| - The place offers direct competition to Crudescence next door, but their styles are different: Crudescence is a sit-down and order type of deal, La Panthère verte is more casual, and serves warm stuff. Honestly I'm not sure whether they are vegan or vegetarian, but they are delicious for sure! I was a bit hesitant to try them out ("really?! I've had falafel before.."), but I was hangry.
The place is small/cramped. Someone comes in with their bike and you might just have to order to go. A downside is the design of the place: if you are unlucky, you might sit at a table right in front of the door, if there's a draft you'll be chasing your meal all over.
The big rush starts at 12:30 so come early if you want a table! I got a falafusion and a medium hummus side. The cashier seemed a bit surprised, and I get quickly got why: those sides are massive! A medium hummus can easily be shared between two since it includes a full hummus plate and pita bread. The falafels come warm, in cute little baskets. They are a bit on the small side (I got the half), but very filling and tasteful. Feel free to chat with the cooks, and sample some bites! I'd love to come back and try the full-sizes (and maybe a mason jar of smoothie if they weren't so expensive).
