    (Translated by Google) Beautiful presentation, very good dishes, excellent welcome, and all this while respecting the Animal world! It perfectly matches my expectations of this "new" world. I wish them much success in making the facade a little prettier. The terrace is nice. Thanks, I will be back! (Original) Belle présentation, très bons plats, excellent accueil, et tout cela en respectant le monde Animal! Cela correspond parfaitement à mes attentes de ce "nouveau" monde. Je leur souhaite beaucoup de succès afin de faire une façade un peu plus jolie. La terrasse est sympa. Merci, je reviendrai !

    Lovely restaurant with plenty of coffee and food options. We ordered the wrap and plate. Coffee was ok and chai tea was excellent

    (Translated by Google) Clearly one of my favorite restaurants in Lyon, and yet I am neither vegan nor vegetarian. Their cuisine is creative, varied, rich, they are always mixtures of new and original flavors, in short, I never get tired of it! (Original) Clairement un de mes restaurants préférés à Lyon, et pourtant je ne suis ni vegan, ni végétarienne. Leur cuisine est créative, variée, riche, ce sont toujours des mélanges de saveurs nouveaux et originaux, bref, je ne m'en lasse jamais !

    Good taste, very nice service, but too expensive (one rather small main dish around 13€) and nutrituous value of main dishes could be better (particularly for vegans it should always contain sufficient proteins, which the risotto didnt)

    Everything was delicious and the staff's super friendly, I went with a non vegan friend and she really enjoyed it too, she said she'd come back for sure! The prices are more than fair so if you're in the area don't hesitate and visit this cute cafe😘👌

    I went to Against The Grain while staying in Lyon with friends. I got 2 hazelnut and 2 cinnomon rolls are both were amazing. In fact, I regret not getting more. And my non-vegan friends also thought they were amazing!

    I love this place! It is my go to for lunch. I find it excruciatingly difficult to find vegan restaurants/places that offer vegan/vegetarian options in Lyon especially since veganism is less popular in the gastronomic capital compared to North American cities and other larger European cities (e.g. Paris and London). Against the Grain never disappoints. They offer a wide range of creative and flavourful dishes and baked goods from daily soups, salads, vegan bowls, and more! The price of goods are reasonable - nothing more than 15 euros (+ they offer combo options if you want a 3 course meal). Customers can dine in or get their food to go. If you are choosing to dine in, the ambiance is lovely. The restaurant is simplistic, clean, well lit, and seating is comfortable. The customer service is excellent - always with a big smile and they are bilingual (French and English for my fellow anglophones that are living and/or visiting Lyon). Will 100% recommend.

    (Translated by Google) Delicious and balanced Vegan cuisine, the mixture of ingredients gives new flavors which we are not necessarily used to. Very friendly waitresses. Only downside is the room which is a bit small. An address that I recommend. A delicious and balanced Vegan cuisine, the mix of ingredients gives new flavors that you may not be used to.

  • 2/5 Nato J. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I dropped my bill because in fact I find that the quality of food and service are clearly deteriorated in one year ... The pars of cakes become more and more fine. There are ridiculous banking minimums ... In short a real shame when there was clearly a potential despite a room too small. This is unfortunately no longer the place I love so much. Some other coffees shops or veggie friendly restaurants are warmer and less attracted by just what's in my faux leather wallet ... (Original) J'ai baissé ma note car en fait je trouve que la qualité de la nourriture et du service ce sont clairement détériorées en un an... Les pars de gâteaux deviennent de plus en plus fine. Il y a des minimum bancaires ridicules... Bref vraiment dommage alors qu'il y avait clairement un potentiel malgré une salle beaucoup trop petite. Ce n'est hélas plus l'endroit que j'affectionne tant. Certains autres coffees shops ou resto veggie friendly sont plus chaleureux et moins attirés par uniquement ce qu'il y a dans mon portefeuille en simili cuir...

It's really super ! And for those who wonder, we do not feel at all that the pastries are vegans they are just so good! (Original) J'adore ce café !! Il est tellement agréable on y passe un super moment ! La nourriture servie est délicieuse et super bien préparée, bonne qualité rien à redire ! Les personnes sont très sympathiques. C'est vraiment super ! Et pour ceux qui se demande, on se sent pas du tout que les pâtisseries sont vegans elles sont juste tellement bonnes !

  • 5/5 Kaloyan S. 6 years ago on Google
    This is not a paid review. But if it was, I'd probably spend the money eating at Against the Grain. It's amazing . Simply amazing. It doesn't matter if you're a vegan or not. The food is always great and the staff is so nice. There's a different menu each weekend and you can choose between plat du jour, soupe or a super wrap usually. The salads are different, but surprisingly good. To finish off, you can have a dessert, a coffee, juice or beer. I suggest calling at least a day in advance on weekends to reserve a table, because it's usually full. It's that good!
