Great food, friendly service

I had the Bourguignon de Seitan and au gratin potatoes … both were delicious! I had the chocolate cake with chestnut flour and vanilla custard (Moelleux au chocolat) for dessert … it was also amazing!

Delicious Bourguignon

The bourguignon was very tasty. The taste and texture of the seitan was great. Good portion size too. Highly recommend.

Au top !

Tout. Le cadre typiquement parisien, les plats végétaliens qui revisitent les plats traditionnels français en version végétale, leur bourguignon est à tomber.
Par contre, il faut prendre rendez-vous car c'est toujours plein. Le service est super.

Pros: La nourriture , Le service , Le cadre

Cons: Il faut prendre rendez-vous , Un petit peu cher

Vegan French cuisine

Very friendly staff, they were smiling and kind even if the restaurant was very busy and found me a spot even without having booked (I recommend to do it in advance if you don't want to wait or be disappointed!)

I had la soupe à l'oignon et rôti de seitan avec la sauce au poivre et pommes de terre.

Everything was really good! It's such a shame that I didn't have space for dessert!

Pros: Traditional cuisine, Friendly staff, Tasty food

Cenetta super 🤍🌿

Mi è piaciuto così tanto che volevo tornarci già il giorno dopo 🤍

Consiglio di provare come piatto principale la "cassoulet de la mer gratinée aux noisettes". L'ho adorata! 😍
E come dessert, il crumble ai frutti rossi ❤️

È stata una cenetta buonissima 🌿

all vegan restaurant

the salad was fresh and tasty, but the lasagna was overcooked and too salty for my taste.

Visit with a friend

I had the French onion soup and pate as I wanted to try some traditional cuisine.
My friend said the French soup tasted traditional - I wasn’t a massive fan as it was vinigary.
The pate seemed to lack flavour - the tinned one I buy tasted better.
However the cream brûlée was beautiful and light.

Lovely food. High quality ingredients.

We had garden salad and potato to start followed by seitan bourginion and fried vegetables with smoked tofu. Vegetables were excellent quality. Pesto was beautiful. Smoked tofu was fantastic. I loved the seitan with gratin.

Soupe à l'oignon vegan

Je rêvais de pouvoir manger un jour une soupe à l’oignon vegan, c’est désormais chose faite! Elle était excellente et copieuse, on ressort sans avoir faim. Attention il vaut mieux réserver le week-end car l’endroit est vite victime de son succès!

Awesome french cuisine

We really wanted to try some traditional french food during our Paris trip, so we were very happy to have found Le Potager du Marais.
Everything is vegan. We had the French Onion Soup (my husbands favorite, but could have been a bit spicier for me), the Seitan Stew with red wine and mushrooms (very good), the fried vegetable with smoked tofu (pretty good) and the Creme Brulee (pretty good). The staff was very nice as well.

Best meal we had in paris

This place is so cute. What a gem. We shared the French onion soup and what ever “cheese” they put on top was amazing. I got the crepe and it had a side salad that I loved, Ian’s the crepe was delicious. My husband got the Saipan and he loved it. I got the creame Brulle for dessert and I haven’t had that in years because it’s not vegan usually and I was so happy to have this after so many years. The food felt clean and healthy, and I can’t say enough about the owner. He was so passionate about his food and what he was providing to have French food available to everyone.

Pros: Fresh typical French food

Mediocre food, good service

Everyone says this is a must try vegan restaurant in Paris, but it was one of my least favorites. The onion soup was very salty and the gluten free bread in it was mushy. The gluten free galette entree was bland. The crème brûlée was delicious, and the service was excellent. Too bad the food was mediocre.

Traditional French dishes

We had the Bourguignon and the Seitan roast with pepper sauce. Both was good and something special that you can't get everywhere and which requires effort to prepare. If it wouldn't have been for the Creme Brulee that was burnt too much in some places and otherwise also didn't taste like Creme Brulee we would have given 5 stars.
The waiter was alone so there was a bit of extra waiting time however he did a great job and was very friendly.

Pros: extraordinary vegan food, friendly service, appealing interior

Cons: Reservation only possible by phone or e-mail

10/10 french onion soup

Fantastic food and great place to try all good examples of french cuisine fully veganised. The french onion soup especially was excellent, and the staff were all lovely and friendly. A bit costly but worth it

Could be better

This is my first visit to Le Potager since it moved from its small but cheerful place near the Pompidou Centre. The venue is certainly better, more spacious and more like a restaurant. As others have said, the idea is to provide vegan versions of a few classics from French cookery.

We visited on a Thursday evening in early April. The place was around 2/3 full as people left, others arrived so it was fairly busy. Despite that, there was only one member of serving staff. She was ultra efficient but perhaps rather curt. It would not be correct to say that she was unfriendly, but a smile goes a long way and there were none of those. Perhaps she was just too busy.

The food is all vegan - I had the soup of the day, which was fine: tasty if a little grainy, and my wife had a salad. The main courses were disappointing: my blanquette was OK but the potato Dauphinoise was dry and the plate was crying out for something green and fresh but the other vegetables were mashed carrots and parsnips. My wife had seitan en croute but, again, it was dry with the same accompaniments as my dish, so that everything was the same colour and texture. It was not that the food was bad - we ate it all - but there was no joy in the eating. Desserts were OK.

On the plus side, it's a nice place, everything is vegan, there is no piped music. But a restaurant is predominantly for the pleasure of eating rather than simply filling oneself. I think things could be much better with a little more variety on the menu, more thoughtful presentation and a better choice of vegetables.

Pros: All vegan, Pleasant space, Efficient service

Nice food and service

Had dinner on a Sunday night here. The dishes are quite rustic. I tried the onion soup, mushroom pate, crepes sarassin (buckwheat pancakes) and chocolate cake. Everything was good but not outstanding or exciting. On the plus side the waiters were very friendly and put up with my attempts at French. Reservations are required or you'll have to wait for the later seating.

Pros: Nice traditional french food, Great service

Cons: Food could be more seasoned

Low quality cooking

Nice place and nice service but cantine style food. The cooking is really bad unfortunately. Had the bœuf bourguignon and it was horrendously expensive, no vegetables in the sauce, no acidity, not cooked with red wine. Had nothing to do with the dish. Can’t really recommend.

Pros: Nice place, Nice to waiters

Cons: Bad cooking, Overpriced

Le Potager du marais

Really enjoyed the food here. French dishes with a vegan twist which is rare to find in France. The potato gratin was excellent. Friendly service and quality food. Strange that no music was playing which led to a rather somber atmosphere. Would definitely recommend however.

Pros: Quality of food, Service , Fairly central

Cons: Lack of atmosphere (no music)

Interesting french dishes in a vegan version. Pomme de terre rotie and bourguignon de seitan were delicious, not satisfied with the onion soup. Worth to try!

Grande salle spacieuse et bien décorée, ambiance cosy et tranquille pour déjeuner le dimanche. La nourriture est délicieuse, le serveur très sympa. Je reviendrai pour tester un dessert, je n'avais pas le temps cette fois ci 😀

Great food!

4.5! Had some lovely vegan bourguignon and creme brulee, it was great to be able to eat some French classics. The staff was nice. The only thing is they there’s no soft music or something, so I felt like I had to whisper all the time. But great experience over all.

Pros: Great food, Nice staff, Interesting menu

Cons: Harsh lighting, No music
