    Fantastic dining experience at Culina Hortus in Lyon, a 100% vegetarian restaurant. They offer a well composed 11 course tasting menu at a fair price of €70, which can be slightly adjusted for food allergies. We really enjoyed the creativity of the dishes and the different tastes and textures that they were playing with in the courses. The location is nicely designed with stone and wooden elements. The service was very knowledgeable and helpful. I can 100% recommend a visit there!

    (Translated by Google) We were there at lunch This is the second time we have come to this restaurant. Last year we had an amazing experience, I remember the dish presented in earthy form with new potato and buckwheat, which remains the best vegetarian dish I have eaten. I still dream of it. On the other hand, today at noon we did not find the meal exceptional, the price and the quality increased, but in my opinion the creativity and the quantity decreased. The feeling that we have is a cuisine more focused on the complexity of presentation and less on the originality of combinations and quantity. For example, the dish with risotto and eggplant was very well artistically composed, but we found ordinary and the amount of risotto was less. Nevertheless, the gnocchi with shallots was excellent and my favorite dish was the hazelnut meringue dessert, it was really perfectly done. We are not a big eater, sometimes struggling to finish plates in some restaurants, but today we came away hungry. (Original) Nous étions là au déjeuné C’est la seconde fois que nous venons dans ce restaurant. L'année dernière, nous avions eu une experience extraodinaire, je me souviens du plat présenté sous forme terreuse avec pomme de terre nouvelle et sarrasin, qui reste le meilleure plat végétarien que j'ai mangé. J’en rêve toujours. En revanche, aujourd’hui midi, nous n’avons pas trouvé le repas exceptionnel, le prix et la qualité ont augmentée, mais à mon avis la créativité et la quantité ont diminuée. Le ressenti que nous avons, est une cuisine plus concentré sur la complexité de présentation et moins sur l’originalité de combinaisons et quantité. Par exemple, le plat avec risotto et l'aubergine était très bien composé artistiquement, mais nous a paru ordinaire et la quantité de risotto était moindre. Néanmoins, le gnocchi avec des échalotes était excellent et mon plat préférée était le dessert de meringue - noisette, c’était vraiment parfaitement réalisé. Nous ne sommes pas de gros mangeur, peinant parfois à finir les assiettes dans certains restaurant, mais aujourd’hui nous sommes ressortis avec la faim.

    (Translated by Google) Restaurant where the cuisine is interesting, but we feel that the soul is not there. The boss presses and has absolutely no relational contact and suddenly the service is the same. The restaurant wants to be a minimum gastro, but then the human side must be seen as important as the cuisine. We were in a hurry, and we couldn't enjoy our meal. There was therefore no room for escapism for culinary emotion. Too bad, we won't be going back especially for the price. (Original) Restaurant ou la cuisine est interessante, mais on sent derrière que l'âme n'y est pas. Le patron presse et n'a absolument aucun contact relationnel et du coup le service est de même. Le restaurant se veut un minimum gastro, mais alors le coté humain doit être important voir autant que la cuisine. Nous avons été pressé, et nous n'avons pas pu apprécié notre repas. Il n' y a donc pas eu place à l'evasion pour l'émotion culinaire. Dommage, nous n'y retournerons pas surtout pour le prix.

    Incredible experience! Don’t miss this when you’re in Lyon. Warm service. Came for dinner and had a wine pairing. It’s worth taking the wine pairing (€35) for the full experience. The sommelier did a great job. Flavours are very fresh and interesting. I didn’t even care that it was vegetarian. I’m gluten-free and they accommodated me very well.

    (Translated by Google) Despite the reputation of the cuisine, we gave up booking due to the levy of a penalty of 80 euros in the event of cancellation less than 24 hours beforehand because it was necessary to leave the imprint of the bank card. Unfortunately, an unforeseen event is always possible (illness, accident, etc.). Information taken is illegal. A regrettable drift in the current context. Cold reception on the phone. Pity. Recent negative opinions on different sites for similar pbs. (Original) Malgré la réputation de la cuisine, ns avons renoncé à réserver en raison du prélèvement d'une pénalité de 80 euros en cas d'annulation moins de 24h avt car il ft laisser l'empreinte de la carte bancaire. Or un imprévu est hélas tjrs possible (maladie, accident...). Renseignements pris, c'est iilégal. Une regrettable dérive ds le contexte actuel. Accueil glacial au téléphone. Dommage. Des avis négatifs récents sur différents sites pour des pbs similaires.

