Le Potager de Charlotte

Le potager de Charlotte est le meilleur restaurant dans lequel j'ai mangé. Le serveur était très aimable. Les plats étaient recherchés et savoureux. Mon copain omnivore s'est régalé. Nous sommes sortis remplis mais extasiés.

We reserved a table for 5 and announced that it was an important birthday. As soon as we entered the restaurant we knew we had made the right choice. This place is simply perfect. Food delicious, staff supe friendly and a cosy atmosphere to boot. HIGHLY recommended!

Accueil agréable. Très bonne cuisine. Lieu calme. Prix correct (14 euros le plat).

Leider war der Laden voll, als wir mittags essen wollten, deswegen sind wir später zu einem Dessert zurückgekehrt und es war wirklich sehr lecker, toll angerichtet und eine gute Portion. Ein Besuch ist sehr empfehlenswert!!

It is a good vegan place, with excellent food and nice staff. Don't forget to book !

This is an update on my review of one year ago.
Unfortunately, I'm not that excited anymore.
I don't know if it's the seasonal menu, or if they ran out of imagination for the new dishes; but the food is not as good as it was at the beginning. On top of that, the portions are not sufficient.
Desserts were not they strength, and they still aren't.
The presentation of the dishes, the atmosphere and the service are still great, though.
All-in-all, it's not one of those places that makes me want to come back any time soon.

-------------------------------
The food is a bit different to what you usually get in vegan places around Paris (check their Facebook for the menu).
Besides having good portions, great taste and fair prices, the atmosphere and the service is very pleasant.

It just opened on mid-October, so it is not so crowded yet; but I'd recommend to make a reservation ahead because I think it will become with time a must for every vegan in Paris.

Excellent meal with a complete menu for 28€.

Food was really tasty and they change the menu very frequently. A must done in Paris as a vegan.

Only con is the size of portion which could have been at least a little bit bigger.

Read all the rave reviews of this place so had to check it out for myself whilst I was in Paris. I must admit I wasn't blown away... Maybe I picked a bad main meal?! I had the the parsnip potatoes with lentils and smoked tofu with artichoke and pesto. The food was so tasteless - absolutely no seasoning, it just tasted of dry mash potato. I must have had about three tiny pieces of tofu and no pesto at all. And then I was charged £14.50 for it - extortionate all things considered! Very disappointing as the staff were really accommodating as I arrived alone and they were fully booked but managed to squeeze me in. However I left unimpressed and don't think I would go back. Shame as I am often in the area working and it was good to have a local vegan restaurant near by!

We both had the three-course combination for €28 and shared a bottle of organic, local wine. Everything looked and tasted amazing!
We also liked the atmosphere, the decoration.

This place is so fantastic. Everything on the menu is vegan and gluten-free (only their bread has gluten). They were very accommodating of other allergies and were able to talk through all ingredients in English. The brothers who own the restaurant are wonderful and we had a great time sitting at the bar getting to know them. One is a chef and the other a naturopath and they are very committed to healthy eating. The food lived up to the very best of what I'd expect from a nice meal out in Paris. They had a nice selection of organic wines and local beers. This will definitely be a go-to if we find ourselves back in Paris.

Nice and cozy place, staff is friendly though not very fast, when we arrived, the place was almost empty but we still had to wait a long time for everything to come (menu, drinks, starters etc...). food is tasty and fresh, we had a pumpkin-soup and a avocado/hummus combination for starters, then a rice-noodle/brokkoli/mushroom/cashew-bowl and sweetpotato stuffed aubergines for mains, it was very good but for sure not the most original vegan food in Paris, still would definitely come back

Visiting this beautiful city we were so happy to find such an excellent vegan restaurant!

I booked a dinner for my boyfriend's birthday here and I could not have been happier with my choice. The food was very well-presented and elegant, it was delicious and the price is good!

We both truly enjoyed the three-course meal and the calm atmosphere. Also the beer was great!
The waiter even sang to my boyfriend while presenting him a cake with a lit candle. All evening the service was excellent!

I'm hoping that we can return soon!

Une cuisine sans prétention qui allie simplicité, saveurs et gourmandises.
On sent que les produits sont de qualité pour un très bon rapport qualité/prix.
De quoi aider à devenir vegan :)
Un lieu sans artifice où il fait bon de se faire servir par une équipe souriante et dynamique.

Je trouve que les plats sont vraiment banales. Attentions, les portions sont vraiment petites.
En ce qui concerne les prix, ils sont corrects. Je dirai que c'est prometteur mais que ce n'est pas encore tout à fait ça.

Boyfriend and I had made reservations here for Easter brunch during our Paris vacation, after reading reviews on happy cow. We ended up deciding to come for dinner as well, 2 nights before. A full dinner (appetizer, meal, dessert) is €25, and the breakfast brunch (juice/smoothie, coffee/tea, and 4 courses as well as bread, is €28.

