Petit paradis parisien végane - Edit
Je suis venue de nombreuses fois au Faitout, et c'est toujours avec le plus grand des bonheurs que j'y retourne! Le patron et l'équipe sont incroyables, à l'écoute, détendus et pour autant super pro. On y mange si bien... Les tapas à la française, tout fait maison dans une ambiance chaleureuse et délicieuse, on y reste pour bavarder, picorer et s'abreuver. Mention spéciale pour les rillettes, quel plaisir en bouche ! Aussi bien l'assiette de tapas chaude que froide est un délice. Une très belle adresse qui est devenue mon QG après des journées fatigantes où l'on a besoin de se poser, de se reposer, dans un cadre convivial et bien arrosé. Un lieu unique!
Pauline, ambassadrice pour Happy Cow
Pros: tout fait maison, des saveurs délicieuses, une équipe au top, cadre parisien très agréable, horaires d'ouvertures très larges

Recommandé !! - Edit
Carte 100% végane, ambiance chaleureuse et la nourriture est délicieuse ! Je recommande fortement ! Très belle découverte pour nous (2 véganes et 1 non-végane). Le jeudi soir il y a un groupe de jazz, très sympa même si le volume est très fort.
Pros: 100% vegan, Delicious

Great casual bar/bistro - Edit
Great casual bar/bistro with a lovely selection of small dishes (to be ordered tapas-style) as well as some larger dishes. The "rillette" (pate-like, made with artichoke heart) was divine. Various other plates varied from average to v good (the "patatas bravas" was basically just chips; while an oven-baked tomato dish was fab). The people running the place were friendly and unstuffy. If you want something "formal" then try somewhere else ;)

Endroit très sympa - Edit
Bar/resto très agreable et personnel très sympathique. Le large choix de tapas pour un prix très abordable est appréciable. Les plats sont savoureux et les portions généreuses. Super pour un moment convivial en famille ou entre amis.

Excellent Vegan Food - Edit
I have been to Le Faitout many times already.
The food is always excellent, and the ambience is also very relaxed.
Besides the regular tapas menu, the daily plates are generally different from other vegan eatieries in the city.
For instance, at the moment they have a Choucroute (traditional plate from Alsace) and a Parmentier.
One of my favorite spots for dining in Paris.
I cannot recommend it more!
PS: Not sure if they still have the brunch on the weekends.
---------------------------------
Visited in December 2016 for brunch on the weekend.
The brunch includes 1 hot drink and 1 fresh juice, 1 cheese platter, 1 main plate and 1 dessert plate. Everything was very good and the food had kind of a home cooked feeling. I especially enjoyed the creative home-made cheeses with very interesting flavors.
All for €22, which was a fantastic deal.
The service was nice, and the atmosphere very pleasant.
Le Faitout is not evidently vegan, it might be a good place to bring your non-vegan friends.
In summary, it's certainly worth visiting.
Moreover, if weather allows it, you can enjoy a stroll at the nearby Buttes-Chaumont park.

Favorite Paris & late night spot - Edit
Living close by, I crave coming in for late dinner after a busy day. The menu is changing often, I love their tapas (seaweed, patatas, incredible pâté imitations..., and their mains are most often to die for! I love the way they handle the vegetables, slow cooked or roasted. The atmosphere is casual, very friendly and often funny. Feeling lucky being almost their neighbor.
Pros: vegan only, warm atmosphere, friendly owner and st

C'est à tomber! - Edit
Accueil sympa, une carte conviviale, la cuisine savoureuse... J'ai hâte d'y retourner!
This was a favorite of ours on a recent trip to Paris. On our first visit I think we were greeted by an owner (a kind mustachioed gentleman) who offered to explain the menu and that it's vegan - no need, I came for the charcuterie and fromage plate!
I loved that the food is made in-house and the place had a great vibe. As a couple, for us this was a cozy and kind of romantic spot for a late dinner, but we also saw groups of friends gathering for drinks and dessert.
In addition to the charcuterie and fromage plate, we also had the "steak" and several desserts. Everything was amazing! My husband is omni and he really loved everything we tried, especially the tarte au citron.
One thing, on both visits (just a few days apart) the credit card machine was broken. The wait staff was super apologetic and the barman was very sweet and entertained me while my husband ran to get cash. Not a big deal, I'm just not in the habit of carrying much cash.
Overall, everything was amazing. The food, the wine, and the service... what a perfect place to close out the night.
Pros: Friendly atmosphere, Awesome food, drinks, and desserts, All vegan!

