GO HERE - Edit
This restaurant is exactly what you pray it is - amazing French vegan food. Honestly, it was so hard to pick what to get. The waiter suggested Escargot and Coq Au Vin. Of course, he said he could only one favorite. It has been so long since I had proper French food. I could have cried. Come here!! 🥹❤️

Good but not worth $$ - Edit
My teen daughter and I dined early on a Monday night. The waiter was polite and attentive. We had the Vegan escargot, which was very good. I had the beif bourginon, which was very good but a bit too salty. Of there was bread on the side that would have helped balance it out. My daughter had the steak frite, which she enjoyed. We shared the creme brulee. The caramelized sugar on top was not crunchy and the orange flavor was a bit too strong.
Read moreMy main issues did not have to do with the food, though. My daughter arrived before me. There were only 2 other tables occupied, but they sat us at the table closest to the bathroom. Maybe they were just trying to spread us farther from the other diners. But it didn't feel cool, especially since we were the only patrons who were people of color. Also, for the price of the restaurant, I was disappointed in the lack of tablecloths, the use of paper rather than cloth napkins. Also, we had leftovers that we wanted to bring home and I was surprised that we had to box our own food. Not what I generally experience at a high end restaurant.
I'm glad I went back doubt I'll be back.

Finally a vegan crepe - Edit
This was my first time having crepes after going vegan and everything was great. This place is a hidden gem. I'll definitely come back when I'm in New York next time.

Ratatouille and French onion soup - Edit
Empty for lunch on July 4th. Burn your mouth vegan Gruyère cheese tastes great. All vegan of course. The ratatouille is a big spicy. And both dishes are salty

So delicious! I highly recommend the escargot and crème brûlée. In my opinion, there weren’t enough options without meat substitute. But that’s French food I guess!

Good - Edit
Delice et sarrasin had incredible service, which really made the experience amazing! We really enjoyed everything we ate: the ratatouille was probably the crowd favorite, it had a really great smoky flavor that was super delicious! We also enjoyed the crab cake and the escargot. To anyone going, I would rec the escargot and the ratatouille for sure! We finished the dinner with the orange creme brûlée, which had an amazing citrusy flavor but a slightly odd gelatinous texture. Overall great experience and great food! I will be returning soon to try their other offerings!

French vegan cuisine - Edit
The food was interesting. I really liked the steak. The texture was very "meaty." I liked the flavour as well. Cheese pancace was not too bad as well. I did have better vegan cheeses before, not too big of a fan that pancace itself was sweet a bit.
Read moreThe tables are too close, feels like you are sitting with other people.
Pros: Steak and truffle fries, The fact that there is vegan french cuisine.
Cons: Tables too close, Creme brule was cold and tasted like store bought

Deliciously Vegan & Authentic French Cuisine - Edit
This hole in the wall restaurant serves deliciously authentic vegan French food. They have a decently sized menu with a large variety of foods including sweet and savoury crepes (as pictured), faux meats and much more. The food will leave you satisfied and definitely ready to take some home. They also have gluten-free options, their sweet crepes are naturally gluten-free and the savoury crepes can be made gluten-free upon request. The menu clearly dictates a number of allergens to help customers choose the best dish suited for their needs. This restaurant is incredibly expensive so keep this in mind when visiting. I would love to go once more to try more of their menu but I would keep in mind the cost.
Read morePros: Depicts allergens clearly on menu, Authentic French cuisine , Offers Gluten-free options clearly on menu
Cons: Extremely expensive

Good food but might be a tad overrated? Everyone should decide themselves. - Edit
Food was tasty but really not the best I’ve ever had. Seemed like a bit mass produced vs really from scratch. The steak appeared to be juicy marbles which I have at home. The way they prepared it though was excellent.

Good food and relaxing atmosphere - Edit
We arrived over an hour early for our reservation. Luckily, they were able to seat us. It is a small place but it is tasteful. The music was very relaxing. I had the Coq Au Vin which was a heavy on the mushrooms. The soy chicken wings were very good in the thick sauce. It was slightly salty for my taste. I wish I had gotten more of the carrots and potatoes. It was definitely good. My husband had the steak and frites. He enjoyed it. There was one server and I didn't ask for ketchup for the frites when he put the food down. My husband was in the bathroom when the food came. He ate it without the ketchup. We ordered a crepe for dessert with strawberries, whipped cream and chocolate. It was delicious. My husband had a coffee with almond milk. He really enjoyed it.

