GO HERE - Edit
This restaurant is exactly what you pray it is - amazing French vegan food. Honestly, it was so hard to pick what to get. The waiter suggested Escargot and Coq Au Vin. Of course, he said he could only one favorite. It has been so long since I had proper French food. I could have cried. Come here!! 🥹❤️

The Future of Food - Edit
Elegant, yet cozy and surprisingly affordable (given the luxuriousness of the food) gem. Delice & Sarrasin is delicious and bound to impress vegans and non-vegans alike. The atmosphere is inviting and the smells and sights of the food at enchanting, worth every penny.

Fantastic meal - Edit
What an adorable spot in a cozy European style restaurant. We ordered the cheese plate appetizer which came highly recommended from a friend and met expectations. My partner (who is not vegan) was blown away by the gourmet cashew cheese. She also ordered the seafood dish which she enjoyed and I had the beef Bourguignon which I thought was delicious. It was heartier than I expected and they did a great job with the vegan beef. It was with some delicious veggies in a rich red wine sauce that I felt was a little on the salty side—it would have been nice to cut it with a salad or sharing another dish. Still I would recommend it.
Read moreThe menu was…unusual. It described a lot of the dishes based on what plant based protein was involved. Even as a vegan I found it unappetizing to decide which “pea protein beef” or “x protein chicken” I wanted to eat. That being said, so many of the appetizers looked magnificent that it was hard to choose just one, and both of our entrees turned out really well.

My most favorite! - Edit
Delice & Sarrasin is a MUST when visiting NYC. I lived in the city years ago, wayyy before going vegan, and eating French food was my favorite. I was so ecstatic when I discovered this place and I really can’t get enough. I’ve experienced both the brunch and dinner menus, and it is magnificent every time…not to mention the space is adorable, and who doesn’t love the village.

Excellent food, rude waiter - Edit
I've been vegan for so long, I never knew French food was so good!! I'm allergic to soy and gluten and was particularly impressed that so many dishes were made without it. Many or most of the faux meats are made with pea protein, not soy or gluten. I got the brie, escargots and coq au vin. All were very good, and the flavor of the brie stood out most of all.
Read moreThe only drawback was the rude waiter who treated my arrival into the empty restaurant Sunday morning as an imposition as they opened. I ordered GF items, so I didn't see a need to specify that I was GF. He brought bread to the table and I asked if it was GF. He said no, that I hadn't told him I was GF, and that now he'd "have to throw it away."
Pros: excellent food, pleasant atmosphere
Cons: Rude service

Best Vegan Food Period - Edit
The food was incredible. I’ve eaten vegan all over the world, including some Michelin starred restaurants interpretation of vegan food. And this was hands down the best vegan I’ve ever had. The cheeses are outstanding (the cheese plate is a must), and the proteins are top quality. We had the Coq au Vin and the Beef, Brussel sprouts, cheese plate and the crème brûlée. Highly recommend.
Read morePros: Creative, Flavorful, Friendly staff
Cons: Small space (but adds to the atmosphere)

Good, not great - Edit
I had been really looking forward to trying this place and maybe it was what we ordered but it wasn’t my favorite. We had 2 of the crepes. Enjoyed my chikn but my husband got the salmon and We’ve had better. The onion soup was good. The fries were drenched in a truffle oil. I love truffle but this tasted artificial. My oat milk latte was grainy and bitter. When I asked for sugar he brought Splenda. Made it undrinkable

A unique experience. Delicious vegan food structured around the idea of a French bistro. The vegan cheeses are out of this world. Right now kind of undiscovered.

Unique options - Edit
Nice outdoor seating, a bit pricey but unique menu. Unfortunately I don’t think I ordered the best option - the steak frites - it really just tasted like a basic hamburger patty. If you’re seeking something ‘authentic’ or unique then definitely do not order that.
Read moreThe escargot appetizer was delicious.
Didn’t try the crepes but will do so next visit!
Pros: All vegan, Unique options
Cons: Pricey, “Steak” was boring

Seriously! Vegan French Food! - Edit
We began with the mozzarella and tomato, escargot, Brie with potatoes. I have no words. I can just say amazing! Then we had breauf bourganon, Leonard De Vinci and couq co vin for dinner and sweet crepes and creme brûlée for desert. Everything was so delicious. And…Mathis was awesome with service, friendliness and knowledge!!!!

Great food and atmosphere! - Edit
Went here with some out-of-town non-veg friends who wanted to try a nice place. Both me and they were blown away at how good it was. Would 100% recommend the BŒUF BOURGUIGNON and POULET BASQUAISE, they were both amazing.

Seven stars! - Edit
Since hotels started doing this ‘7 stars’ thing I think it’s about time to start a 7 star vegan restaurant rating too. How in the world is this food possible? Over the years — in our other life — we ate at so many outstanding (non plant-based) bistros in Paris and the Provence and this chef does exactly what French food makes itself so special but in a plant-based version. I couldn’t believe all the dishes we had tonight: Foie gras, saumon, steak tartare, coq au vin, crepe suzette. With the whole setting in the Village you almost see the French street artists and hear the chansons. The most perfect night out in NYC for vegans like us. Christophe Caron rocks! (His brother was our server) 🤩

Cozy Dining Space. Beautifully Executed Food. - Edit
My time at Delice & Sarassin was a memorable one: I'm glad I came here to try my first Boeuf Bourguinon (Beef Stew), and I also ate a crêpe: two classic French dishes.
Read moreThe flavor of the Boeuf Bourguinon was tangy and savory, and the potatoes and carrots in the dish balanced the tart flavor of the tender "beef" (pea protein).
The crêpe came in large square shape with whipped cream, melted chocolate, powdered sugar and bananas: I appreciated how generous the portions were for this dish.
The dining space was elegant, with gray walls, a chandelier shaped like a flower bouquet, and books on French culinary arts that I appreciated were there, since I ate here solo and wanted time away from my phone. :-)

Crêpes! - Edit
This place is really cute and the service is good. My friend and I split some savory crepes for lunch, the crepes themselves were super tasty. I loved mine, a salmon crème fraîche and avocado delight, and my friend got spiced potato, tomato and onion with cheese. I was a little disappointed with the cheese, seemed like the crême fraîche was tofutti and the melty cheese was daiya or something. For a lovely French café I was hoping for more artisanal cheeses. Still a great lunch though!

Hit or miss - Edit
Ordered two crepes from here- the strawberry/chocolate one was good but there was no whipped cream (listed in the description) but the savory one with sausage/cheese was not good. The crepe itself was very dry and the filling was not great- the flavor wasn’t good and the cheese was extremely gloopy. We didn’t even finish it and threw it away😒I wouldn’t come back because for how expensive it is, I would’ve expected more.

Perfect for special occasion - Edit
Celebrated my first dinner inside a restaurant in over a year with a special friends' birthday dinner. We ordered two apps and two entrees. Service was impeccable, food was amazing, and portion size was very generous, especially given the typically tiny plates most French restaurants bring out. Total came to just over $90 after tip. If you order wine and/or desert, total will be north of $100, so my suggestion is to save this place for a special occasion.

Disappointed - Edit
I had high hopes given what I’ve read but unfortunately the dish I got was too salty and was hard to finish. Another thing to note is you must make a reservation. I didn’t realize this so ended up ordering to go.

Delicious! My favorite! Worth every penny - Edit
This is my absolute favorite vegan restaurant in New York, and at this point, perhaps anywhere. I dream of the coq au vin. Some reviews complain of the price, but the quality makes it so worth it. Perhaps it's not a restaurant you visit every week, but more on special occasions. And anyway it will BE a special occasion when you eat there, no matter what.
