Lyon Gourmet vegan - Edit
So delicious! A must-go if you are stopping the light Lyon. We walked ten minutes up a pretty steep hill, which made the food all the better.
Read moreStaff was wonderful and helpful (even as we struggled through our Fr-english 🙃)!
Make a reservation in advance as it can be pretty full, space is pretty low and the patio is a little tight as it is.
25 euro each for a starter main dessert.

Perfect French dinner - Edit
Like an Elephant was one of my culinary highlights during my week in Lyon! Definitely reserve a table in advance, the place will be fully booked for dinner. They have a changing menu with 2 starters, 2 mains, and 2 desserts to choose from. Starter plus main plus dessert costs € 25 which I thought was good value for money. I had an amazing culinary experience there - the food was just perfect!

Parfait !!! - Edit
Un endroit cosy où l’on se sent bien.
Read moreL’accueil est fort sympathique avec une pointe d’humour.
Les mets sont délicieux, les « Saint-Jacques » étaient bluffantes et les assaisonnements sont justes.
On a terminé le repas par deux desserts gourmands mais pas trop sucrés.
Merci pour ce très bon moment, nous aurons plaisir à revenir dès que nous reviendrons à Lyon.

Visita inprescindibel si pasas por Lyon - Edit
Este restaurante fue todo un descubrimiento. Nos encantó en todos los aspectos.
Read moreTienen una amplia variedad de bebidas no alcholicas.
El camarero fue muy símpatico con nosotros, servicio excelente, cercano, paciente, comprensivo...
Tienen una variedad de quesos vegano de la marca "Le petit vegane" que están muy bien logrados, hasta ahora los mejores quesos vegano que hemos probado.
Luego de entrantes yo tenía la crema del día de setas que estava buenísima y mi pareja tenía un entrante frío que la verdad para invierno no pegaba mucho, pero estaba bueno.
De platos principales yo comí el seitan con una verdura con salsa teriyaki, estaá BUENÍSIMO, ME ENCANTO!
Y mi pareja comió la burguer casera con las patats que también le gustó mucho.
De postre probamos la panna cotta, la textura estaba muy muy bien logrado parecía panna cotta de verdad y el sabro también muy bueno.
En general este restaurante de verdad vegano, vegatariano y no veganos, lo recomiendo mucho, estaba todo muy bueno.
Pros: Fresh and healty food, Delicious food, excelent service, 100% vegan and handmade

Proche d’un gastro vegan - Edit
Une expérience gastronomique succulente proche d’un restaurant gastronomique
Read moreSoupe aux girolles chaleureuse et réconfortante
Un roti de seitan et purée de patates douces sux saveurs et texture habilement mariées
Parmentier de tofu et lentilles simple mais généreux et délicats.
Tout petit reproche, la main un peu lourde sur le sel
Pros: Accueil très chaleureux , Cuisine audacieuse et inventive, Peu de choix mais bien élaboré
Cons: Le peu de choix sur la carte, Très légèrement trop salé en général

Très bon repas - Edit
Nous avons dîné ici il y a quelques mois; je m'étais promis de faire une critique et j'ai oublié, eh bien il n'est jamais trop tard.
Read moreC'est simple, notre repas était succulent! Nous étions les seuls dans ce resto en ce début de juin 2018, un soir de semaine. Le service était très cordial, et j'ai aimé la décoration simple, avec quelques slogans discrets "engagés". De retour à Lyon l'été prochain, c'est sûr qu'on va y retourner. Une perle à côté des bouchons innombrables de Lyon (et je ne parle pas de la circulation).

Beautiful cuisine - Edit

Everything was tasty and really great!
The dishes were elaborate.
The staff was super welcoming and nice.
It was a really great experience!
Pros: Great food, Great service

L'un de mes restaurants favoris. - Edit
Très bon restaurant, très agréable et Vegan !
Read moreLa nourriture y est très bonne et certains plats changent souvent, l'accueil et l'ambiance sont très sympa.
Nous y sommes allé plusieurs fois, pour déjeuner ou dîner, et n'avons pas été déçu.
Les plats sont bon et copieux, mais dur de résister aux désserts également ! Les prix me semblent correct.
Il vaut mieux réserver, malgré pas mal de place !

Best vegan food in Lyon - Edit
I realty enjoyed eating there. First of all great service, but they don't speak English very well.They brought us tab water and always refilled it very fast.
Read moreThey give u free bread as well.
The food is [censored] awesome and if u eat a starter too u can be sure u won't go hungry.
But because there are very limited vegan options in lyon and of course because it's so good, u should really reservate otherwise u won't get a table there.
Pros: Great food, Great service
Cons: Expensive , U have to reservate

Excellent menu - Edit
First of all: you really should make a reservation. But our food was superb - reaally delicious.
Read moreAdditionally, it came really quick. The drinks are exceptionally expensive, which, though, is quite normal here in france. The beer selection is quite big.
Moreover, the service was attentive as well as friendly. We were brought bread baskets two times and the free tap water was always refilled really quick.
The starters and desserts are not bigger than they should be when ordering a whole menu - after all 3 plates, we were absolutely satisfied & filled.
Pros: Free tap water, Exceptionally great food, Really special
Cons: Expensive drinks

Tudo estava uma delícia! - Edit
Comemos nesse restaurante ontem a noite. Eu pedi um prato com seitan e polenta e meu namorado o hamburguer do dia, que era de feijão com faux gras. Também pedimos queijos franceses veganos que foram surpreendentes, muito gostosos. A sopa de entrada também estava saborosa. Tudo estava muito muito gostoso. Aprovamos e recomendamos! O atendimento também foi simpático, mas recomendamos reservar um lugar porque quase não conseguimos entrar e vimos pessoas tendo que ir embora pois não tinha mesa disponível.

Disappointed - Edit
The risotto was more like a porridge and the grilled seitan a bit dry. The faux gras and the dish of cheeses as entrees were good though.

Don't miss it ! - Edit
A real vegan restaurant, where you feel comfortable, in a warm atmosphere. The dishes are tasty, sometimes really amazing. The service is very pleasant, efficient and the staff super friendly. The wine and beer list is great ! Excellent value for money. In short, you feel good there, you eat well, without breaking the bank. And...the whole staff is vegan for the animals.

Vegan Restaurant - Edit
The place has no English menu and although the staff knows English it was hard for him to explain all the dishes (he tried but there were a lot of words he couldn't translate). So I just tried to order some things as everything is vegan and the food was good. The pure was excellent by my opinion

Un des meilleurs restos veganes ou j'ai pu manger ! - Edit
Amatrice de bonne bouffe et végane depuis 4ans je teste régulièrement des restos veganes avec mon chéri, et celui ci et un des meilleurs sue l'on ai fait (oui oui, après avoir fait Berlin, Londres, Paris, Turin...) ! De la vraie cuisine, une carte assez petite donc gage de qualité, toujours hyper gourmand et bien assaisonné, du Seitan maison toujours top, et un service impec, le tout dans un joli lieu militant ! Que demander de plus ?? Après une dizaine de passage nous sommes toujours aussi enchanté.e.s !
Read morePros: Délicieux, militant
Cons: ?
