Incroyable - Edit
J’ai adoré la déco du lieu et la musique, j’ai pris à emporter leur burger qui était délicieux mais c’est surtout leurs frites de patate douce qui sont absolument incroyables.

Afro-vegan! - Edit
Excellent little bar/restaurant with a short but inspired menu of Afro-inspired vegan dishes. We really enjoyed the food, the cocktails, the hospitality and the general vibe. Located on one of Montmatre's quieter streets, it is well worth seeking out. Good times await you!

Coup de 💖 pour

* les chips plantain et houmous de haricots (trop bon)
Un lieu vegan et parisien que je ne peux que recommander 🎉

WTF! - Edit
…and I mean that in the best way possible! I was shaking my head in disbelief when experiencing the exotic flavour explosions of their sweet potato tacos with porcini, guacamole and citric confit, the peanut jackfruit pies with tomato sauce and their rich vegan version of chachupa, a traditional stew of Cape Verde. Also the Big Bun SOSO-TÉ, a hamburger with an oyster mushroom coated in breadcrumbs as a patty, was perfection in taste and crunch, accompanied by the best cassava fries I’ve ever had. Last, the French toast interpretation with rhubarb and hibiscus was an excellent sweet finish. They also offer many delightful homemade sauces and lemonades. Happy, familiar vibe, too, plus great value for money.

Excellent Food, Cantankerous Owner - Edit
The food was fabulous. Sadly, the [censored] attitude left so much to be desired. It was ZERO degrees Centigrade outside today, and they wouldn’t let us in 5 minutes before it opened (we had a reservation). They even said we were “wasting their time”.

Good experience after all - Edit
I went there 2 years ago and was disappointed because the food was bland and not spicy at all.
Read moreI wanted to give it another try so I went last week and I’m glad I did. The starter was good and full of flavours. The main dish was good but did not taste like African food (as for me, it tasted like a French dish cooked with red wine). The dessert was delicious.

Oh yes, this was a unique experience... and I've tried many vegan restaurants! Tasty (though slightly heavy), from starters to deserts, very welcoming staff. The home-made ginger juice was a real kick!

Found this when in Montmarte and was lucky enough to get a table. If got very busy within half hr of us arriving! Staff were so friendly (English waitress was lovely and gave my husband birthday shots!) and the food was amazing. I only wish I could have eaten more of it. Highly recommend the platter to share but my advice would be not to share!
