Cantine Vagabonde

The Cantine is easy to find on the rue d 'Aubervillers, a few blocks south of the urban park Jardins d 'Eole a block or two north of the Stalingrad metro station. The chalkboard menu lists two vegetarian main courses, appetizer, dessert, wine, ginger beer , coffee and other non- alcoholic beverages in a homey ground-floor setting. There are wooden tables inside, and a few cafe tables outside.The set meals are a good deal (a formule including appetizer, main dessert, or other combos such as appetizer main, or main dessert , the waitstaff is welcoming and the atmosphere is unpretentious . We arrived shortly before lunch service ended at 2:30PM, but were able to get a meal, though some some dishes were sold out. Our lentil salad platter and felafel with green salad were tasty and fresh. We didn 't feel pressured to order or eat quickly and were served promptly with a smile. Some staff are English speaking, if that 's needed. Credit cards OK. It 's a short walk to the picturesque Canal de l 'Ourcq.

Very close to the Stalingrad Metro stop in the 18th arrondissement, the Cantine Vagabonde offers a moderately priced lunch that is both vegetarian and delicious. My wife and I ate here after finding the tofu restaurant we were looking for was closed for summer vacation. It was a fortunate find. I had a lentil and bulgur salad with a tahini dressing, carrots, beets and a few other veggies, for 11€. It was a reasonably generous serving. My wife had sweet potato falafels and a very good, ample salad, for the same price. There are lunch specials too, two course meals for roughly 14€ and three courses for 18€. There's a web site, so you can easily find precise directions for getting there and dining hours. If you don't speak French, English is spoken. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the light filled room is attractive. Enjoy!

After walking a bit too much, I came upon this place and, because I was too hungry to wait no more I entered, seduced by the interior decoration the crowd inside. I was rapidly seated, because I was on my own. But as many have said before, the place seems to be quickly busy so better to arrive early or to make a reservation. The food was good BUT WAY TO PRICEY FOR WHAT IT WAS. Yes, the salad looked good and was tasty, but it 's just salad : not tofu, no fancy shmancy herbs ... And the fruit salad looked a bit down, too. I paid 15,50€ for the two which i find a bit too much. I know it 's Paris but come on, but a biscuit with that one strawberry ... Service was quite good tho, even if there was a table of 10+.

This place has been a very nice discovery. Dishes are very good and particular. Entree+1 plat+dessert=17€ really worth it
