Great vegan galettes - Edit
There are two vegan galettes on the menu (clearly labelled) and they were both very tasty, satisfying and well presented.
Read moreThe Chiara has mushrooms, leeks and onions; the Diane has mushrooms and (yum!) potatoes.
Together with a bottle of cider, we had a lovely lunch.
Pros: Savoury vegan galettes , Cider

Very good galette - Edit
Stylish restaurant that only has 2 savoury vegan galettes with buckwheat dough. I didn’t like the fact that they had just vegetables and no protein source, but I tried them both and they were very good. Prices are a bit high but it’s ok for this area I guess

Absolutely delicious - Edit
Very yummy and one of the few places in Paris to get vegan galettes! Super cute restaurant and ambiance as well. Definitely a great place to go especially if you’re traveling with non vegans. I’ve had both vegan galette options and they are both amazing. They have 2 vegan desserts but not really a vegan crepe dessert option. They told me that I could “make my own” vegan dessert crepe but it would be the galette batter because they’re crepe batter isn’t vegan. I have yet to try that option because I wasn’t sure how it would turn out. But it is 100 percent worth coming to for the savory galettes… so good!

Very good - Edit
Very good restaurant not far from notre dame they have 2 vegan option of galette de sarrasin but they are also very open to do some changing with the non vegan galette. They did for me one with hummus of tumeric spinach and tomatoes very good and prices not expensive!

Delicious Galettes - Edit
Vegetarian Restaurant with 2 vegan options of galettes and two other vegan dishes (bowls). The galette with mushrooms and the one with potatoes were both good. They cost around 9 €, which is reasonable.

Underwhelming - Edit
The decor is really nice.
Read moreThere were only 2 vegan crêpe options (I believe there used to be more), which was quite disappointing. The filling was quite tasty, the galette was alright, and the dessert (crème d'amande) was fine. All in all, an ok restaurant, with good service, but simply underwhelming...
It's also written vegetarian here and on the menu, but I believe they have ham and chicken crêpes now.... Quite sad.
Pros: Nice decor, Good service
Cons: Not vegetarian

Delicious food! - Edit
Very good food, very friendly staff. The place was really nicely decorated and super cosy. The galettes are delicious and the salads too. A lot of vegetarian options and also a lot of vegan options or vegetarian option which can be made into vegan (like leave out the egg or cheese). Salads are a little big.

Special decor but less special food - Edit
Chez Germain is conveniently located when you are visiting some of Paris' highlights. The decor is something you would expect outside but it is original and cosy to find it indoors.
Read moreThe service is very fast and friendly. I had a gazpacho, an original combination with mango but not that tasty and quite chunky. For the main I had a quinoa salad which was okay but the dressing was very oily and not that tasty. All in all quite expensive for what I ate but it's a nice place to have a cosy diner, the crepes looked delicious.
Pros: Accesible location, Friendly staff
Cons: Expensive, Not that tasty

Cute place but food not good - Edit
The place is nice and stylish. Unfortunately, I didn’t like the food at all. The bowls are completely cold, also the quinoa, chickpea curry etc. The gazpacho was kind of ok and the almond mousse desert was lacking any sweetness. If you are solely looking for healthy food this might be your place but if you want tasty vegetarian/vegan food it’s definitely not. Also, they only offer one white and one red wine.
Read morePros: Restaurant looks very cute and stylish, Healthy food
Cons: Bowls are cold and not really tasty, Desert without any sweetness, Almost no selection of wines

Carte prometteuse mais assiettes décevantes - Edit
La carte est prometteuse mais le résultat dans l’assiette est plus que décevant.
Read moreDes goûts peu maîtrisés, des préparations mal cuisinées nous avons été très déçus par la qualité de cette adresse qui est pourtant plébiscitée par beaucoup ...
le service était hésitant et lorsque nous avons demandé un couteau nous avons dû nous justifier et confirmer qu’il en manquait un ...
Seule la décoration apporte quelque chose...
Pros: Quelques options végétaliennes
Cons: Insipide , Service peu agréable

