Quite conceptual restaurant, based on fermented products, or prepared at a maximum temperature of 42 degrees.
The flavors are not bad, but the dishes are difficult to digest afterwards (especially the kale in the evening!).
The atmosphere in the room was quite cold because there were few customers, so very quiet.
Positive point, everything is lactose and gluten free.
For dessert, the base of the cheesecake was not pleasant, there may have been a problem with the fermentation of the seeds which made up the base, and this gave a very strong and unpleasant taste.
The server was very friendly and attentive!
Quiet and casual brunch restaurant between Gare du Nord and Montmartre. The menu gives you many good options including gluten-free variations. The space is modern and comfortable, and there's also exterior seating - accommodating for a breakfast, a chat over a coffee or remote working.
The pancakes were nice and fluffy and not too sweet. I appreciated that the maple syrup came on the side for me to portion it out myself. The breakfast sandwich was good as well!
Last but not least, the staff was super friendly! Would definitely come back next time I'm nearby!
Delicious! Everything is fresh and delicious, the Mediterranean salad is refreshing with a perfect blend of fruits and raw vegetables. The cashew cheese adds a creamy touch that pairs perfectly with this dish. The gluten-free pasta was also excellent!

We went to the Ismail restaurant three times during our stay in Paris. We found out about this restaurant because it offers gluten-free options. There is a wide selection of gluten-free options. The food is without exception excellent and highly recommended. The owners were very nice and accommodating. Reservations are easy to make online and are recommended.
We ordered two very delicious and cost-effective lunches: the pumpkin soup and boiled shells in soup for the starter were very delicious, and the sea bass for the main course had crispy skin and tender meat, and the beef was also tender and gluten-free. We also added a piece of duck liver as an appetizer, paired with 2 glasses of red wine, and enjoyed the French wine and food.
The service is incredible, but the food isn't worth it.
I went for brunch with friends and we ordered shakshouka, a banana bread. Being gluten-intolerant, I chose the only savory gluten-free option on the menu: the congee. I was extremely disappointed with my dish. It was flavorless and uninteresting.
We also ordered an activated charcoal latte, which was delicious.
At the end of the meal, I was still hungry and ordered the pancake. It looked beautiful, but for an establishment that promotes healthy eating, it would be wise to offer a gluten-free bread option.
The waiters, on the other hand, are extremely friendly, attentive, and professional. It's probably the best service I've received in Paris. I really hope they improve their menu.
~ The congee I ordered came with only shiitake mushrooms, without any other add-ins or protein. This makes the dish very simple and uninteresting, especially for brunch. Traditional congee is usually served with various side dishes that enrich the flavor and add more texture. At 16 euros, this minimalist version is disappointing and doesn't justify the price. ~
A wonderful evening with the wine, food and service all excellent. We have a gluten free / celiac in the party and they were very careful and helpful. Would recommend