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, we were in a hurry during our meal. Something very badly happened when we had traveled to come. And then, the service lacks soul when we ask questions we feel that we disturb the servers and that it requires an effort to be friendly. It wants to be gastro but it is not for these first two reasons, but we really liked our dessert, and the starter, but really spoiled by the pressure and the lack of soul of the restaurant despite the side very very clean very clearly worked. (Original) Malheureusement, nous avons été pressé durant notre repas. Chose très mal venu alors que nous avions fait de la route pour venir. Et ensuite, le service manque d'âme lorsque l'on pose des questions on sent que l'on dérange les serveurs et que ça leur demande un effort d'être aimable. Ca se veut gastro mais ça ne l'est pas pour ces deux premières raisons, mais la nous avons beaucoup aimé notre dessert, et le plat d'entrée, mais vraiment gaché par la pression et le manques d'âme du restau malgrès le coté très très propret très travaillé clairement.

  • 4/5 Adeline L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Fairly mixed results for this meal that I thought was exceptional. The setting is beautiful, pleasant and sober. However, two of the dishes (out of eight) were cruelly bland: an eggplant, and gnocchi to name them. Little relief on the flavors, watery, with too coarse tastes of garlic or candied onions / shallots. The rest of the meal makes up for these disappointments, especially the juices, which are a wonderful addition to vegetarian dishes. Nevertheless, I was more amazed and astonished by the vegetarian preparations of Mutinerie, another restaurant in Lyon, than those of Culina which is supposed to specialize in these dishes. (Original) Bilan assez mitigé pour ce repas que je pensais exceptionnel. Le cadre est beau, plaisant et sobre. Toutefois, deux des plats (sur huit) étaient cruellement fades : une aubergine, et des gnocchis pour les citer. Peu de relief sur les saveurs, aqueux, avec des goûts trop grossiers d'ail ou d'oignons / échalotes confits. Le reste du repas rattrape ces déceptions, surtout les jus qui rehaussent à merveille les plats végétariens. Néanmoins, j'ai été plus stupéfaite et étonnée par les préparations végétarienne de la Mutinerie, autre restaurant lyonnais, que celles de Culina qui est censé se spécialiser dans ces mets.

    Very good vegetarian restaurant. Deserves at least one Michelin star. The quantities are good for a full menu. The staff is very friendly and even for non-vegetarian it is very entertaining and creative.

    très bon accueil! I was there for my late birthday celebration and we had lunch for only 26 euro (entrée, plat, dessert) and it was amazing! The restaurant is stunning and well-designed, food is delicious absolutely, as well as good wine selection and coffee. Highly recommend for vegetarians!!!

    I had lunch here a few week ago and just wow. It was amazing I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and will definitely be recommending this place to anybody who visits lyon. I thought the ravioli was such a flavour bomb with beutiful texture from the onion. I appreciated the fresh warm bread roll that filled me up and beutiful wine which accompanied my meal. I also thought my meal was very reasonably priced and was served in under an hour! I will definitely be back for dinner.

  • 3/5 Xirley C. 3 months ago on Google • 102 reviews New
    We visited for lunch. The service was good, the tasting menu was also quite creative. Cannot say it was mind blowing, but good overall. My biggest issue was that I got drenched in red wine from the neighbouring table. We had to change tables as the area was soaking wet. The staff put us on another table however, they did not offer any compensation. There was a dish on my table when this happened and unfortunatley I had to eat it cold and had some wine in it from the accident. The manager, Jeanne, provided me with her email address and told me if I need a witness statement I can email her. I emailed her but never heard back from her. My critique is that the tables are way too close to each other, its too claustrophobic. I can understand why such accidents happen. I was the unfortunate beneficiary of the wine dousing but regardless was not provided any compensation for the clothes or handbag from the restaurant.