Good savory galettes - Edit
We had two of their vegan galettes: the Chiara (potatoes/zucchini) and the Diane (champignons/leek). Both were yummy; but the portions were a bit on the smaller side, so I'd recommend having an appetizer as well.
Read moreIn any case, I found prices to be fair for the portion size.
We also took two of their vegan desserts: the Margherite (almond cream with nuts) and the Anais (chia pudding with lemon cream). The pudding was ok; but I wouldn't have the almond cream again as it was nothing special for me. I wonder why they cannot just add sweet galettes or offer sweet vegan crepes by default. That would make their dessert menu so much more interesting.
The staff was not rude at all; but was not that friendly either, so there's some room for improvement there.
Anyway, having savory galettes in a fully veg*n restaurant in Paris is not that easy at the moment, so if you are craving for them, you should give Chez Germain a try.
Pros: vegan galettes, fair prices, location
Cons: not all vegan, limited vegan desserts

Great environment - Edit
Super cute location and overall setup of the restaurant. The food was really good but only if you are looking for a more healthy/salady place. Not a great place if you are looking for more of a full (substantial) meal. Has clearly labeled vegan options and vegan desserts. Along with other things, they can make the dessert crêpes vegan, you just have to ask. Service was friendly and very fast (also spoke clear English if you are visiting).

Nice place with average food - Edit
Chez Germain is very well located and the restaurant itself is really pretty (there is a nice mediterranean vibe).
Read moreThe food was decent even if, in my opinion, the buckwheat crepes were too light on the fillings.
We choose the Mélusine (with goat cheese, honey, rosted hazelnuts, mint and salade) but I didn't had mint in mine. My boyfriend tried the Chloé (with spinach, smoked tofu, almond, sesame and roasted hazelnuts) but once again, the filling were pretty light.
We also tried the vegan desserts :
- Marguerite: almond cream with a very light touch of orange blossom (we didn't tasted it), pistachios, almonds and hazelnuts
- Anaïs: chia seeds pudding with lemon curd.
I think maybe it's worthy trying their bowls or salad. It can be a good location for a buckweat crepe if you had a light appetite or maybe for a dessert crepe.
Chez Germain est très bien situé et le restaurant en lui même est très sympa (avec une touche méditerranéenne dans la déco).
La nourriture est ok, même si à mon avis, les crêpes au sarrasin ne sont pas assez garnies.
Nous avons pris la Mélusine (fromage de chèvre, miel, noisettes grillées, menthe fraiche et salade) mais je n'ai pas eu de menthe dans la mienne. Mon copain à pris la Chloé (épinards, tofu fumé au sésame, crème de soja, noisettes grillées) mais une fois encore, la garniture était trop légère.
Nous avons aussi testé les desserts vegan :
- Marguerite : crème d'amande à la fleur d'oranger (très subtile, nous ne l'avons pas sentie), pistaches, amandes et noisettes
- Anaïs : pudding de graines de chia au citron
Je pense qu'il faudrait peut-être essayer leurs salades ou leurs bowls. Ca peut être un bon choix pour une crêpe au sarrasin si vous avez un petit appétit ou alors pour une crêpe sucrée.
Pros: great location, nice decoration, quick service
Cons: not enough filling on the buckweat crepes

Lovely crêperie - Edit
So happy to have discovered this crêperie, which has loads of clearly-marked vegan options and is open non-stop (very rare in Paris) and late. We had a spinach-potato-coconut cream soup, a vegan bowl with rice, lentils, and roasted vegetables, and a savory crêpe with mushrooms, potatoes and a soy cream sauce. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh and home-made. They have vegan desserts, but the dessert crêpes weren't marked vegan. The restaurant itself is really agreeable, with high windows and cozy seating. It's very colorful and unique. It's a great place to sit and watch people stroll by along Saint André des Arts. The service was good too: friendly and quick.
Read morePros: Delicious food, Lovely decor, Open non-stop
Cons: Would be nice to have vegan sweet crêpes too
