CLOSED: La Reine de Saba

Lovely friendly service (English speaking) and great healthy food for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Reasonably priced. Would visit again - thank you! Near to Voltaire station

It gets quite crowded so try to come early or late for mealtime. The women working here are nice but get overwhelmed and the place is generally unrushed, so be prepared for a long, relaxed meal -- it may be 10-15 minutes before you even get menus. The veggie combo platter plus an extra order of lentils were a very full meal for two people, and the food was all fresh, hot and good. The negative was just waiting for service; we never got any drinks because they didn't bring them.

All that said, I would still go back for the food.

This is a nice place to go--the man who runs the restaurant is very friendly, and is happy to accomodate special requests (if you'd like your food spicier than most French people would, he's more than happy to give you extra ground red pepper). Just ask for the vegetarian platter, and (if you're a vegan) mention that you cannot eat milk. If your French is bad, they also speak excellent English.
