Delicious little bistro

The food was well spiced and varied. I got a plate of mixed veggies along with a tarte provençale and everything was delicious. Certainly would come back!

Pros: Flavor, Friendly staff, Variety

Nourriture familiale mais bien réalisée

Les plats du jour sont composés d'un assortiments de légumes et céréales cuisinées sur place. Très sympa pour une cuisine chaleureuse même si les plats restent assez simples.
Le restaurant est hors des chemins très fréquentés ce qui en fait un lieu calme

Nombreuses options veganes possibles

Pros: Ingrédients de qualité

Cons: Recettes un peu trop classiques

très bon, prix raisonnable

Un choix de 4 ou 5 plats chauds servis avec des legumes et de la salade. Simple et bon, tout ce qu'on aime.

Pros: prix raisonnable

sympa mais pas très recherché

Une bonne adresse, pas trop chère, avec un bon choix de desserts véganes. Les plats ne sont pas très variés, c'est plus un assemblage de legumes, crudités et céréales dans différentes parties de l'assiette, mais c'est frais.

Delicious and healthy food, friendly welcome

My wife and I looked up this place based on the Happy Cow info, and it was well worth it. The food was tasty and home cooked with love. The desserts are also a must as part of the experience, which was really welcoming. It certainly stands out from the traditional French restaurants.

home cooked yum!

We both really enjoyed this place. Very quiet, very healthy and very fresh. It was just down the road from our hotel. It was pretty cheap too! We felt really good after the meal, and very full! big portions. Although it was nothing new, it was good home cooking!

Pros: Big portions/good value, friendly service, Super healthy!

Cons: Nothing new

Homey comfort food

It's my last day in Paris and I was happy there is a veggie place just around the corner where I am staying. I actually thought if it comes to vegetarian/ vegan places, they'd be far off (e.g. Place de la Bastille has many around but it's a 38minute ride on the métro), so I was glad to discover Joy in Food on Montmartre.

I got the plat du jour, which was vegan, and very yummy. It consisted of different grains, rice, a small raw carrot salad, a potato-patty, a little ratatouille and a few other cooked vegetables.

It wasn't special, yet very filling and overall comforting. I liked that it was organic and seasonal, so I can't complain.

In fact, I wish we had such places in Berlin. Where you can get comfy homecooked food, we either have fancy (vegan) restaurants or fast food places, but if you want something easy, it's not there.

So, I'm glad these places exist in Paris as, narrowing it down, their dishes would be what I would make myself (or similar). It's good to know that you can continue your cruel-free and healthy diet even when you're staying in Paris, so all is good.

Although the dish was a little bland and I missed more possibilities of seasoning than gomasio, salt and pepper, it was all in all a good lunch.

Pros: healthy , organic, comforting homemade-style

Cons: few vegan options, a little bland

First vegan day in Paris

We are staying in a hotel near Montmartre and were browsing for a vegan restaurant nearby. Great luck that we discovered "Joy in Food", very comfortable atmosphere, food is excellent (vegetar. & vegan) and healthy. After starter and main course we were filled up and could not make it for dessert. People there are very friendly. Menu (starter + main course) was 13 EUR, very reasonable, drinks are roughly 3 EUR each (wine, cidre, ...)

Pros: healthy food, good taste, good pricing

Cosy spot for healthy food

Joy in Food is located on a quiet street of the 17th arrondissement, away from the tourist areas. The restaurant is warm and welcoming, full of plants and personal objects, with a slight Mediterranean touch in the colours and decor. As for the food, it is quite simple, but fresh and healthy, as well as tasty. Most dishes are a combination of grains and vegetables. A beautiful display of cakes welcomes you as soon as you enter but alas, none of them are vegan. At first I was told that the crumble was vegan, but after triple checking with the lady she admitted that there was a "tiny amount of butter in it", which was a bit irritating, but other than that my experience here has been very good. Juices, teas, coffee and soy milk are also available.

fantastic

We really liked this place and had a lovely lunch. It is just 1 lady who does all the cooking fresh. We had omlette & curry bubble & squeak served with lots of different fresh salad. Absolutely charming.

Pros: fresh tasty food, nice service

Charming neighborhood boite

We spent a week renting an apartment in the charming Batignolles neighborhood in the 17th Arrondissement, and were pleased to find Joy in Food nearby. It is popular, and we had lunch there twice; we were the only Anglos there. The proprietor works very hard, providing a small but good menu of salads, soups, and the specialty, vegetable tarts, also ragouts over rice. The homemade desserts are worth ordering, fruit tarts mainly. There is a small organic wine list.
The restaurant ambience is warm and welcoming, with lots of light from the windows and plants as decor. It is small, but this only adds to the atmosphere of sharing good food with a variety of other vegetarians.

Pros: well prepared food, charming atmosphere, friendly staff