Après être allée 3 fois au Faitout je laisse un commantaire - Edit
Le Faitout est un endroit où passer et où on passe une bonne soirée.
L'endroit est à la fois calme et vivant. L'accueil est chaleureux et "sur mesure".
La carte est vegan. On peut commander tant des plats individuels que des tapas à partager.
C'est convivial, sans prise de tête tout en étant professionnel. Les prix sont corrects.
Bon appétit :)

Pros: Fantastic food, Good price, Relaxed atmosphere
Cons: No cons!

My strong favorite in Paris - Edit
This place is definitely my favorite in Paris. It has the spirit of a casual (and cool) French brasserie, makes its own cheese and faux-meat tapas such as chorizo, rillettes, pâté... Their meals are all excellent as well as their desserts. You can bring omnivores here and I'm sure they will appreciate. You must absolutely visit it and try their cheese and tapas.
On the whole, prices are fair, portions are generous and the staff is super friendly. The atmosphere of the place is also nice!
Pros: homemade, vegan cheese and French classics, excellent food, very friendly staff, casual brasserie spirit

A real Vegan restaurant in Paris - Edit
We were looking for a real Vegan restaurant in Paris. There are couple of fast food, some Indian/Lebanese restaurants that offer Vegan food but very few restaurant with a full Vegan menu like the one at Le Faitout.
We crossed Paris to go to this restaurant and it was wealthy. We started with a selection of vegetal cheeses. There were 6 or 7 different cheeses and each of them was interesting and good. We continued with dumplings
and a dhal both of this main course were great.
We were full so we didn't have the opportunity to test the dessert, but we will be back to test them for sure.
Apparently there is a jazz soiree every Thursday. So you can enjoy music with good food and beer.
Pros: Food was excellent, Staff was super friendly, Menu is varied, which is rare for Vegan dishes
Cons: A bit offset

It was so good I came back again 3 days later! - Edit
Wow, what a nice place to eat! Don't let the bar deco fool you: this is a great place to eat delicious food prepared with love!
Among the things I tried on my two visits with friends: saitan steak and chips (lovely smokey flavour and not too heavy, and not at all rubbery like some saitan steaks), lasagne (really rich in flavour), tapas mix (came with lots of delicious fresh bread, homemade kefir, delicious craft beer, gluten-free beer.
I highly recommend it if you're in Paris :)

Un vrai bar vegan à Paris - Edit
Nous avons goûté plusieurs tapas (rillettes, tarama, patatas bravas et les boulettes). Ils étaient tous excellents!
Lieu unique à Paris, concept très original. Idéal pour déguster une assiette de fromages 100% vegan. Les fromages faits maison sont délicieux: fromage à l'hibiscus, au poivron, aux herbes etc.
Les boissons ne sont pas en reste: bières, vin, cocktails etc. Un lieu chaleureux et une bonne ambiance.
Pros: Tapas, Ambiance, Cadre

Another vegan place in Paris - Edit
I liked the atmosphere of the place, went there with 6 friends.
Tried the noggets and the patatas bravas, also some other dishes from my friends. Everything is enjoyable but pricey .
I guess it's the kind of restaurant where you bring non vegan people...
Good to go before/after: Buttes Chaumont Park
Pros: vegan win, atmosphere, location
Cons: pricey

bon, beau lieu, personnel avenant - Edit
Le repas était bon voire très bon pour l'assortiment de tapas et les desserts. Le plat (mac and chères) était moins convaincant.
C'est un resto omnivore qui a choisi de devenir vegane. À soutenir !
Pratique pour manger pas cher avec une sélection de tapas ou copieusement avec l'assiette d'assortiment de tapas qui est généreuse !

Absolute Heaven - Edit
Paris is fast becoming a vegan paradise and this spot could be the creme de la creme. The soup was to die for. Bread so fresh felt like it was straight from the baker's oven. I had the veggie steak and it was absolutely dynamite. Bursting with flavor. The greens and juice could not be any more fresh. Top notch service and friendly atmosphere as well.
Pros: Taste, Uniqueness, French cuisine veganized
Cons: wait could be a lil long for some, lil pricey
