😠 My recent experience at this restaurant left much to be desired. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was overshadowed by the discriminatory behavior displayed by one of the waiters. From the moment we walked in, it was evident that he held a disdain for tourists. His unprofessionalism reached a peak when...

    The waiter was very rude, we were tired and hungry and he seemed angry because we didn’t speak french (I guess he never met people from other countries before). Terrible service from him. Other costumers who speaks our language tried to help us ordered (very nice of them), but it was the waiter’s job. A very unpleasant experience.

    I am not vegetarian or vegan but this restaurant could convert me. Absolute unexpected taste experience for extremely fair prices. Very nice service which explained all dishes in English in detail.

    New owner since 1 month. Now there is only one dessert and only a few other dishes. The owner came more than 2:30h too late. Apparently the times are not right . He said that he does not care and that everything is on instagram. Which is not linked here. He is too lazy to invest 3 minutes on editing google maps. Food was ok, but completely overpriced. 9€ for a tiny Mousse xD. The toiltett was small, not really dirt but not really clean either. Normally the owner is quite nice, but while we were in a talk with him, he just walked past us without saying a word and did greet an superficial, known customer. Very nice of him :) Cant recommend

    Best vegan restaurant in Lyon! Owner is super nice and friendly. Great wine selection.

  • 3/5 葉多涵 4 years ago on Google • 160 reviews
    The food is on the sweet side but I prefer a bit more saltiness and acidity. The texture could have been better too. The price is higher than I expected. I don't know it's because of their location or maybe all of the ingredients are organic?

    This small, all vegan cafe was a lovely place to stop for lunch. I really appreciated that a bottle of tap water was brought to our table immediately and for free no less. The food was delicious, we tried both main dishes. However, the portion sizes were quite disappointing for the price. I think the idea would be that you have an appetizer and then a main dish each, but the appetizers also looked quite small... In any event, the coffee (with oat milk) was also very tasty.

    (Translated by Google) I found this restaurant very disappointing. A fan of organic restaurants, I say it's the worst I've tasted. The dishes were made in advance and only reheated as needed. Their menu was very light. I remained on my hunger for a meal too expensive for what I was offered. Only positive point: the sympathy of employees. (Original) J’ai trouvé ce restaurant très décevant. Adepte des restaurants bio, j’affirme que c’est le pire auquel j’ai goûté.Les plats étaient fait en avance et seulement réchauffé au besoin de plus leur carte était très légère. Je suis resté sur ma faim pour un repas bien trop chère pour ce que l’on m’a proposé. Seul point positif: la sympathie des employés.

    The owner changed and they just opened it a week ago. The food was great and the prices were also cheaper. 24€ for 3 courses is amazing for Lyon. Keep it up guys!

    (Translated by Google) Welcoming pocket vegetarian restaurant with a nice perspective on the Saint Georges footbridge. The cuisine is simple, fresh and fragrant. Sweet can be enjoyed at any time with an interesting choice of hot or cold drinks. Little cute terrace. Indulge ! (Original) Restaurant végétarien de poche accueillant et qui offre une jolie perspectivee sur la passerelle Saint Georges. La cuisine est simple, fraîche et parfumée. Le sucré peut être dégusté à toute heure accompagné d'un intéressant choix de boissons chaudes ou fraîches. Petite terrasse toute mignonne. Laissez vous tenter !

    Service was great! Our waitress was kind and attentive. But the food was unfortunately cold, bland, and unappetizing.

    (Translated by Google) The discovery of this small vegetarian restaurant is a pleasant surprise. We liked the cozy atmosphere as well as the choice of dishes with original combinations. And all for a really reasonable price knowing that the area is very touristy. We went back and will probably stay there again! (Original) La découverte de ce petit resto végétarien est une agréable surprise. Nous avons aimé l'ambiance cosy ainsi que la choix de plats avec des combinaisons originales.

Nice setting also, I recommend! (Original) Testé plusieurs fois dans le cadre d'une pause gouter et jamais déçue. Les desserts sont très bons (mention spéciale pour le brownie cru!).

    Nothing special. The dish I had was pretty basic. Their hours are wrong. They only serve food until 14h30 in the afternoon on Sundays.

