Small Street-side Cafe with Nice Offerings - Edit
A charming little veg/vegan restaurant with a good selection of plates. Nice to have this cafe near Notre Dame.

Tasty flavours - Edit
Great menu with lots of varied options including French classics like ratatouille which is what I went for. The plate did look a bit random with lots of varied sides but all the flavours worked really well.

Nice meal - Edit
We enjoyed a nice lunch, although the menu is less creative than on previous visits. Still a good choice for vegan and vegitarian western options

Incredible French food - Edit
So good, we had a dauphinois and some creamy mushroom dish. Super flavourful and amazing that we could try a bit of traditional French food in Paris. Great location and quite nice to sit outside. Recommended!!

Quick lunch - Edit
I had some raspberry sorbet and the faux grois. It was nice, but not very flavourful. I think maybe I’m just used to lots of herbs and spices in cooking which they don’t use in France. A good few vegan options but I wish they had more vegan desserts

Cute place for French flavors - Edit
We always go to this place when in Paris. Really flavorful food and a great option to try some veganised French dishes. The cassoulet was our favourite but it seems the menu must have changed….

Amazing little gem next to Notre-Dame - Edit
I recommend that you make a reservation specially if you want to enjoy their terrace. Their food is really good and not that expensive taking into account the area. Highly recommended!

Great mix of foods / proteins - Edit
I did the 3-course meal for 30€, totally worth it. Flavors were varied, tasty, and there was a decent amount of protein. Great location too. Would recommend!

Good food and good vibes - Edit
This cosy restaurant is so cute and friendly and the staff were incredible. The menu is extensive with lots of different types of options, vegetarian and vegan. I had the vegan potato dauphinois and it was incredible! I also had the brownie for dessert, which was also amazing. So great to be able to have French cuisine as a vegan!

Flavoursome food, sweet staff + service - romantic! - Edit
We visited Le Grenier de Notre Dame on our first night in Paris. We booked an hour ahead but think it would have been fine to walk in too.
Read moreWe ordered the L’Escalope de Seitan and L’assiette berbère - they were both delicious and very flavoursome and it felt like a hearty, healthy and wholesome meal - just what we needed after a day of travelling.
We also treated ourselves to the chocolate cake and brownie for dessert.
Several dishes either vegan already or could be made vegan.
The service was excellent, very sweet and attentive staff and it was very calm, relaxed atmosphere. We visited in January but reckon it would be lovely to sit outside in the summer months!

A little on the bland side - Edit
Stumbled upon Grenier Notre-D and it's a hidden gem, though it could use a bit of flavor tweaking. The menu is extensive, offering a number of choices.
Read moreTried the lentil burger, but it was on the dry side and lacked that cohesive flavor burst. The gratin, while promising, fell a bit short on seasoning and ended up on the bland side.
Despite these hiccups, I'd give the restaurant another shot if I lived in Paris. It seems to have tons of options, perhaps a tad too many. A little less choice and a bit more refinement could elevate the dining experience.
Pros: Diverse menu, Creative menu items, Friendly staff
Cons: Food was on the dry and bland side

Decent - Edit
We had the vegan cheese plate, the fuax gras, the seasonal mushroom gratin special, and a plate with tofu, seitan, and rice.
Read moreThe cheese plate and tofu/seitan plate were pretty good, but overall nothing was particularly exceptional. The fuax gras just tasted like curry hummus and the mushroom gratin was very salty and fatty.
Pros: High quality vegan cheese, Tender seitan, Service
Cons: Salty, Lack of flavor variety

Local French vegetarian restaurant - Edit
We came here after our expected reservation cancelled. It is a tiny and cosy little restaurant with upstairs seating. It is popular with locals and a few tourists.
Read moreThe menu is vegetarian and vegan. Some vegetarian options can be veganised but beware cheese on some dishes.
We had a big food day the previous day so opted to share one starter and one main. We had chickpea ‘faux gras’ which was essentially hummus. The main was a seitan escalope that we had asked to have vegan. It came with salad , potatoes and a ratatouille. It was delicious. Portions were massive so we were glad that we shared.
We didn’t have dessert but they looked amazing! Highly recommend trying one of the fresh juices. Delicious!
Pros: Local restaurant , Staff!

Okay food - Edit
The food was okay but rather pricey - comes with the neighbourhood and location I guess. A huge range of things on the menu which is great if you can’t decide but I think we found it meant each dish was mediocre.
Read moreI got the dauphinois and it was okay - lacking in seasoning. My partner got the curry and it looked very disappointing.

Great location - Edit
Have visited twice in the past 10 months and been happy with the food and service both times. Vegetarian restaurant, although plenty of vegan options which are clearly marked, with descriptions in English as well as French. Lovely location in a little street just opposite the Notre Dame. Nice to have some healthy vegan food rather than just junk food. I thought the flavours were a little basic compared to other restaurants I have visited, although it was good for the price, especially considering the location.