Vegan French Food - Edit
Nice cozy French restaurant.
Read moreWe had Escargots and Cheese plate as appetizers. It was delicious. Blue cheese was my favorite.
Main courses were Coq au Vin and Escalope de Poulet. Both were good.
Crème Brûlée was about average.
I will go back, want to try more food, it all looked delicious.
Hopefully they won’t forget to bring me a knife this time😄

Wonderful French food in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere - Edit
This was really wonderful French food made available for vegans. We were so happy and wish we could have tried everything on the menu. Standing out for us was the cheese plate: Blue Cheese, Camembert, Gruyere, and a Truffle cheese. We could not believe this was vegan cheese! Also outstanding was the savory crepe, Mr Rabelais.
Read moreThe staff (owners I think) were delightful and shared a lot about the restaurant history and the vegan scene in NYC. I see other reviewers said they were rushed ... we certainly were not. They spent lots of time answering our questions and accommodating specific dietary needs.
Pros: Delicious food, Relaxed atmosphere, Unrushed and friendly service

Disappointed. - Edit
Mediocre food, we ordered the poulet basquaise and tagliatelle (fruit de mer). We were hoping for more whole foods, but the meat substitutes felt like pieces ordered frozen from any Asian market. The "seafood" was rubbery and flavorless, the tagliatelle was lukewarm and clearly boxed pasta. The sauce left a lot to be desired. The "chicken" dish had too much sauce and the vegetables felt overcooked. The food had clearly been cooked in advance, which was disappointing given how this place markets itself as more authentic French cuisine. We were looking forward to this place and ended up looking for other food in the area as soon as we left.
Read morePros: Fully vegan. , Intimate dining area. , Some creative vegan options, such as the cheese.
Cons: Lukewarm food that was obviously cooked in advance, Meat substitutes. , Food quality.

Lives up to the hype - Edit
I had heard Delice & Sarrasin was amazing so was quite excited to finally try it in the new location. I found it a bit off putting at first but once I got past the RED VELVET ROPE (?!) at the entrance and seated, it was much more chill. It did seem to take a very long time for someone to come take our order but after that, all was really great. My dinner date was my friend who had been to the original location and had some ideas of what she thought I should try.
Read moreFor starters we ordered the brie- it was surprisingly delicious, I'd definitely order this again and we got the salmon appetizer which we both thought was fine.
Because we came hungry and knew we wanted to have leftovers we ordered THREE entrees. We had the Coq Au Vin, Boeuf Bourguignon and the seafood pasta, we also requested bread to soak up the yummy sauces in each dish. My favorites were the pasta and the 'chicken'. For me, there was something in the spiced red wine sauce of the 'beef' I didn't love (like nutmeg or cinnamon maybe.)
It's kind of unpleasant reading the French names of some of the dishes, for example I had to get past 'chicken leg' and don't know if I want to order 'foie gras' even a vegan version!
Overall this was an excellent unique dining experience and I will be back!
Pros: Delicious elevated vegan food , Unique vegan dining experience , Chill atmosphere

Ugh I hate it when vegan establishments use dead animal parts names in the menu! Aside from it being unpleasant, I think it also creates some flavor/texture/taste expectations which many times aren’t even met. I think that’s how you have so many carnists saying “vEgAn MEaT is gROss”.

A 1 STAR VEGAN RESTAURANT - Edit
In a nutshell: Good French Vegan food with MEDIOCRE service.
Read moreTHE GOOD
I wanted to make sure I have a special night so I made the reservation on Open Table beforehand. Everything went smoothly reservation's wise and for other than being dropped off at the wrong side of the street, no hiccups no wait, destination has been confirmed and safe landing.
The best is the food period, if you go on a large party or super engaged with your date perhaps you don't perceive or care about other details other than strictly food and in that regard the texture and flavors always meet expectations.
THE BAD
Perhaps they are expecting patrons to be very methodical and know from beginning to end all they want to eat BOOM, and I'm like, can I breath with the menu for a bit? Like, how much time in advance you need to fire up "complicated" dishes? So I ordered the Brie Roti e Fondant Vegetal with Sauvignon Blanc, not a second passed and even before having a chance to taste the appetizer or getting acquainted with the wine I was already asked what I wanted for the main course, I asked for more time and it might be my perception but it wasn't long for the other waiter to ask again what I wanted for my main... Oh great, rushed into making decisions!!!
THE WORST
The transactional and pressured manner to quickly order, ruined what it should had been a beautiful dining experience. I believe people that order take-out from the restaurant are the smartest of the bunch because my dining experience didn't improved with time, it only worsen.
I'm unsure if the tall waiter speaking French was co-owner (logically speaking?) but if he was, either he has no idea what a 5 stars restaurant experience should be like (they're always wearing jeans and t-shirts) so I suppose this is one of those lazy restaurants with lazy underwhelming decor. It is obviously less about the tired casual attire of the waiters, and more about their "We couldn't care less about you, if you leave, another client will take your place" attitude that's really upsetting.
The tagliatelle was lukewarm and compared to other dishes I've had, quite bland in taste. Perhaps adding salt would had save Perhaps adding salt would had saved it but if the Rosé was not able to bring this flavors together... doubt that bothering the waiter for salt wouldn't have been worth it, anyway. The Parissiene crepe paired with Sparkling wine its better on paper than reality.

Very good, but... - Edit
We had the baked brie starter, which was genuinely excellent. The faux duck/gluten with peas, carrots, and a creamy mustard/tarragon sauce (not what it's called on the menu) was also very good as was the beef bourguignon.
Read moreFor dessert we got chocolate mousse, which was really just chocolate pudding. Tasty, but not mousse.
Overall, I enjoyed my meal greatly. BUT as we were paying a couple of young men came in to get a table and the waiter was turning them away. I jumped in to point out we were leaving. The young men were seated and it wasn't a big deal, but it was unkind service. I'm cool with a waiter who is efficient rather than personable, but something about that interaction seemed off.
