A curiosity that has remained the prerogative of veggie girls until now , 100% vegan sushi is the new phenomenon in vogue. No offense to compulsive piscivores, sushi 2.0 now replaces fish with vegetables accompanied by colorful condiments or crunchy tempuras . This is the concept used at Bloom , a brand new vegan sushi house located in the 17th bourgeois. We tested the whole map...
The place
Directed by an inspired quartet including the founder of Sushi Shop Dominic Bujold , Bloom is revealed in a solar decor signed StudioLouisMorgan ( Naked Burger , We …). The interior, all in curves and variations of wood and recyclable wool panels, gives this place an atmosphere that combines the sophistication of Japanese culture with the arty Californian vibe that makes everything much cooler!
The avant-garde of vegan sushi
Originally from Mexico, chef Christian Ventura is embarking on a veritable vegan conquest through his original and dazzling food epic. Passionate about yoga , spirituality and Japanese gastronomy , this eclectic figure of modern cuisine dedicates his career to ethical tableware , and inspires a new way of sublimating sushi while preserving the marine ecosystem. Between demanding research, extraordinary know-how and an anthology of master sauce recipes fiercely guarded by the chef, Bloom is now asserting itself as the new table not to be missed.
An ethical and vegetal delight
