely presented. We shared a menue and agreed that each of us should have gotten its own.

Pros: Good food with chic presentation, fair price

Cons: The lack of male clothes, just kidding... ;-)

Unique and charming

The clothes boutique-restaurant 'Carmen Ragosta' is unique, charming and quirky.

Carmen is a wonderful host and a creative chef. Each day there is an entree + plat du jour + dessert, or a combination of the above for the less hungry, and Carmen serves each with flair and an explanation of what she has created that day. All of the ingredients are organic which we liked. The flavours and textures were subtle, complementary and intriguing, and it was a treat to have delicious vegan tiramisu!

A great place to take a partner or a friend for a cosy, intimate meal. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and we had a nice conversation with Carmen. With 6 small tables available, there was plenty of seating for everyone on the Saturday lunchtime that we were there.

Carmen is also celebrating 18 years there this year. Happy 18 ans!

Only womens clothing

I went here based on the description of it being a vegan clothing store and restaurant, but it does not specify that they only sell women's clothing. I asked if they had mens shoes and the owner replied never.

Cons: women's only boutique

Delightful!

It’s part restaurant, part clothing store, and part grandmother’s house. When you put together all the parts, it is simply wonderful. The food is delicious. We tried the sample platter, because everything sounded so good. Not one of the dishes was even a little disappointing. What makes it even more special is Carmen herself. She made us feel like family from the moment we arrived.

Pros: Charming, Delicious

Lovely food

The plate we ordered consisted of a variety of items, each so well flavored! I can appreciate organic whole foods transformed into such a creative ‘plat du jour’ :). The tiramisu was okay. But I feel I have really high standards for a good tiramisu. Overall, we left very satisfied, so I would absolutely recommend this!

Pros: Quick service

Fantastic place

Great little place run by a lovely Italian lady. Also a clothes shop, so you would hardly notice it’s also a restaurant from outside. Beautifully presented, healthy and wholesome vegan food at a decent price for Parisian standards

A cosy and exquisite homey place... Love it!

Never could imagine to find such a special restaurant like this in Paris. Everything is very sincere, naturally stylish, with a very smiling touch from the South of Italy. The owner is very kind and charming. A friendly and intimate place...

Pros: excellent food, very nice prices, unforgettable bread and tiramisu

Très bon restaurant vegan au menu unique.

Les prix sont relativement normaux pour paris et la qualité tant gustative que de présentation est bien présente. Carmen se fera un joie de vous guider à travers là deuxième partie de son restaurant : un magasin de vêtements vegân !
Adresse tenue par une passionnée et qui s'adresse à tout le monde.

Pros: Very bubly owner, Very good price/quality ratio, Can shop for clothes

Delicious food in a concept store

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.

dining in a dress shop.

The host was very friendly and the food was very different. She doesn't try to make fake meat, just yummy vegan food. Each day is a different plate with a variety of cooked and raw salads.

A unique experience!

I went to this place with colleague for lunch and walked into what looked like a shop with tables for dining in the middle! Carmen asked us how hungry we were, and then disappeared into the kitchen, bringing out a mixed plate for each of us, and explained what we were eating and how it had been prepared. The food was very well cooked and seasoned with unique and delicious flavour combinations.

I ate: Seaweed/tomato cake, quinoa risotto with roasted bell peppers, homemade turmeric "cheese" on delicious fresh bread, marinated tofu and tiramisu for dessert.

What a nice experience!

One of my favorite places in Paris

Incredible vegan food and beautiful boutique! My husband and I tried the main plate of food that had a variety of delicious options, as well as the tiramisu. I have always been a huge tiramisu fan, but after going vegan, I have had trouble finding a good non-dairy one... until tasting the one at Carmen's! We're going back to Paris in a couple of weeks and are already planning on stopping by to eat more tiramisu!

Home made style

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.
