Outstanding - Edit
We had an excellent dinner here a couple of years ago and came back on our latest trip to Paris for lunch.
Read moreAs expected, everything was just wonderful: sesame and fennel tartlet, focaccia with crème fraiche and savoury pickled peach, buckwheat congee with seaweed and mushrooms, bell pepper risotto with chipotle walnut crumble (wow!), and a small selection of French vegan cheeses. And wine, of course.😄

Tofu starter and three vegan cheese sampler - Edit
Both dishes were great! I also had orange wine which was also tasty. I plan to go back as there are so many other things I want to try. I wish I had gotten a picture of the tofu appetizer as it was quite lovely, but I didn’t think of it till I had already dug in.

J'ai beaucoup aimé! - Edit
Le jeune homme qui m’a servie était adorable, j’ai pris à emporter leur formule plat + boisson. Leur assiette chou-fleur/houmous était délicieuse et j’ai pu goûter une marque de kombucha que je ne connaissais pas😄je recommande et reviendrai avec plaisir pour consommer sur place car le lieu est très mignon

Assolutamente Consigliato! - Edit
In viaggio a parigi, non potevo non provare questo ristorante, sempre ben recensito.
Read moreRisultato? lo consiglio anche io!
Il locale è molto carino, accogliente, ottimo il servizio, buono anche il rapporto qualità prezzo.
Abbiamo, in 4, assaggiato tutte le proposte del menù. I miei preferiti? tra gli antipasti il tofu arrosto e la spuma di asparagi bianchi
tra i piatti principali,la tortilla e la patata dolce.
Consiglio poi di lasciare “posto” per il dessert: la cheese cake foresta nera, è incredibile!
ps. consiglio di prenotare

All amazing + a vegan cheese plate! - Edit
What a lovely place. The food was just fabulous, in fact I can't think of a better fine dining experience that I've had as a vegan. Such a joy to have a cheese board at a restaurant again!
Read moreI've been a bit disillusioned recently with vegan fine dining being one artfully glazed carrot on a plate or some such. This was completely different. Just well thought out, balanced, delicious dishes that happen to be plant based.
Other people seem to love it, so it's just personal opinion. But the only course that we weren't completely sure on was the unstructured apple tart tatin. We felt it would have been nicer with a warm element and the shortbread was a little hard. Everything else was incredible. I loved my dessert of Mont Blanc verrine with bergamot and wasn't about to share it!
The waiting staff were also kind and friendly. 10/10 wholeheartedly recommend.

Best fancy restaurant experience in Paris - Edit
Wow guys! This place was awesome. For starters the decor is so nice. We came by for lunch and ordered two mains and two desserts. Some of the comments were talking about portions being little but honestly I think it was perfect! Flavours were so on point 🤌🏻 definitely haute gamme, the presentation, the taste, the innovation (they do their own meringues)… 10/10. Apparently they change their menus seasonally so we are 100% coming back in spring and so on #Veganuary

Authentic seasonal tasting menu in Paris - yes! - Edit
This was one of the best dinners of our two week trip. We booked the tasting menu for two, as well as the wine accompaniment for one. We don’t drink much, but we do enjoy good wine. First, let me say that the wine taster was well-worth it – great value and I think we had four different wines? The food was outstanding and we really enjoyed it – it felt like a high end French culinary experience, even though I could have eaten a lot more (I eat a lot and this was definitely not an American-style big satisfying meal). If you’re like me, just have a big lunch and come to enjoy the taste and flavor of great cooking. I would come back here every time the menu changes and do it again. Also I must mention that the staff were very friendly, especially the woman from the kitchen who brought most of our dishes – she was very sweet and we could tell that our compliments meant a lot to her.

Nice degustation menu - Edit
We enjoyed the degustation menu but I think we expected a bit more after reading all the wonderful reviews. Let’s say it was not mind blowing. The food was nice but the quantity was a bit to small (we ordered one thing each from the menu cause we were hungry). One of the girls of the staff was very nice while the other one… well it’s Paris. The place gets very very noisy when full so the atmosphere is not as nice as it could be.

Creative dishes - Edit
Visited The Friendly Kitchen based off of the recommendation of a local Happycow’er. I ordered the Kohlrabi “raviole” with ponzu sauce and the Black rice risotto with satay sauce. I enjoyed them both but the risotto was my fav. A bread basket was also included, which was nice.

Next level - Edit
In Paris vegan food scene, this place is IT. I've been twice now, this and last year, the menu is an exciting surprise every time.
Read moreMy partner and I compared The Friendly Kitchen to our experience of Michellin vegan fine dining in Bangkok, but, as he put it, this is "more relatable", more down to Earth. But the quality, taste, creativity, presentation are up there.
Already planning another visit.
Pros: Local, organic, seasonal produce , Creative combinations and presentation , Incredible taste

I loved this place, service was really great and fast. The food was really tasteful, as was the wine. The restaurant is located in a nice area. Not to many tables which is great for your dining experience but I would advice booking a table.

Quelle belle découverte. Le repas était vraiment exceptionnel du début à la fin et le service aimable et efficace.

Casual fine dining at its best - and the price tag is friendly as well - Edit
For the taste and quality of the food, just let me point to all the rave reviews by others. It’s vegan fine dining just a little bit below a Michelin star in terms of food composition, complexity and design, in a very friendly and casual atmosphere. What struck us most is the price. If you choose a la carte, you pay the same as in (nearly) all the other vegan restaurants in Paris, that is around 20 € for a main dish, starters and desserts are cheaper as usual. That is you can get tasty, but otherwise “normal”, household food like a vegan burger or lasagne in one place that also has 4,5 or 5 stars on Happy Cow for the same money you pay at this place for an elaborate, high class, instagrammable (if you care) dish with several distinct components. What’s not to love! If you’re really into food, by all means opt for the menu decouverte (pre-booking is obligatory for that offer, and it is not available on every day).

Vegan fine dining - Edit
Lovely atmosphere and great service with friendly staff, happy to speak English. The food is high quality and well presented. Not the place to go if you have a large appetite as the portions are quite small - needed some carbs to fill the other half of the plate! I think you really need all three courses, which then works out quite expensive. The cheese was amazing - so nice to have the option of a cheese board, although it could have been bigger. Not sure I would return for a family meal due to the price but would definitely go again as a couple for a special treat.

Wowzer! What a gem! - Edit
My partner and I was looking forward to trying their 5-6 course meal, but was told that it was only offered on specific days. We tried some items from their menu and was blown away by the flavors. The portions were small, but the flavors made up for it. Be sure to make a reservation as it gets filled up fast.

Amazing cheese! - Edit
This was a healthier restaurant than I would usually visit. Portions were small but the food was delicious. The cheese plate was incredible. I had to stop eating and double check it was a vegan restaurant because it tasted so authentic. Creamy, tangy, like the very best French cheese. Not to be missed.

As good as it looks - Edit
I wanted to try their food for a while because the photos of it looked outstanding. Well, surprisingly, it tasted as good as it looked. A real vegan and gluten-free restaurant which gives you many new ideas how to prepare vegan food. We tried lunch formula with starter and main dish for 25€ but we should come back to enjoy their dinner menu as well. Good value for money.
