Good place and cheap

Smart Green Corner is a vegetarian restaurant (mainly vegan with Gluten Free Option). It's a buffet and when I went It's was yummy, the staff is also very friendly. It close to a UGC cinema (Gambetta place).

Smart Green Corner est un restaurant végétarien (principalement vegan avec des options sans gluten). C'est un buffet et quand j'y suis allée c'était très bon, l'équipe est aussi très sympa.La formule entrée/plat/dessert est à seulement à 9,90€. Il est 20 rue Castelnau d'Auros, juste à côté de l'UGC de Gambetta.

Pros: Good, Cheap, close to the UGC cinema

So sad to see it gone

This was my favourite restaurant for many years - sadly it is now closed, and has been replaced by a Pizza restaurant😒
RIP Smart Green Corner

Loved it

Wonderful idea for a restaurant: self-serve semi-buffet. A good variety of food, a fair price, and good seating. Flavours can be a bit bland, but the overall experience is very satisfying.

Yeah!!!

Ein vollkommen veganes Restaurant in einer Seitenstraße Bordeaux. Angeboten wird ein abwechslungsreiches veganes Buffet mit kalten und warmen Speisen. Zu einem fairen Preis von 9,90 € (Stand Juli 2019 ) kann man sich seinen Teller nach Lust und Laune füllen und erhält dazu noch eine kleine kalte vegane Suppe und ein veganes Dessert. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Pros: Komplett vegan!

Fantastic value

Great value at 9.90€ a plate (plenty enough to pile on food), which also includes a small soup & dessert. Been there twice within a month and the food selection changes (great IMO). Small courtyard, indoor and outdoor seating.

Pros: All vegan, Fantastic value, You get to choose the selections

Friendly with good food and very inexpensive

It's a great idea to have a Vegan buffet option, but you should arrive early as they tend to run low on options.

Pros: Fully vegan, Organic!, Healthy

Cons: None

Good option for the everyday life

It's a buffet-principle restaurant, so it's not very elaborated, but it has a good choice and worth the price.

Just had lunch here with an omnivorous friend and we both loved it! Great value (I'm used to this kind of buffet costing around 15-20€) , and great food!

Pros: Great value + delicious , Lots of options

Cons: only open for lunch

Un lieu d'une grande qualité et d'une beauté sérieuse.

Je suis un habitué des places vegans et végétariennes en France et tout particulièrement en région parisienne.
Je peux témoigner de la qualité irréprochable de l'effort mis dans chaque plat de ce buffet, de l’honnêteté des prix ainsi que de la chaleur de l'accueil.
Je n'ai jamais eut de terribles expériences en allant manger chez des végétaliens, mais ici je ne pouvais simplement rien espérer de plus. C'est un coup de cœur absolu, un nouvel amour 100% bio et sans gluten en sus d'être végétalien.
J'y amènerais sans crainte mes amis omnivores, ils en repartiraient aussi rassasiés que satisfaits culinairement parlant !

Pros: Good price/quality ratio, All you can fit in your plate style of serving

quirky concept with cheap but not amazing food

It's great to find somewhere like this in Bordeaux! It is essentially €10 for all you can fit onto a plate, and a dessert. Only been here once, so I am not sure how much the food varies, but when I went it was quite tasty. There were some hits and misses, however. The decor was very quirky.
Essentially, you get what you paid for.
Overall, a must-try because it is such great value for money, and the staff are very friendly.

Pros: value for money, concept

Cons: food is good but not great

Nice location, center of town, I liked the atmosphere and the food was good! I only wish the portions were bigger but overall was good for a vegan place in Bordeaux.

Pros: Clean Place, Friendly Staff, Good Value

Excellente cantine végane

A la recherche de restaurants végétariens ou végans proposant des menus sous la forme d'un buffet, chose rarissime en France, la surprise fut heureuse de tomber sur Kitchen Garden, en plein cœur de Bordeaux.

Pour 12,90€, une formule proposant : une (mini) soupe, un dessert, et un buffet à volonté (à condition de se servir en une fois). Très bonnes options bios de légumes et céréales, simples et savoureuses, parfois agrémentées d'une sauce à la crème végétal. Manque peut-être de davantage d'options de protéines végétales type seitan (mais il semble que le restaurant soit sans gluten only) + tofu/protéines de soja.

Le restaurant dispose de quelques tables en terrasse.

Bonne adresse à un prix très raisonnable. On aurait juste aimé la possibilité de prendre alternativement une formule uniquement avec buffet seul ou + boisson/café, sans entrée ni dessert.

Excellent food!

We had a wonderful meal and were quite delighted with the quality of the food: lots of fresh herbs, vibrant vegetables, great flavour combinations and exceptional value for money. As we're vegetarian and I'm also gluten-free (with some food allergies as well), Smart Green Corner is a godsend for us. I can choose what I put on my plate, and I know it's all nutritious food, prepared with care. The variety was excellent and there were plenty of fruit, vegetable, grain and protein options. We will absolutely return; merci beaucoup pour un très bon repas, et car vous êtes des personnes très gentilles! :-)

Pros: Healthy food, Great flavours, Suitable for allergies

Cons: None, None, None

Disappointing

We were pleased to finally find a veg/vegan restaurant open in August but this didn't live up to expectations. Boasting soup ,main meal and desert for less than10 euros it seems to be a bargain. But the first and last courses. were so small as to not warrant a course at all. The food was mainly bland and uninteresting. Chick peas and rice were undercooked

Pros: Inexpensive, Friendly staff, Open in aug9

Cons: Tiny courses, Ingedients rather prepared meals, Uninspired food

Buffet lunch on sunday- go for it :)

I went to lunch on sunday and it was very nice and tasty.
You have a soup, than you can choose on buffet (warning : you have only one turn so choose wisely) then you have choice between two desserts and a hot drink.

evyrthing is vegan and tasty and gluten free. curry plate was excellent. dessert is a little bit small, but i think it is because they don't want to waste food (people take a lot on buffet, to taste evrything)

Pros: choice, tasty

Cons: price, only one turn on buffet

Bonito rincón!

El local está limpio y con una decoración muy agradable. Es pequeño pero acogedor.
El servicio es muy agradable y te explican cómo funciona nada más entrar.
La comida está buena. Es tipo bufete de una sola toma, por 9,90€ (diciembre 2015) te incluye una riquísima crema de verduras de entrante y lo que puedas y quieras cargar en un plato alargado (suficiente para la mayoría). Postre y agua incluidos.
Comimos muy a gusto!
Como Tip, visita el baño, es curioso! :)

Each to their own.

I think the main meal lacked flavour but the cheesecake was very delicious. Service was excellent overall. Decent price for full meal around 12€

Its good but it is expensive

I was very pleased with the food at Smart Green Corner but it was quite expensive - 7 euros for a salad - if you don't eat in. If you eat in then apparently it costs more.

Pros: Good food, Lots of choice

Cons: Expensive, More expensive to eat in

Lovely place

What a delightful little place. Everything is vegan and gluten-free AND everything is delicious. I met two guys who run it, they explained that everything they used in the venue was upcycled, repaired, recycled. One of the owner's wife is a naturopath and comes every so often to give talks and organise little workshops.
It was a real pleasure to spend some time there, and I really recommend it.

Pros: All gluten-free, Friendly staff

Cons: No table service
