This is my least favourite option when seated. I understand why they do that for one person, but it can be awkward and I was in the back corner very close to a table. To say my descent was awkward would be an understatement. Anyway I ordered the plate of the day (curry, rice, peanut sauce, mushrooms, fried plantain, okra) It was nice, but there was a lot of rice. Way too much for one person in my opinion. I really liked the okra. The drink I had was nice and the staff were lovely. Updated from previous review on 2023-03-21

The place is in a quiet pedestrian street, outdoor seating is possible but at lunchtime, it's quickly full with businesses around! The cuisine is organic, vegan, homemade, local and seasonal, it starts very well. The atmosphere in the kitchen is particularly pleasant, you can feel the involvement of the brigade in the dishes, it smells of professionalism and team spirit in a good mood. We are served by very original dishes, succulent and hearty. As a starter, we took cauliflower wings (very pleasant in the mouth) and mishikos (maki breaded with marinated carrots that melt in your mouth). In mains, I fell for a carlita, focaccia with red onion, aubergines and roasted zucchini, lots of good things on the plate, which really hold. The burger of the day was a bun with a chickpea pancake, with roast mirabelle apples. A hearty and delicious dish that deserves a detour. For dessert, I took light, a moon, vegetable bite, dark chocolate shell, pink pistachio ganache! and I was able to taste the strawberry hibiscus dome, a light delight that melts in the mouth. Even the butchers right next door eat there very often, that is to say!!! In short, a place that is well-established, welcoming and that appeals to the surrounding area with its atmosphere, its colorful, gourmet and homemade cuisine!

As there is no carpark available and I gave a class, they said I could Park just next to the Security and main entrance. I thanked them for their help! Later when I went Back home another security guard was VERY unfriendly and started to tell me in a very agressive way that this is the first and last time I can Park there. That his collègue made a mistake (so that is my fault? and that it is the last time I park there. People are so unfriendly in Paris, I don't even understand what makes them so unhappy! not a nice experience and a man who does not well his job because of him, I will never come back. also the woman who worked with him (she speaks arabic and french was very unfriendly as I wanted to bring some food inside because the restaurant was closed and there was only pizza or kebab. as a diabetic I don't eat this. I really needed food becaus I had a hypoglycemia. I even showed her my ibsuline pump and my values in deep red. i was shaking because of the lack of sugar. she did not want to let me in. these people should get a class in human relations and how to help people in need! shame on them! horrible