    Outstanding culinary experience. I've had many Michelin starred vegetarian degustations and this surpasses them in both taste and creativity. A really outstanding find in Lyon, where most restaurants don't accommodate vegetarians.

    In addition to the outstanding food, the staff here was absolutely wonderful. Every single item was a masterpiece of art. It blew my mind how creative the chef was and how beautiful everything looked. I don’t usually get emotional over food, but the beauty of this restaurant brought tears of joy to my eyes. I would highly recommend attending this restaurant whether you are vegetarian or not. It was loved by both my husband (non-vegetarian) and myself (vegetarian).

    (Translated by Google) I tel Saturday Oct 10 at 7:16 p.m. with no real hope of finding 1 table for 2 and a nice surprise, if we arrive within 1 / 2h they have room. My friend is not very excited but agrees to go see the rather vague menu for 1 menu without choice and without drinks at 60 €. We decide to cancel it is 7:45 pm max and my friend is literally bullied by the 3 employees present: we are not allowed, they have refused other people in the meantime, etc. At this time the restaurant is empty except for 1 table of 2. When can a shopkeeper, whatever he be, afford such a lack of professionalism? Has it never happened to him to be wrong or change his mind? Even if economic activity is slowed down and difficult in what world do we talk like that to potential customers? What about the 2 people who initially withdrew, they too were swarmed? We had the courtesy to warn them which is not the case for everyone and we are treated irresponsible as if their lives depended on it. My friend came from Canada after 1 sleepless night for 1 death in her family and almost collapsed in front of so much pettiness. But what is your problem? (Original) Je tel samedi 10 oct à 19h16 sans réel espoir de trouver 1 table pour 2 et belle surprise, si on arrive dans la 1/2h ils ont de la place. Mon amie est peu emballée mais accepte d'aller voir la carte plutôt vague pour 1 menu sans choix et sans boissons à 60€. On décide d'annuler il est 19h45 max et mon amie se fait littéralement houspillée par les 3 employés présents : on n'a pas le droit, ils ont refusé d'autres personnes entre temps, etc. A ce moment là le restaurant est vide à part 1 table de 2. A quel moment un commerçant quel qu'il soit peut-il se permettre un tel manque de professionnalisme? Se tromper ou changer d'avis ne lui est jamais arrivé? Même si l'activité économique est ralentie et difficile dans quel monde on parle comme ça à des potentiels clients? Qu'en est-il des 2 personnes qui se sont désistées initialement, elles aussi se sont fait enguirlandées? Nous avons eu la courtoisie de les prévenir ce qui n'est pas le cas de tout le monde et on est traitées d'irresponsables comme si leur vie en dépendait. Mon amie venait du Canada après 1 nuit blanche pour 1 décès dans sa famille et a failli s'effondrer devant tant de mesquinerie. Mais quel est votre problème?

    Gorgeous restaurant, perfectly attentive service, and gorgeous food presentation. But to my American taste buds, the food was a little too subtle, ie bland. Probably perfect for French tastes. Still highly recommended.

  • 5/5 paul s. 10 months ago on Google • 296 reviews
    This was a recommendation as I like a ‘foodie’ experience. The menu is vegetarian and although I’m not vegetarian, I was not disappointed with any of the dishes. Each serving arrived and looked delicious and tasted even better. We were sat between a French table and an American couple. The descriptions of the food were better (more flowerery) in French. The staff were lovely and I observed that all of them seem to like each other and were constantly smiling. TIP: I went in the evening but if you go at lunchtime it’s much cheaper. The experience was lovely.

