Fresh falafels

These 2 small restaurants are some of the first vegan restaurants in Paris. They serve delicious fresh falafels and hummus.

Cheap and super tasty

unlimited toppings were a huge advantage
the option with aubergine is a bit too oily tho
and if you order one with both aubergine and falafels then this is going to be a big portion (I wouldn't be able finish it)

Great falafel store!

Really nice little place. Super central convenient location and you can have as much or as little as you want as it’s self serve. It’s perhaps a little pricey and not the best salad in the world but for what it is it’s great and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Definitely add the hummus and aubergine

After just having just falafel pita at the other branch, I added hummus and aubergine at this and it was definitely worth it! A slightly larger branch with seating.

Ok not great

This is a fast-food counter. You get the falafel and slather on whatever tickles your fancy from the wide array of veggies and sauces. The falafel was dry (by itself) and bland. Slathering is therefore recommended …

Pros: Price, Service, speed, Options to add to it

Cons: Dry falafel, Bread was hard, May not be pristine clean

Best falafel I ever eaten

The pictures doesn’t justify how good it was. The falafel was really crispy but not dry at all.

Wenn es schnell gehen muss

Beim Pita könnt ihr neben den Falafel zusätzlich noch Hummus sowie gebratene Aubergine wählen, anschließend kann das Pita mit dem Gemüse selbst befüllt werden. Geschmacklich war es voll in Ordnung.

Pros: Schnell zubereitet

Delicious take out

Absolutely great food, the falafels were delicious. We took the food to go and ate it along the Seine, it was great. The spicy sauce were great, I enjoyed the green one a lot (the spiciest).

Pros: Friendly staff

Nice quick falafel and salad

I loved dining at this small eatery and takeaway place in the heart of the 'Latin quarter' in Paris. I had falafel in pita with my choice of toppings to add. It was delicious and the price was cheap by Paris standards. The server spoke good English and was very friendly. I also appreciated having a little area inside to sit and eat. Do try this place for a quick, cheap, and healthy meal.

Pros: Reasonably priced, fast and friendly service, choose your own toppings

Cheap and easy

We had two falafel menus and got a lot of food for little money. The falafel are tasty, not the best I ever had but enjoyable. It's nice that you can choose your own toppings but also risky if you don't know what to expect. The fries were very good

Pros: Great value for money, Good fries, Quick and easy

Cons: Tomatoes with cilantro

Excellent falafel wraps

Had a great wrap with falafels and veggies and sauces… all vegan… everything at this small eatery is vegan… better to take out than sit there as there is very little place and that too uncomfortable… but a great find…

Pros: Falafel , Tahini sauce

Quick snack

The falafel are crispy, the bread fluffy.

You can add the salad by self-service. This may be a cost-cutting measure, but it takes the load off the workers and also gives the customer the opportunity to put together their own selection.

Disappointed

I was disappointed by the taste of my falafel wrap. The falafel didn't have much flavor. The tahini sauce was not like any I've had before and wasn't particularly tasty. In a pinch, perhaps this would do. But if you have other options, I would just skip this.

Pros: You get to add your own toppings., Located in the heart of the restaurant/bar area., Near tourist sites. 4th

Cons: Not particularly flavorful.

Convenient but not the best

It was convenient to find something labelled vegan to eat by the river but it wasn't very tasty. Dry falafel, unsalted fries. I'd only go there if I needed to.

Alright but not fabulous

It’s a classical fast food service but the food is not extremely tasty. If you are in a hurry and want to grab something it’s alright but other than that is ok-ish.

Pros: Great location , Affordable

Cons: Limited fresh options from the salad bar

Vegan Food in the heart of Paris

I ate there a falafel doner and the cool thing there is, that at first you getting a very hot and delicious falafel in the bread and after that you can choose at yourself and put the vegetables in the bread, which are on the front.

And it's very close to the Notre-Dame and many other small streets where are food locations.

Pros: Choose vegetables at yourself, very hot and delicious, a quite place

Budget Food w/ lots of veggies

The concept is basic but so much better. You pick a wrap with falafel or eggplant l. You can add all the fillings of veggies and sauces to it. Pro tip: remove 2 to 3 the falafel balls and add all the veggies. Top the pocket pita with the remaining falafel balls after. Don't forget the white sauce
