One of two Vapiano locations at Westfield Les 4 Temps Mall, this is inside the mall and is styled as "Vapiano Bottega" which comes from the Italian word meaning shop/work-shop, this store had a much better menu selection compared to other Vapiano's throughout Paris, although they only offered the typical menu, it is the only location I could find offering risotto. Having had many bad experiences at Vapiano, I'm surprised I gave this another chance as I find in most cases they tend to be bad rather than good, but being hungry in La Defense and wanting something relatively straight-forward, I decided to give this place a chance.
Pretty spacious inside, it had a nice seating area and was clean throughout including the toilets, it was pretty comfortable and the queues weren't too hectic, I ordered my risotto which was seasoned quite well, it has a sweetness too it, which I liked in principle but it easily became a bit too much for my liking.
A shame they don't offer gluten-free pasta/pizza - that only seems to be in certain countries including Germany and the Netherlands, the selection as a whole seemed similar to back home in the UK (the full menu not the reduced one currently on offer)
A-OK. food was nothing special but provided a pretty decent lunch, I do always like the iced teas here though which I went for, especially the peach vanilla. 3* read more
