What you see in the picture above is the legendary burger restaurant’s à la française Gentle Gourmet Cafe which is located at number 24 Blvd de la Bastille in Paris, you know, if you look for an alternative dining experience, or a healthy, or even fanciful , just have a seat. The Gentle Gorumet Cafe is one of the references in the city for the followers and supporters of a vegetarian diet, which is interpreted here with all the French panache; here you will find menus that are consisted of products and organic ingredients. It is a fair-trade, of purely vegetable origin. The packaging is kept to a minimum and the methods of work are undertaken with a certain respect to energy conservation, having said that, let’s move now to the sweet tooth of the matter.
Meanwhile, the location is already worthy of note, the restaurant is located at the Port de l’Arsenal a stone’s throw from the Seine (and Bastille), then you can already put in anticipation before or after déjeuner if you like a scenic walk, which never hurts. Sifting through the Facebook page, you can then taste already with your eyes the dishes on the menu: tartlets with wild berries, fresh fruit smoothies (melon, apple and strawberry, shall we?), Wholemeal baguettes with raw vegetables, vegetable cannelloni with ricotta … but at the Gentle Gourmet you can come just to make one (vegan) breakfast, for example by ordering a classic Café et croissant (4 euro) or a de pain basket with bread, jam and butter vegetable (5 euro). Excellent in principle, the reviews on Trip Advisor, in essence are one of the pit stops to be included in your itinerary in Paris, such as vegetarians.
