Great quality vegan food

Delicious vegan French food. I had the seitan which was really tasty and well presented. I'm not normally one for desserts but the creme caramel blew me away. The menu is only in French but the staff are very friendly and happy to speak English. Evening bookings are for 7 or 9pm and you can book online. Would definitely go there again - I think this was my fave restaurant during our time in Lyon and Paris.

Pros: Authentic vegan food, Good value for money, Nice atmosphere and staff

Cons: Menu only in French (though not really a problem)

Delicious and friendly

This restaurant is rather small and very popular so a reservation is highly recomended. The selection is quite small but it keeps changing and everything I tasted was very delicious! The prices are fair, and the staff is friendly, creating a nice atmosphere.

Un régal !

On s'est régalés ! Nous étions déjà venus il y a quelques années. Et nous avons profité de notre passage sur Lyon pour y retourner. Tout est parfait, relevé et assaisonné comme il faut. Les assiettes colorées. Et le personnel très agréable. On y retournera encore et on recommande !

Pros: Plats délicieux , Menu qui change régulièrement , Personnel agréable

Excellent repas!

Couleurs, saveurs, textures, goûts : tout est recherché avec précision chez Like an elephant. La déco pro-végane et très humoristique rajoute une note personnelle et accueillante.

Also the people working there are very friendly, I just love going there

Amazing vegan 3 course meal💓

We had an amazing 3 course meal at Like An Elephant. The food was really good, the flavours were just amazing. It was for sure one of the most delicious meals we’ve had and definitely worth the money. Like An Elephant is a perfect place for someone looking for a vegan fine dining experience

Pros: Fully vegan place, Amazing food

Delicious

We ate here on a Friday night. Price is good, 26€ for an entry main dish dessert. Had the lentil hummus dish to start, then the seitan tofu roll with cauliflower purée and brussel sprouts and the lemon tart. Everything was delicious. Tasted the soy TSP dish also, it was good, but the seitan was amazing. The staff was very welcoming.

Pros: Delicious food, Welcoming staff

Very nice vegan meal

Fully vegan menu. 2-3 options per course. Excellent starter and main course. Sightly disappointed with deconstructed lemon tart but overall excellent. Good value for 2 or 3 courses. Lots of bread provided. Good drink options. Hilly walk up to the restaurant from the main part of Lyon but then an easy walk down. Definitely worth a visit.

Super expérience

Petite carte (toujours bon signe) avec des ingrédients de saison, cuisine légère mais qui remplit bien, colorée avec de bonnes associations de saveurs, et excellents desserts.
Le serveur était adorable et l’ambiance très chouette, avec du rock/métal en fond ;)
(Regardez les cadres et les décos !!)

Pros: Très chaleureux , Cuisine savoureuse et de saison, Service rapide

Cons: Peu accessible pour mobilité réduite

Tiny place with superb food!

Do not fail to get the three course meal! We left overfull but full of deliciousness! The savory pana cotta is next level!!! The seitan was perfectly done with a nice sauce too. The banana bread!

Pros: All vegan!, Great staff with attention to detail, Really quality, healthy food…haute cuisine végane

Cons: The hill climb to the restaurant

Big disappointed

A very expensive place that is not worth the money. The dishes may look fancy but the tast is poor , especially the burger, a very regular lentil burger that cost 15 euro....

Pros: Everything is vegan , The staff where super nice and friendly.

Worth the hike up the mountain

The food was amazing, creative and full of flavor, even though the portions are quite small. We also enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant but is is very small, so be sure to make a reservation. Also there was only one waiter on a fully booked evening and he surely did his best, yet, expect some waiting time.

Incredible! Can't wait to come back

This place BLEW my mind!! The vegan cheeses were so so so delicious, appetizer was creative, and the Thai curry is one of the best I've ever had. Dessert was amazing too. Can't wait to come back!

Pros: Flavorful & creative, Vegan cheeses ("flomages") were incredible
