SmooVie Grignothèque — Restaurant in Sarlat-la-Canéda

We contacted SmooVie Grignotheque to see if they would be willing and able to cater our small family wedding (15 people). Since our first contact, everything was better than we could have hoped for! Sabine was incredibly kind, thoughtful and easy to communicate with. We had several difficult allergies to accommodate for in addition to everything being vegan and Sabine and her team accepted this challenge with a smile.

The food we had on the wedding day was beyond our expectations. Our family is a mixture of vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores and everyone had something they tried that blew them away. From watermelon sushi, to tofu chicken, to the berry cheesecake, to the kefir drinks, everything was made to perfection in flavor, presentation and portions. We were worried we wouldn’t have enough food after seeing how much our group could consume and in the end, we had leftovers for the next day.

I cannot recommend SmooVie Grignotheque enough! We even had the chance to stop by the restaurant to speak with Sabine ahead of time and loved the meal we ordered and the setting of the garden in the sunshine. This would be a great place to stop if you’re passing through, staying in town, or floating down the river.

Thank you for bringing such great vegan options to France, Sabine! We admire...

What a pleasure to be back at SmooVie. The menu is delicious and amazing as ever.

We had the specials and they now make their own burger buns!!

The water is brought in from a local spring and filtered. That is the level of commitment to quality and taste.

There is more seating in the garden. Come between 12-3 Thursday to Monday and most importantly, come hungry. I suggest skipping breakfast that day.

Be prepared to have your taste buds excited...

This place is a complete surprise in the tiny French village of St Leon. Their small window opens into a world of vegetarian delights. James and Sabina have found their place in the world and gladly share it with you. Sabina is the innovative Austrian cook and James is a New York transplant who can give you the skinny on a range of items from the best hiking trails to the Tibetan teaching spots. Best...
