Good but nothing wowed me

This meal did not hit the mark for me but I may have just chosen poorly. I'm keen to support places doing higher end vegan dining and I'd happily give them another try when I make it back to Paris again.

I had the sesame marinated tofu to start and it just lacked flavour. It was a big piece of tofu with a lovely texture and a good sesame seed coating. As we all know, getting your marinade into a big piece of tofu is not easy and it just didn't taste of much. It's served on a soy and lime yoghurt sauce and this also didn't really deliver enough flavour.

In classic fine dining style, the dishes are mostly just a list of ingredients so I didn't know what to expect from the mains (except probably the bowl of pasta) I went for the hazelnut mashed potatoes and was a bit underwhelmed again. The issue probably is that mashed potatoes are just not that exciting so I'm willing to hold my hands up and admit I probably chose poorly. The tamari and rooibos sauce was pleasant and got good when I got a nice hit of the wholegrain mustard too. The white asparagus was fine, I don't have strong feelings about asparagus maybe it was great asparagus but it didn't do much for me. Bits of hazelnut added a crunch and I was disappointed to find the mushrooms on the dish were a few raw slices. I always prefer my mushrooms cooked.

For dessert I got a creme brulee topped with some completely unnecessary goji berries. It was a hearty deep pot of creme brulee which unfortunately meant the caramelised top to custard ratio was not what I had hoped for. The top was nice and sweet and crispy but it was already broken up so I didn't get the chance to break my way in. The custard itself was well set but I would have preferred it to be a bit sweeter.

I had a bottled drink of fizzy cherry, verbena and lavender which was nice. The flavours were good and it wasn't very sweet which worked well.

Great food and atmosphere!

Had dinner here last night and it was amazing. The atmosphere is lovely, slightly sophisticated, not as hippy dippy as vegan places are where Im from. Its cozy and beautiful, the staff are so friendy and the food delicious and FILLING. I had sesame tofu, hazelnut mashed potato and then pancakes - was SO full.

Pros: Food quality and size, Atmosphere, Food choice

Delightful

The menu is a bit unusual at first glance. Mashed potatoes as a main dish?!? But it works. There is creativity here and unusual flavor profiles that work surprisingly well. The wine list is small but well thought out. The Syrah was perfect!
Service was friendly. Reservation recommended.

Pros: Creative menu, New flavors

Vegan fine dining

Lives up to its reputation as vegan fine dining.

Very well executed dishes, in both presentation and flavour construction.

Compact seating.

Cons: Cramped seating

Bastante bien pero caro

Me gustó mucho, pero el precio era algo elevado. Entiendo que la cocina es gourmet pero para ese precio me esperaba algo más de sabor.

De entrante me pedí un aguacate que estaba bueno, pero no era una locura. De principal pedí la pasta que sí que estaba bastante buena. De postre, mousse de chocolate que estaba deliciosa.

Recomiendo bastante el restaurante, pero creo que viendo el precio me esperaba algo más (teniendo en cuenta que estaba en París, donde todo es caro)

DELICIOUS FOOD

We got here by chance on our first day in Paris and it was a very lucky find.
Nice place, helpful staff and, above all, delicious vegan food.
Definitely worth the visit.

Delicious and beautiful food

We were so happy to find this place. We love to eat lots of vegetables. After a few days of Parisian food, which is delicious but very salty and often lacking greens, this was a relief: lots of tasty and delicious vegetables, served in creative and aesthetically pleasing ways. Also good gluten free and wholemeal ingredients!

An amazing find

Great variety of quality food.
Not the cheapest around, but quality ingredients and it was a proper gourmet experience.
The crepe for dessert was unbelievable! 😋
Recommend booking beforehand.
We got a table for 2 at the last minute, and the place was full within 20 minutes.

Pros: The food!

Cons: Not cheap!

A great intro to Paris

The pancake things were good. My pasta was silly smooth, but not as flavourful as I prefer. The staff spoke good English. It felt healthy and the vibe was really nice!!

Tasteful, beautiful, great!

Great traditional food where interestingly there is no attempt to make plant based meat, the tasteful and beautiful dishes made from veggies are perfect

Delicious upscale meal

I didn't have a reservation, but showed up right when they opened and the waiter let me order at the bar. I think their menu changes frequently, but I had a Mediterranean eggplant and hummus dish — really delicious. This would be a great option for a splurge or celebration with friends.

One of the best

Two brothers and their mother, Charlotte, provide a brilliant dining experience starting with a wonderful atmosphere, outstanding service, and some of the most creative and fresh foods served locally and sustainably. Five stars indeed!

Delicious!

The food was amazing, really good wine selection.
We had the tofu & pancake starters, the mushroom & lentil & rigatoni mains and the pear & chocolate mousse for dessert.



The service was very good with friendly staff.
We went to the other location around 3 years ago and it had more of a friendly feel, but still can’t fault this one.
The place looks amazing and has apparently been recently refurbished, very clean & cosy vibe.

Our Last Night In Paris spot

This has become our last-night-in-Paris dinner spot whenever we are here. Tonight’s diner was just a bit off from previous experiences. The wait staff was not engaged with us or the food, the dishes were ok (sesame marinated tofu, lentils and mushroom, squash snd chanterelle rigatoni, and chocolate mousse) but not exciting. But it remains 100% vegan and open on a Monday evening. We will be back.

Pros: Slightly upscale dining experience, All vegan

I wouldn't go back, sorry

I agree with another review a bit further down. Basic ingredients and lack of flavour or je ne sais quoi. We felt rushed to eat and leave too. Do give it a try though! I know some restaurants can have off moments depending on the staff that night.

Pros: A for effort on the menu!

Cons: Expensive for what you get

Highlight of our trip

Friendly, welcoming staff, lovely decor, sublime menu. Absolutely great food! We had the asparagus and the tofu dishes to start, and both were delicious. For main, the rigatoni and the potato dishes. For dessert, the chocolate mousse and the pancakes. Could not fault a single thing. I have been to so many vegan restaurants that are trying to achieve this kind of vibe with this style of menu, and they fail dismally. I'll be thinking about this food for a long time to come!