Both are easily worth it. The dishes are extremely creative, inspired, and delicious. I especially loved the dinner. Staff was amazing, spoke English, and the interior is very well-done.

Just gotta go!

I had a brunch - the pancakes were very good - the juice as well -

My friend had a very tasty tofu dish - with some sweet potatoes -

The veggies were very well cooked - that was amazing !

Really great vegan restaurant. I had a smoothie, soup, gnocchi, and a dessert. The gnocchi and the dessert were delicious and were made in a unique way that I have never tried before. Considering how much I ordered, and the amount of preparation for each dish, the bill was pretty reasonable. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good place to eat vegan food in Paris.

Staff was very nice. The juice was made in front of us and the mix of ingredient was surprising but tasted really good. The food was excellent and they made really nice associations. So I definitely recommend the place!

The restaurant itself is a great space, and the staff were lovely, but the food left me wanting something more. I went there for lunch, and my main consisted of a roasted pumpkin, which should have been cooked for longer, with very little seasoning. I hope they work on the menu more, because I want to give this place a better review.

This restaurant is great. I went for brunch which is a fixed menu with a choice of coffee or tea and juice or smoothie. It might change weekly, but I had bread w homemade jam, granola with almond milk, pancakes with kiwi and whipped chocolate, and lastly an avocado wedge with salad and faux deviled egg yolk. All of it was delicious. I definitely recommend this place. Great staff too and very accommodating and speak English.

An excellent vegan restaurant in Paris offering excellent organic, local, vegan food (including super raw food dishes) in a very nice atmosphere.

Easily one of the best vegan restaurants in Paris.
The creators of the restaurant are two devoted and delightful brothers, one trained in naturopathy and the other in the hotel and restaurant business.
The service is excellent. The owners take time to speak with the customers and to answer any of their questions.
The food is fresh, healthy, purely vegan, local, and gluten-free (except for some bread in option).
Most importantly, the dishes are original, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious.
There are plenty of options on the menu to choose from.
The portions are ample.
The decor is lovely and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant.
I believe that this restaurant is a must for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike.
It is open for lunch five days a week. Unfortunately, it is open only one evening per week for the time being. Let's hope they decide to open it several more evenings per week!

My boyfriend and I visited this nice little place twice - first just upon our arrival to Paris when it was technically still closed, but we did get to hang out a bit and could order two delicious smoothies! We checked the lunch menu and it looked promising so next day we came back. Soup starter was mind blowing! - really reach and unusual flavour that makes you very curious about the actual ingredients! Main courses and desert were also original but I still wish I went for another soup hahaha. The dish I ordered had too much vinegar in the salads for my taste, but the rest was good. Really nice and quite light desert of a lemon curd as well. Highly recommended! :)

This restaurant will become the vegan place to go in Paris when looking for very fine dishes. It offers a very creative and excellent food, with fresh and mostly organic and local products. The owners are two young brothers very kind, who developed a great concept here. I had a full dinner here and enjoyed it very much. Portions are sufficient, taste's always there and originality is spreading in your mouth. They also offer very good fresh juices. I really recommend the place that is among my favourites in Paris.

Sacré endroit tout prêt du sacre cœur!!

Finally, A vegan restaurant that is worthy of the capital of gastronomy!! Well balanced flavourful juice, cappuccino with a perfect almond-milk froth, appetizers and mains that are beautiful and delight by their originality. Spot on service - friendly and knowledgeable. The place has a great vibe, feels like a wonderful family affair!

This new restaurant is a godsend! I had a difficult time choosing what to get on the menu as there were a number of choices for the different courses. The presentation was thoughtful and attractive, complemented by a nice homey vibe of the juice and smoothie bar. A great combination. One of the owners noted that I was the first customer to order both a juice and a smoothie, which provided some good lunchtime humor and smiles.

This lovely restaurant recently opened near Gare du Nord. The two brothers running it did a great job renovating it themselves. This, along with the seasonal decorations, make for a clean, cosy and natural vibe.

They have a menu with 3 choices per course, yet it all sounded so tasty I struggled to choose. The food was utterly delicious, and they offer a basket with 3 types of bread to go along with it if you want. They also make a special effort on presentation, adding edible flowers for example.

In terms of drinks, they have a selection of home-made smoothies (I can recommend the spinach, passion fruit and kiwi one!), freshly squeezed juice, beer from a microbrewery in Paris, and organic wine, amongst other things.

The staff is friendly and impeccably trained, and will gladly list out key ingredients if you are curious about the food.

Cyclists will be happy to note that there are two Vélib' stations nearby and "U" bike racks just up the road.
