Dimanche, brunch, et wouah!! C'était vraiment très bon, les goûts sont bien équilibrés il n'y a pas trop ni pas assez. Petit bémol pour la serveuse vraiment pas d'humeur 😅

Cozy cafe with great food - Edit
I got their most Instagrammed dish, a vegan plate with scrambled eggs, bacon, a croissant, and some really nicely prepared greens. This was a highlight of my trip to Lyon!

Modern, Cool and Incredible Vegan Café - Edit
When I heard that my friend was opening a vegan café in Lyon I was extremely excited. Luckily my trip through France was perfectly timed so that I could visit this amazing café just a few days after it had opened.
Read moreWhen I entered the café the first thing that struck me was how HUGE it is. I had expected seating for 10-16 people maybe, but there is space for around 50 people!
The interior design is modern and industrial with cool, bright lights. I really liked the vibe. The music was a mix of uplifting and funky indie and pop, which I think fit extremely well with the place and the time of day.
The menu had a lot of delicious things; coffee, different kinds of tea, cold drinks, smoothies, sweet food and savory food. There were also a bunch of pastries, cookies and cake at the counter. I had the The French Vegan (15€) which included scrambled tofu, vegan bacon, a vegan croissant and a salad. To drink I had a kettle of Rooibos Capetown. After The French Vegan I had a sugar crêpe (5€) with jam (2€).
First of all, the vegan bacon - WOW! It was the best vegan bacon I've ever had in my life. The second best thing was the crêpe; it was beautifully presented, the consistency was perfect and the jam was delicious. Everything else was amazing as well. The only thing I missed was some spring onion or chives in the scrambled tofu, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea.
It was eye-opening for me to hear how much work has gone into making this café a reality, and how much work is still going into it. If you want to support the vegan scene and have amazing, sustainable vegan food and drinks in a cool setting - then you need to visit ZEITGEIST Café. I know I'll for sure be coming back the next time I'm in Lyon. :)

Cheescake - Edit
A very nice place, the lady behind the desk spoke English without any problem. Fully vegan. What else could you wish for? I know! A lovely slice of cheesecake. And guess what, they had one and I devoured it with great enjoyment. Unfortunately I couldn't stay longer and try out the other wonderful items on the menu. Perhaps I will come back soon and do so. More like this please France! Long live and vegan!

Good food | a bit on the expensive side - Edit
We had breakfast there and I had the French vegan and my gf had the crêpes. The food was nice and the presentation was beautiful but I thought it was a bit on the expensive side. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The place has a cool atmosphere and a relaxing vibe.
Read moreI loved the vegan croissant, which is something that is hard to veganize and according to my gf it taste quite similar to the buttered one :)
Pros: Good food, Great staff, Nice atmosphere
Cons: A bit expensive

Good tea and energy ball - Edit
We got a tea, a coffee and an energy ball. The tea was tasty and very large which I loved. The energy ball too was good and seemed healthier (a big plus for us) ☺️

Delicious food, service needed work - Edit
The food was brilliant, absolutely delicious and you could watch the chefs preparing the food. We had the set course which was €28 for one person with an option of a main and a dessert with drink. I got the cheesy pancake with ham, and the blueberry cake for dessert and it was incredible.
Read moreThe service was less good however, and that's the only reason it doesn't get a five. I wasn't given a spoon for my cake, no serviettes were provided either, and we had to ask for water. Other tables had all of these things.
Pros: Set meal, Desserts
Cons: Service
