About

Cantine de Lotus is a vegetarian Asian restaurant in the heart of Paris's 2nd arrondissement. Founded by two Buddhist partners, this establishment celebrates plant-based cuisine inspired by South Asian flavors. All dishes are homemade using exclusively vegetable-based ingredients, featuring remarkably convincing meat alternatives. The restaurant's specialty is its 11 varieties of bento boxes, complemented by vegetable spring rolls, vegan miso soups, and pad-thai. The simple yet elegant décor, adorned with plants and flowers, creates a zen and peaceful atmosphere. Service is quick and attentive. Homemade desserts include chilled mochi and excellent house-made bubble tea. Operating without reservations, the restaurant offers excellent value for money.
