French cuisine in a vegan coat - Edit
The restaurant was already full when we arrived. It requires reservation if you want to have a chance to have a seat!
Read moreThe staff was very friendly and made the experience even better. The restaurant offers a full menu of well-known French dishes fully plant-based. Our choice went to the pate, “blanquette” and “cassoulet”.
The taste of the pâté was amazing, even if the texture is not comparable to the ‘original’ one.
The main dishes were nicely presented and tasted good. However, unfortunately, I had no wahouuuu factor.
Portion size was great, we had more than enough, and even weren’t able to have a small space for a dessert. But that means, we have to come back again 😉

Amazing bourgignon - Edit
I had a bourgignon made from Seitan and it was fabolous. It's a very popular spot so a reservation is recommended.

Amazing food! - Edit
I was at this restaurant when everyone was in a hurry because a storm was happening in Paris. With lots of rain of course. (We were sitting outside) Then came one of the best meals I have ever tasted. And it was vegan! We also had a crème brûlée which was amazing. I honestly recommend eating here at least once on your trip to Paris. Or if you’re a local. It was a successful trip even though it rained very heavily on us.
Read morePros: Amazing food!, Nice service., Amazing food (again)
Cons: Toilet not so great.

A firm favourite! - Edit
We’ve been coming to Le Potager Du Marais for years, and I’m a little ashamed to say that during all of that time, our menu choices have remained static and I’ve never posted a HappyCow review. At least the latter is remedied here.
Read moreHaving French Onion Soup, safe in the knowledge that there is no animal-based stock, is such a treat. Their version arrives topped with vegan cheese and plenty of croutons. Even at the end of a hot day (our most recent visit), we couldn’t deviate from the soup, followed by the delicious Seitan Bourguignon with potatoes.
The restaurant has moved to larger premises, but the warm and friendly welcome is the same, and food just as good as always.
Looking forward to our next visit!

Don’t miss it! - Edit
This is my second visit to le Potager Du Marais. The last time was years ago & it was so good I was really excited to return. It did not disappoint! I took a non vegan friend & she was really happy. We both had amazing dishes: mushroom paté, seitan bourgignon, buckwheat pancakes, crème brûlée & chocolate mousse. Wow! If you’re in Paris don’t miss the change for great vegan French food!
Read morePros: All vegan & lots of choice , Friendly helpful staff, The crème brûlée!
Cons: Not budget but great value for what you get

Seven years late… - Edit
I just found my photos of the meal I had here in November 2015! It was amazing, and Paris was not yet the vegan Mecca it has become.

Feine Küche - Edit
Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und relativ schnell bedient. Es war sehr viel los, sodass man definitiv im Vorfeld reservieren sollte! Wir hatten 3 Gänge, die sehr lecker waren. Die Bedienung wirkte sehr gestresst, was aber auf uns keine Auswirkungen hatte. Wie überall in Frankreich sollte man genügend Geld einplanen. Auf jeden Fall sind wir gut satt geworden! Wenn wir das nächste Mal in Paris sind, kommen wir wieder ins Portager du Marais.

Great Authentic French Cuisine Made Vegan - Edit
This venue was very lively when we arrived. We were presented with menus and the specials of the day as well. Staff spoke French and English. We both started off with the French Onion Soup, because....well.. it's Paris. The "cheese" had an amazing scent and flavor. The soup tasted authentic, however a tad bit salty. We ordered the "boeuf bourguignon" which was very good, although we would have liked a bit more "red wine" depth to the dish. I ordered the Cassoulet aux noisettes. It was a bit dry for my taste, and I probably wouldn't order it again. Desserts were amazing. The apricot creme brulee hit the spot and the almond flour chocolate cake was sweet and dense.
Read morePros: French Onion Soup, Desserts
Cons: Some dishes were bland, MUST have a reservation

OMG the chevre chaud! - Edit
I love vegan cheese and was blown away by the "hot cheese salad." Definitely get a reservation if you're going on a weekend. The person who answered the phone spoke English, so don't be afraid to call

Vegan French Food - Edit
When I go abroad I like to try and eat local cuisine but that can be difficult in France so this restaurant was a great find. Traditional French cuisine made vegan. Food was great and the service was good and super quick as well.

Disappointing - Edit
I was really looking forward to going here, but overall, it was a disappointing experience. The food was nice, average, but not exceptional and the presentation of the food left a lot to be desired... It's very expensive for the quality of the food and service. The Breathe restaurants (both of them) have similar prices, but offer an exceptional dining experience, in terms of food, staff, presentation, taste and attention to detail. Potager du Marais has a lot of catching up to do ..

Lovely, unique vegan restaurant. - Edit
We ate an amazing onion soup with a fantastic cheese substitute and an amazing dessert - unfortunately my seitan main course - was completely tasteless and I would not order it again - on the other hand, my partner's lasagna was great :)
