Bon et copieux!

Une adresse sympa a deux pas de la gare d'Austerlitz.
Ne sert qu'à emporter, le temps d'attente est assez court. Vous pouvez vous installer juste a côté sur un banc du jardin des plantes pour profiter d'une délicieuse portion de bobun assez copieuse.

Pros: Rapide , Copieux , Bon

Cons: Un peu cher, Pas de sur place

Huge portion, such a good vegan bobun

The vegan meat alternatives in the bobun were so good! Highly recommend. It was only takeout when I was there.

Super friendly

Decent vegan options, cheap, takeaway only.

They had no vegan dessert on the menu, but somehow they created one for me, and it was very delicious. 😌🤩 Magic!

Plus, they served tea to everyone waiting. Lovely staff!

Pros: Dessert , Tea while waiting , Cheap

Nice fake meats!

Delicious vegan bo bun, especially loved the chicken-like meat. Wish there were more peanuts though!

Vegan bobun is yummy

Grabbed a vegan bobun before getting on a train at Gare d'Austerlitz. Super fast service, and it was really yummy ! The soy meat is really nice😄(it says closed temporarily on happy cow but it's been open again since September, take away only I think)

Tastiest fake meat ever

I came here twice last year and since then I have DREAMED of eating the bobun vegan again, I kid you not.
Recently came back to fullfill my literal dreams and it's every bit as good as I remembered.
I would say that the only two vegan options are a deal breaker if the bobun wasn't everything you would ever need.
Sadly they only deliver for now, but my faith for the bobun vegan does not waver and I shall remain their most faithfull client through and through, such is the tastiness of said Bobun.

Pros: Tasty as heck, Affordable

Cons: Only delivery's

Lovely place

(Español abajo)
Fresh and tasty food. The fake meat is incredible. Friendly staff. Super quick service. Ate two courses and out the door within 45 mins.

Comida muy rica y fresca. La carne vegana es bárbara. El servicio es súper amable y rápido- comí dos platos y pague la cuenta adentro de 45 minutos.

Un incontournable

(english below)
Je suis allée diner chez pause bobun à plusieurs reprises et je trouve cet endroit incroyable. C'est petit, donc le mieux est de réserver, et les tables sont serrées les unes aux autres ; on ne vient pas forcément pour le cadre. Mais la nourriture est merveilleuse ! Plusieurs options véganes sont à la carte, mais j'ai toujours pris le bobun. Il est composé de plusieurs brochettes de simili carnés, bien travaillées, avec plusieurs textures et beaucoup de goût. Les légumes et les nouilles sont également très bons, idem pour la sauce. Le service est très professionnel et rapide. Le seul dessert vegan, la crème de tapioca et lait de coco, est délicieuse. En plus, les prix sont très raisonnables pour Paris ; 11.5€ le bobun, 2.5€ le dessert. Je recommande vivement !

EN:
I've been to Pause bobun quite a few times now and I love this place. It's very small and the tables are closed to one another so you don't really go there for the setting. But the food is so good! There is a few vegan options but I always take the bobun. It comes with fake meat which is really flavoured and tasty. The noodles and veggies are also very good. The only vegan dessert is a tapioca cream with coconut milk and is delicious too. Prices are also quite low for Paris : 11.5€ for the bobun and 2.5€ for the dessert. 100% recommend !

Pros: Tasty food, Friendly staff, Cheap

Cons: Not a cosy place, Often crowded

Maravilloso menú vegano

Si estas en París tienes que probar el menú vegano de este pequeño restaurante vietnamita. Sorprendente y riquísimo. La ensalada de papaya es deliciosa. El bobun llevaba unas brochetas de carne de soja por las que desearas volver. Y el postre de tapioca es refrescante y el perfecto final. Ojalá pueda volver😍😍😍

Pros: Deliciosa comida casera

Cons: Pequeño, ir pronto o reservar

Amazing vegan food!

