all vegan, all delicious!

went here with three friends on our trip to lyon - staff spoke enough english to help us out. serves alcohol which was nice for those who do drink and some cute non alcoholic drinks for me! has a cute patio outside which would have been really lovely (situated on croix russes hill with a cute view) but we arrived late and had a seat inside which was a little stuffy in the summer heat.

food was delicious! we got the cheese plate - interesting assortment of cheeses, not all to my taste but cool to try regardless and extra bread brought without asking. we got a variety of entrees and an appetizer and they were all delicious and plentiful - everything i tried was excellent! wasn't the cheapest vegan meal i've ever had but in a town like lyon which struggles a bit for vegan options, a fully vegan restaurant is a real gem. take a walk around the park at the top of the hill after your meal and take in the incredible view of lyon!

Pros: friendly staff, delicious food, good size portions

Cons: stuffy in the summer heat, on the pricier side but still worth it!

Great restaurant

Friendly staff and excellent food!
You can tell all the ingredients are fresh and there is passion in the kitchen. They have great non-dairy cheeses, and hand-made desserts.
Also, gluten-free options. The flavors are surprisingly amazing, their parmentier is worth the trip!

Pros: Great staff, Great food, Great place

Good Vegan restaurant

Nous avons mangé en terrasse sur une rue calme et arborée. Le menu est élaboré avec des produits frais et de saison. Cuisine inventive et raffinée. Nous nous sommes régalés. Service très agréable.

The best food we had in Lyon

During our visit to Lyon, this was the place with the most interesting vegan food.

We were lucky to get the new spring menu, and we had the cheese platter, the grilled seitan with sesame, and the parmentier of potatos and lentils. As dessert, we had the lemon tart.
Everything was delicious. The cheeses were fantastic, the mains were very original, and the portions were fair.

The staff was also friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. Highly recommended!

Pros: original menu, nice vibe, good value

Le lieu est sobre, le personnel très agréable, et la nourriture joliment présentée et délicieuse. Le tofu bourguignon et le curry de légumes étaient vraiment bons, et la planche de fromages végétaux incroyable.

Pros: Delicious, Fair Price, Nice atmosphere

Good food, nice people

Perfect restaurant, our one time going out for diner during our vacation in France. Went all out, taking a gazpacho cold soup as a starter, which was yummy with the hot wheather. Grilled seitan as a main, very good! Raspberry cake as desert to top it all of. All was very good, nice variation on the menu and tasted amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful with translations, constantly providing us with tapwater with ice-cubes non-stop, and we were able to sit outside. In one word: great! Definatly go there and see and taste for yourself!

Pros: All vegan, nice creative dishes on the menu

Bon et 100% végétalien

Like an elephant a le mérite de proposer une cuisine véritablement végétalienne et c'est assez rare! La carte est travaillée et les plats sont plutôt joliment présentés.
Les quantité sont un peu juste au regard des prix et l’accueil était assez impersonnel le jour de notre visite alors que nous étions les seuls clients du moment.
Une adresse que je recommande quoi qu'il en soit

Délicieux

Un restaurant totalement vegan qui propose des plats raffinés très bons (au choix : 3 entrées, 4 plats qui changent régulièrement). Les pommes de terre au four servies avec le burger (différent chaque semaine) sont très bonne. J'ai eu l'occasion de goûter une blanquette à base de protéines de soja, champignons et carottes servie avec du riz noir et des légumes croquants et c'était bluffant ! Un résultat très réussi en goût mais qui était un peu faible en quantités par rapport au prix. Ce jour là 2 choix de dessert : fraisier ou forêt noire.

Pros: Totalement vegan, Très bon, Terrasse

Cons: Quantités

tasty & original vegan food

I had heard a lot about that restaurant and decided to try it out. Everything from the starters, to the dessert and also the wine were stunning ! The menu is seasonal, the textures are bomb, the food is freshly made with love and you can definitely taste that ! the atmosphere is pretty chic&casual, not too fancy but still adapted for a business dinner for example. Special mention to the purple potato gnocchis and the incredible, crunchy and melty textures of the desserts ! The Seitan roulade was really tasty too ! They have a wide selection of wines and some local beers too.
I was impressed by the overall experience, the service is great and on point, definitely try it if you're in town !!

Pros: stunning, original, seasonal food, great wines, great starters, mains and desserts, perfect portions

Best vegan meal in a long time!

After a day of exploring Lyon, Like an Elephant was the perfect end to a fabulous day. What a pleasure to have a chef reallyy be creative ! I had a wonderful meal, starting with the Coleslaw revisited, the seitan, and ending with a delicious forêt noire. I wish I lived in Lyon just for this lovely new vegan spot.

Pros: Saveurs recherchés, great staff, Dessert!!

Enorme...

C'est là qu'il faut aller manger quand t'es à Lyon.
La cadre est chouette, mais la cuisine est encore mieux. C'est raffiné, fin, et gourmand, c'est classe mais ça se la pète pas.
Franchement c'est oui.
C'est exactement un resto comme ça que je veux à côté de chez moi...

Pros: excellent food, good value, nice vibe

Awesome!

The food was imaginative and tasty. Price was 75 euros for 3 courses plus wine for 2. By far the best vegan food in Lyon.
