(There are some other coffee shops in Paris that are similar in style, but if you *don't* eat animals and their secretions, any time you go to one of those "cool type" shops you have to settle for just a cuppa.) No! Us vegans want something to EAT, by jove. Thank God for Grounded. Everything is delicious and creatively presented, the hot chocolate is actually made with melted dark chocolate (um, SO GOOD,) and their menu is always evolving with the seasons. AMAZING food, guys. I'll be back -- hungry -- for more of their savory fare.

I made sure to scope out some great vegan spots before I visited Paris, and I can definitely say…read moreI'm glad I put this place on the list of restaurants to eat at! The two items we ordered were both SO good. We ordered some sort of toast that has almond butter, hazelnut butter, jam, and coconut flakes. It had the perfect amount of sweetness to satisfy a slight morning sweet tooth. The other item we ordered was the bowl of the month (or maybe it's the bowl of the week?) It, too, was wonderful, and so filling! Grounded is really cute and cozy inside, but I will say that it was HOT in this small space. Also, there isn't much seating in here. Maybe enough for 12-15 people. Still, the food here is incredible and the man working at the counter was so kind. Definitely stop in here if you can!

Ordered: Croissant (~€2)…read morePain au Chocolat (~€3) Chausson aux Pommes (~€3) Madeleine Glacée (~€2) Baguette (~€2) Aya's take: Blé Sucré is another bakery that is highly recommended and I had to make it my last stop before leaving Paris! I got a few pastries and it was still early enough that they were still warm! The Croissant was probably the best I had on this trip. It helped that the Croissant was fresh and warm, but it was also crispy on the outside and buttery & flaky on the inside. The Pain au Chocolat was also great but it could have used more chocolate for my liking. The Chausson aux Pommes was sweet, slightly acidic from the apples, and definitely heavier of the pastries. I've also never had fresh madeleines before and knew this would be the place to try them. The Madeleine Glacée were buttery and lightly sweet; these actually go so well with a cup of coffee or just a bite if you need a quick snack. All in all, great try!

I ADORE this place. The food is really good and their specials change very often, so you can go…read morethere often and not have the same dish all the time. The service is incredible. Every single person is sweet and knows what they're talking about. They eat their own food and you can tell as you can ask if the special is good and they will be brutally honest with it The ambiance is typically French neighborhood-style bistro! People are nice and can talk to each other. The crowd is a mix of people visiting and people living in the neighborhood like me who go there on a weekly basis to have a nice warm meal that stays affordable and with a nice service. I highly recommend this place.

The duck confit was a little salty but very tasty. The beef tartare might not be everybody because it is raw meat and can be slimy for some people. However I loved it, and I think anyone who comes to France should definitely give it a shot here. Again it's a primer at an affordable price. Inside is nice and quaint. The waitress didn't really speak a lot English but she's really nice and tried her best. We got what we needed as we exchanged my broken French and her basic English. They take cash and card.

Le Cosy has great energy both inside & on the outside patio. It definitely feels like a locals spot. Started off with a nice chilled glass of Rose wine that was nicely balanced. Perfect for a warm evening. Then I highly enjoyed the grilled fish, with asparagus risotto, served with warm French bread. The meal was simple but delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly & the asparagus risotto was creamy but not heavy. The risotto was unique because it was made with couscous & not rice. The service was mediocre. Probably doesn't help I don't speak French and a few people were smoking around me as I was trying to enjoy this wonderful food.

We read nice brunch reviews about a restaurant nearby "Chez Troquette" called "L'Artiste" but since…read moreit was fully booked we ended up at the "Chez Troquette". It was a really good experience. Warm welcomed by the two waiters (I suppose as well owners and brothers) and we got a nice table by the window. We decided to have brunch there, which is served not in buffet from but it will be brought to your table in a mixed plate. It contains scrambled eggs with your choice of bacon, chicken or salmon, grilled vegetable, salad, fruit salad, fresh plain yoghurt, row ham, hard cheese, goat cheese, pan cake, mini chocolate cake, madeleine, basket of fresh baguette, butter and homemade jam accompanied by a hot drink and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice. All the products offered were really tasteful and of high quality. Everything seems to be homemade and with love. A nice surprise was the mini chocolate cake: still warm and with a soft chocolate cream inside. The homemade jam was delicious and with a lot of fruit pieces inside. Service friendly and attentive. The only critical point the size of the table: a little bit too small to contain all the food and drinks brought. Overall a really great experience. I deeply recommend to try.

Even though the cashier doesn't speak English she was very nice and patience with us. Lots of seating area and couches. More seating area in the basement(downstairs). You can sit for as long as you want. We sat for 3 hours waiting for our flight and they didn't kick us out. I think this place only takes cash cause when I pulled out my card to pay the cashier said something in French that I couldn't understand. Luckily my husband had some euros left and she seems to approve of it. Pro: Wifi & clean restroom, nice customer service, great coffee and lots of seating areas &CHARGING STATION!

I had the fish and chips - the fish was so thin and did not attach to the coating very well so it just fell apart, and the salad that came with it was so oily that my mouth was coated after just a few bites.
