Nice vibes and great food - Edit
I loved the food here, everything on the menu (it's a nice small menu) was something I havent tried before so that's always exciting. The fried chocolate balls dessert is just... wow. Drinks are great and the people friendly!

Filling and tasty meal - Edit
I went to L’embuscade for a dinner after work with my partner - so arrived very hungry! Staff were friendly and attentive.
Read moreThe food was well cooked with melt in your mouth vegetables in the main dishes and flavourful bases to the dish. The meals were filling without being heavy! Will be coming back.

One of my favorite worldwide! - Edit
This African restaurant is a gem in Paris. It offers a terrific vegan food with so many tastes. It is first-class cuisine here. I tried the yassa and some fritters. It was so good and orgasmic. The place offers also a wide variety of cocktails that worth the price. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is warm and lively. It is one of my favorite place worldwide (and I visited many)!

Wonderful place - Edit
I have been there with some colleagues some weeks ago.
Read moreWe tried all starters and the main dishes. All very original and tasty. The staff is extremly friendly.
At starters stage I would have liked to see some kind of bread or original alternative.
For the great main dishes we asked for additional rice which was kindly offered. I think rice or the like should be the standard to not go home hungry :)
Very recommended place.
Pros: Original and tasty, Good vibes
Cons: A bit pricey

Will need to come back - Edit
We had the brunch, which consisted on:
Read more- 2 pancakes (rose water and plantain banana)
- A tagine of vegetables with fonio
- BHB (Beignets/Haricots/Bouillie), a typical street food plate from Cameroon with fritters and kidney beans
- A crumble
- Hot drink and Ice Tea
Portions were very generous, so it was a great deal considering its price (25€).
The food was interesting, different to what you usually get in other Parisian vegan restaurants; however, my pancakes were a bit burnt, and I found the tagine a bit too salty.
The service also was very slow, as it took more than 45 minutes to get the first dish.
As they have just started the brunch, I imagine they are still learning how to manage it; but I hope they'll do it quickly!
In any case, I will come back to try their regular menu.
Pros: good value, original dishes

Capeverdean vegan - Edit
It's possible to enjoy the food on the newly extended on-street terrace. I have to admit the inside part of the bar-restaurant is a bit noisy because of the music. The proximity of the street and a nearby redlight might be annoying though.
Read moreThe service is perfect, the waiter was available and reactive.
I took a hot dog and a mafé that I enjoyed. The quantities are quite sufficient.
The prices are average for that kind of food in Paris.
I regret that ticket restaurant (not taken yet) will be limited to lunches.
Pros: capeverdean, service
Cons: noise

Copieux, savoureux et pas trop cher - Edit
Ce restaurant m'a permis de découvrir la cuisine afro-caribéenne vegan que je ne connaissais pas! L'accueil est vraiment sympathique et convivial, il y a une jolie terrasse pour s'installer à l'extérieur. J'ai pris un apéritif avec samossas, un méli-mélo d'entrées et puis des frites d'igname et le dessert parce que je commençais à être calée. Au niveau des plats c'est très bien servi, avec des saveurs exotiques qu'on a plaisir à découvrir. Mention spéciale pour le "diabolitos"au dessert, l'un des meilleurs desserts vegan que j'ai mangés. Hâte de revenir pour goûter d'autres plats!
Read morePros: l'accueil très agréable , la cuisine originale et savoureuse, Bon rapport qualité/ prix
Cons: un peu bruyant à l'extérieur avant 20h

Unique in Paris - Edit
Having Afro-Caribbean vegan food is exceptional in Paris: it may well be the only place offering these specialties in the city. The food is good and unexpected, with huge portions. Due to Covid-19, we were seated outside on amenaged parking spaces, yet the setting was still lovely. Service is friendly, though slow.

Bar/restaurant/concert : creative vegan cuisine from the Cape Verde - Edit
Located in Paris, at 47 rue de la RocheFoucault, this bar restaurant is the first Afro Vegan bar / dancing specialized in Rhum !
Read moreArrived in November 2019, the chef Phoebe and the manager of the place Patrick were able to agree to offer a creative vegan cuisine from the Cape Verde Islands!
The legendary place of Pigalle is a bar, restaurant and concert hall.
The welcome is very warm, we feel a good party spirit.
During the COVID period, a large terrace made of recycled materials was used on the sidewalk and parking spaces.
The dishes are hearty, energized by the chef and served with a smile by all the members of the restaurant.
I particularly liked the peanut dumplings and its tomato sauce.
Having eaten this mdi well, I have not tested the hotdog or burger but they were very appetizing.
the sweet potato and yam fries are very good and light it changes from traditional fatty fries.
And for dessert, the bewitching "los diabolitos" mini crispy dark chocolate donuts with a peanut sauce were fantastic. It made you want to start again!
In short, an attractive, welcoming place, good typical dishes remixed by an incredible chef makes it possible to spend a superb evening with friends!
