Nugget: A plant-based canteen with top-quality superfoods in the 10th arrondissement

"Attention, nugget! For 8 years, this canteen has been making our lunch breaks crazy, it was time for us to reveal the secret to you. On the banks of the canal, Sol Semilla thrills our taste buds with plant-based cuisine, resolutely healthy but incredibly delicious, balanced just as it should be and whose competitive superfoods help us get through the winter."
It was on the charming Rue des Vinaigriers that Sol Semilla opened its doors a decade ago. Initially a superfood shop that quickly became a must-see for any Parisian concerned about their well-being, the premises transformed a few years later into a restaurant that cultivates the art of cooking grocery products in a terribly tasty way. We wouldn't want to swear, but damn, it's so good!
On the menu, each day has its new short and effective menu with a raw plate and the essential large plate where preparations, each more naughty than the last, jostle around — a cereal, a legume, hot vegetables, raw vegetables, a cream and a spirulina caviar.
Everything is lovingly prepared the same morning with the arrivals, no need to choose, everything our little body needs is on the plate and the discovered flavors jostle in the palate. That day, buckwheat risotto with mushrooms, coral lentils with curry and malted yeast, leeks and Chinese cabbage, red cabbage, pumpkin seeds and açai, turmeric millet cream and peanut and carob cream. In short, let yourself be guided, you will love it!
We could leave it there, but how can we not fall under the spell of the super-broth with superfoods (choice of spirulina-ginger, cumin-carob, maca-turmeric) which, mixed with the same preparations of cereals, legumes and hot vegetables of the day, makes a soup that is as comforting as ever and particularly filling — don't be fooled, you might have to unbutton your pants like my +1 was forced to do this afternoon. There are few places that manage to combine balance and always just the right flavors, but Sol Semilla wins its bet hands down. A word of advice, go through the door hungry. Love at first sight.