  • 1/5 camille l. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) 2 dishes offered including one of two with eggplant but no bowl, there was more aubergine. No more fruit for smoothie juices ... Prices far too high for the quality of the cuisine. Dirty toilets, poorly maintained place: cobweb in the corners of the walls ... Even if the products are fresh or maybe organic? 7 € the entry for a soup is not normal. Would I have fallen on a bad day? (Original) 2 plats proposés dont l' un des deux avec de l'aubergine mais pas de bol, il n'y avait plus d'aubergine. Plus de fruits non plus pour les smoothie les jus... Prix beaucoup trop élevés pour la qualité de la cuisine. Toilettes sales, lieu mal entretenu : toile d'araignée dans les angles des murs... Même si les produits sont frais ou peut-être bio ? 7 € l'entrée pour une soupe c'est pas normal. Serais-je tombée sur un mauvais jour ?

  • 5/5 Kim P. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely cozy place with great vegan, raw and no gluten dishes- a perfect stop for a healthy meal and a great dessert (even for people with inflammation issues) the desserts were too sie for :))

  • 3/5 Eran Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute place, very good location and very friendly but... The choice was very limited (only one main course for dinner) and everything was lacking in taste. It's one of those places that give vegan food its reputation of having no passion. Also I thought more protein would have been welcome (legumes or tofu).

  • 5/5 Emily P. 2 years ago on Google
    The best service I’ve ever had in France from a waitress called Dounia. Thank you so much for excellent lunch and Lyon travel tips :)

  • 4/5 Hally W. 2 years ago on Google
    1x über Too Good To Go eine Mahlzeit abgeholt. Gazpacho und einen „bunten“ Teller gabs. Geschmacklich alles vorzüglich. Beim Warten vor Ort habe ich die Speisekarte studiert - kommt mir preislich etwas teuer vor. Deshalb nur 4 Sterne. Wie gesagt: geschmacklich gibt es nichts daran auszusetzen. Ideal für Veganer!

  • 4/5 Karine 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The young woman who welcomed us was adorable, friendly and attentive ... Everything was good with 3 options to choose from if you wish and at reasonable prices. Small flat for the place which is a bit small. We had not booked but we were lucky to arrive at the very start of the service, but I recommend booking because the restaurant fills up very quickly! And the staff had to refuse customers. In any case I highly recommend this little vegan restaurant and I plan to go back ... (Original) La jeune femme qui nous a accueilli était adorable, sympathique et attentionnée... Tout était bon avec 3 formules au choix si on le souhaite et à des prix raisonnable. Petit bémol pour l'endroit qui est un peu petit. Nous n'avions pas réservé mais nous avons eu la chance d'arriver au tout début du service, mais je conseille de réserver, car le restaurant se rempli très vite! Et le personnel a dû refuser des clients. Dans tous les cas je recommande vivement ce petit restaurant végétalien et je pense y retourner...

    (Translated by Google) Good location (near old Lyon and parking 5 minutes walk), restaurant with ease. Received by Florent, very sympathetic. Fixed menu with very tasty VEGAN dishes. A lovely moment. Invoice: € 53 for 2 kefirs + 1 menu (2 starters + main course + dessert) + 1 main course and 1 dessert. To improve: the toilet area. (Original) Bonne localisation (proche vieux Lyon et parking à 5mn à pied), restaurant en toute simplicité. Recus par Florent, très sympathique. Menu fixe aux plats VEGAN très goûteux. Un joli moment.

  • 4/5 Max B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) An excellent original starter and a popular main course, which would nevertheless have deserved a little more elaboration for a restaurant (simple trio of raw vegetables). The products are of high quality and the service is pleasant. (Original) Une excellente entrée originale et un plat principal apprécié, qui aurait néanmoins mérité un peu plus d'élaboration pour un restaurant (simple trio de crudités). Les produits sont de qualité et le service agréable.

    (Translated by Google) Organic and vegan food. Very good service and seasonal product. Highly recommended but you have to book as it is small. For my part, I would ask for a little more vegetable protein, but for the rest, great! (Original) Comida biológica y vegana. Atención muy buena y producto de temporada.

    My recent experience at this restaurant left much to be desired. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was overshadowed by the discriminatory behavior displayed by one of the waiters. From the moment we walked in, it was evident that he held a disdain for tourists. His unprofessionalism reached a peak when, in a public display, he made a scene, showcasing his frustration and disdain for us and other tourists present. It was not only embarrassing but also completely unacceptable for a service-oriented establishment. The incident tainted our entire dining experience, and I cannot overlook such behavior. As someone who values respectful and courteous service, I would strongly caution against choosing this restaurant if you’re a tourist. It’s disheartening to see such behavior go unchecked, and I hope the management takes steps to address these issues for the sake of their reputation and the comfort of all patrons.