Although not a vegan or veggie restaurant. Their small vegan menu is outstanding the Vegan BoBun Special is up there with one of the best vegan meals we’ve had (we’re a couple who travel A LOT and explore lots of vegan food everywhere we go). Best vegan Vietnamese food I’ve ever had for sure! 100% recommend and the staff are super friendly and helpful too! So good we went two nights in a row.

Pros: Exceptional vegan options (fee but they’re epic!), Super friendly staff, Good value for money and good size portions.

Cons: Small space (not a con - just worth considering)

Delicious!

Tiny place, full of character, and the vegan options are clearly signalled. I have been a couple of times, and both times it has been packed (if you can’t get a table, they do take away, so you could take your Vietnamese to the neighbouring Jardin des Plantes if the weather is nice). I had the green papaya salad, which was intensely flavourful and more substantial than I was expecting, and the vegan bòbún which was likewise utterly packed with fresh flavours. The food arrived quickly, and the staff were friendly and polite despite clearly being very busy. I have been recommending it wherever I go - one of my favourite spots for vegan food so far in Paris!

Pros: Delicious, Clearly marked vegan options

Cons: Gets very busy, so can be hard to get a table

Perfection!

Popped in to Pause Bobun while waiting for a train, and had the most delicious meal. Got a papaya salad and vegan bobun, and the salad was so good it was gone in a flash. Loved the cosy atmosphere and the staff were lovely too.

Pros: Amazing food, Value for money, Nice family vibe

Good location

We were really happy to find this little restaurant with vegan options upon arriving at gare St Lazare. It's a two minute walk from there.
It's closed on Saturday nights and Sundays.
The staff was very friendly, I was just a bit disappointed that they were out of the veggie stew that day.
The vegan bobun was very good though!

Great! Will go again!

I went to this place with an omni friend. I couldn't find the vegan menu at first so I ask the staff which was really nice and helpful. It looks like they're used to welcoming vegans. I noticed only later they have a specific blackboard where they list vegan options.

I ordered the papaya and "shitake jerky" starter and then the vegan bo bun. It was really good and filling (I am a very big eater). There were two other options I think but I can't exactly remember.

Please note that the previous comment is probably is a outdated. I paid 15.5€ for my meal and the bo bun alone is at 11€. But it was definitely worth it in my opinion.

It also looks like a small place so you might want to take a reservation if you want to be sure to eat there.

Pros: specific menu with vegan options, filling, tasty

Fantastic vegan bo bun!

This Vietnamese restaurant offers specifically a vegan bo bun and some vegan desserts. The bo bun is accompanied with vegan skewers and is really tasty. The portion size is fair and the price very low in comparison to food quality (8,5 euros for the dish). As a dessert, you can have a banana che (tapioca, coconut milk, peanut and banana) which is vegan. The owner is friendly and the location is convenient when you need to take a train at Austerlitz. I recommend this place to eat great Vietnamese food!

Pros: vegan options, excellent bo bun, friendly staff, central, good value for money

Cons: small if crowded

Bo Buuuunnnn !


Pause Bobun a ouvert ses portes très recemment, mais il est déjà prêt à accueillir les veganes de passage à Paris !
Situé à deux pas de la gare d’Austerlitz, ce petit restaurant familial propose entre autres spécialités vietnamiennes traditionnelles, un bobun végane, frais et copieux, une cassolette végétale de légumes mijotés au tofu servis avec du riz, et une salade de papaye au champignons façon « beek jerky ».
Je n’ai goûté que le BoBun qui est servi avec une sorte de tempura de tofu à la place des nems, et un dessert à la banane.

Pause Bobun has opened a few weeks ago, but it already has some vegan options for those lost in the area.
Austerlitz train station very close, so you can order a vegan bobul to take away before you hop on your train !
The restaurant also suggests a vegetable cassolette with fried tofu, and a papaya salad served with “beef jerky” styled mushrooms.
Among the sweets, I have only tried the hot banana/coconut milk and jelly cream.
