French vegan food - Edit
Le Grenier de Notre Dame is tucked in one of the small alleys not far from the river Seine. The restaurant is tiny, but has an upstair seating area, and as suggested by other reviewers, it's better to reserve, if you are in a group larger than 2. I was by myself, so I got seated quite close to the bar. Weirdly, there were no phone reception and wifi.
Read moreIt has been raining almost all day in Paris and I fancied something warm, so, I ordered the cassoulet. The price was not on the cheap side, €18.5, but this is Paris and almost everything is inflated.
The food came after ~15 minutes of waiting. It looked alright, and came piping hot. There were adequate amount of seitan (although they also added few blocks of tofu which makes no sense), one olive, and 4 potato wedges. It was served with good brown bread.
I hoping for a rich tomato-y white bean stew, however, the first spoonful of cassoulet was a disaster. It was bland; I cannot taste the sweetness or acidity from the tomato, and the seitan chunks are neither giving any depth of flavour, nor bites. So, I ended up pouring some soy sauce, provided on the table, to the dish, and it made the cassoulet better.
I was going to treat myself for a dessert, but with such hefty price I opt for a cup of hot chocolate. Unfortunately, it's not vegan, but they can change cow juice to coconut milk. What could possibly go wrong with coconut milk and cocoa, mixed together? Everything! I would say that whoever made the hot chocolate should taste their creation first before serving it to the costumer.
This dining experience has made me regret not getting the supermarket salad/ Aldi's vegan microwaveable 3 bean chilli for dinner.
Next time I have another meeting in Paris, I would probably go to an omnivore restaurant and ask for a vegan option, than make a special trip to this place.

Classic French food - Edit
This is what I've been looking for in France. Classic French food made vegan (or vegetarian). It's the oldest veg restaurant in France. Clearly labeled menu for vegan and gluten free options and a kind proprietor. I got the Dauphin Gratin and it was amazing. Good portion sizes to not feel uncomfortably full. Comfort food at its best.

Best vegan cheese I’ve ever had, okay entree - Edit
My husband and I came here around 7:30p on a Tuesday and were able to be seating without a reservation. It’s VERY close quarters inside, so I wouldn’t recommend for a group larger than 2 unless you have a reservation!
Read moreWe ordered the cheese plate for one to start, which came with a vegan version of blue cheese, some herbed cheese, and brie. The cheese was AMAZING and hands down the best part of our experience. Plus, the plate for one is plenty for two people to split.
We each then got dinner entrees and while they were good, it wasn’t anything mind blowing. Overall it’s a solid place to get a veggie meal.
(FYI not everything is vegan! But the menu is labeled to reflect what is.)

Nice vegan restaurant - Edit
This restaurant is near Notre-Dame and near the Latin neighborhood, where you can find lots of night caffee or lounge bars. It is a nice but small restaurant, aesthetically pleasing, with a large vegan options menu. Every dish is vegan, with the exception of three vegetarian meal, and two of them can be made vegan at request. I would say that the range of price is average for Paris: entrees cost around 9€ and plates 15-20€. Since its a small place it's recommended to book a table in advance

Proper vegan cooking near notre dame - Edit
I’m not a huge fan of burgers etc so it was good to find this little place - apparently France’s longest established vegetarian restaurant - which had an interesting menu which did include burgers but also lots more. I had a Zen bowl - vegan salads with tofu, delicious but a huge plate which I couldn’t finish. Service was friendly but rather slow the day we were there but as we were sitting outside in the sun and weren’t in a hurry that wasn’t a problem.
Read morePros: Good salads, All veg and vegan
Cons: A bit slow the day we were there

Tasty & beautiful location! - Edit
It was a NIGHTMARE finding food that was both vegan and gluten free in Paris and Le Grenier de Notre Dame was a saviour! Tasty food and an absolutely beautiful location. The food did take a very long time to arrive, with my friend who I was with’s food arriving much earlier than mine and the selection of VE GF was very limited. Despite this, I’ll definitely visit again next time I’m in Paris!

Fuyez !!! Run !!! - Edit
Je suis allée dans ce restaurant en 2016, toute contente de tester un autre restaurant végétarien sur Paris mais quelle ne fut pas ma déception !
Read moreMon plat, l'assiette spéciale protéines, était insipide (aucun ingrédient ne s'associait à un autre et tout manquait cruellement de saveur) tandis que celui de mon copain l'a rendu malade (son "cassoulet" était d'une acidité)...
De plus l'accueil (à peine bonjour, à peine au revoir) et l'ambiance étaient déplorables (le "patron" parlait extrêmement mal à ses employés).
Il y a beaucoup d'autres restaurant végétariens à Paris, ne perdez pas votre temps avec le grenier de notre dame !

I feel bad for the vegans of Paris that this is considered good - Edit
Unfortunately this was the worst meal I've ever had. A strange combination of cuisines that didn't match and were badly cooked with no spices. Slimy and salty, like a plate of slugs. It's a shame, as it decor is nice. Incredibly overpriced for what was an inedible meal. €30 for a main and an entree. I feel bad for the vegans of Paris if they consider this good. Please don't trust the good reviews, this meal will haunt me until the day I die.

I went here for my friend's birthday couple years ago, and the food was very nice, very warm atmosphere and the waiter was super friendly. The food was a bit pricey, but almost everything in the quarter is.

Go somewhere else. - Edit
I came with my carnist family. The onion soup was very blend and felt instant-made. My main dish was just not very good - edible and nothing more. The vegan options are multiple, but weirdly limited. No vegan salads options, no cheese substitute or bread with the vegan version of the soup.
Read moreThe service was a bit slow as well.
We went because a lot of vegan options are closed on Monday, but you do better visiting other simpler options around.

Super food and very friendly, attentive but not over bearing staff. We both had meals from the Formula menu which we thought was great value. Would highly recommend this place. At last our quest for a good fully vegetarian/vegan restaurant in the Latin Quarter is over!