  • 5/5 Maribel M. 5 months ago on Google • 292 reviews
    We went for the lunch tasting and it was amazing (service, plating, and food). Their buckwheat butter was something we never had before. They have mocktails and they were tasty - it kind of overpowered the food but they were good. Everything was delicious so we highly recommend you try this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Avnish S. 1 year ago on Google • 64 reviews
    This is a rare find in the French culinary scene which is not known for vegetarian food! Had the tasting menu with the wine pairing and felt it was generally well priced vs similar other restaurants in Europe. Service was top notch, they took time to explain the dishes and wine pairing to me. Plan for around 3 hours - speed could be improved to be honest if they wanted to fit in more guests but I didn’t mind. It was a nice experience overall. If I was being nitpicky, the one thing I’d suggest would be to have an underlying theme to the various courses - we went from Japanese / Asian inspired at times to European / continental so that was all over the place! Again not complaining as the food was quite nice but I sense this could be the delta between this restaurant being a Michelin Guide restaurant to getting a Michelin star.

  • 5/5 Ricky B. 8 months ago on Google
    Culina Hortus was an excellent meal, with excellent service. In a city know for food, Culina Hortus made it easy to find a place that is catered towards vegetarians that emphasizes and highlighted local seasonal produce in a beautiful way. Culina Hortus is a top tier restaurant that happens to be vegetarian. I would highly recommend to anyone, whether or not you are a vegetarian. We’ll worth the money and an overall pleasant experience.

    We had a wonderful experience here. They serve a ten-course menu, and every dish has something interesting. For example, one dish had green beans and cherries, which sounds odd but tasted delicious. The staff did their best to make us feel welcome and gave good suggestions for drinks. Excellent place.

    Great food and great service. We had dinner with a seven-course menu, and both the waiters and the sommelier were very knowledgeable and keen to share details about the dishes and the wine. I'm not a vegetarian and the whole experience made me rediscover vegetables. Plan for around 3 hours.

    (Translated by Google) We wanted to test the best vegetarian restaurant in the world during this difficult period. According to their statements. We ordered take out the duo menu. Well packaged, with a small manual. So far, it's okay. On the other hand, disappointed with the taste: the main course, mushroom pie, Jerusalem artichoke and truffle. Appearance worked but poor in taste and very insufficient quantity of sauce. It is supposed to be a menu for of them. One flower for two. Very dry truffled brie and honestly not really the taste of truffle. Dessert me creamy dark chocolate, peanut scrunchie and peanut caramel. Nice but nothing more. The next day we saw on an Instagram ad that there was an option with a few extras. We inquire, and the answer without being really unpleasant, we were disappointed because we only talk about money. Ok, all work deserves a salary, but there are other values ​​to convey in the kitchen. And when you adorn yourself with the title of best vegetarian restaurant in the world, you have to live up to the word and deed. Which is not the case. For having tasted different vegetarian cuisines in the world, the title is very flattering. I know of other restaurants that could largely have it. Pity. (Original) Nous avons voulu tester en cette période difficile le meilleur restaurant végétarien du monde. D'après leurs dires. Nous avons commandé en emporté le menu duo. Bien emballé, avec un petit manuel. Jusque là, ça va. Par contre, déçus du goût: le plat principal, tourte champignon, topinambour et truffe. D'apparence travaillée mais pauvre en goût et quantité de sauce très insuffisante. Il est supposé être un menu pour deux. Une seule fleur pour deux. Le brie truffé très sec et honnêtement, pas vraiment le goût de la truffe. Me dessert crémeux chocolat noir, chouchou cacahuète et caramel cacahuète. Sympa mais sans plus. Le lendemain nous voyons sur une pub Instagram qu'il y avait une option avec quelques extras. Nous nous renseignons, et la réponse sans être vraiment désagréable, nous as déçu car nous n'avons parler qu'argent. Ok, tout travail mérite salaire mais il y a d'autres valeurs à transmettre dans la cuisine. Et quand on se pare du titre de meilleur restaurant végétarien du monde, il faut être à la hauteur dans les paroles et dans les actes. Ce qui n'est pas le cas. Pour avoir goûté à différentes cuisines végétariennes dans le monde, le titre est très flatteur. Je connais d'autres restaurants qui pourraient largement en être détenteurs. Dommage.

    (Translated by Google) They amply deserve their award for the best vegetarian restaurant in the world! Everything was delicious and super well presented. The flavors are initially subtle and then explode in the mouth. We feel that they do not need to add too much sugar, too much fat or too much salt to showcase their high quality products. In addition, they adapt very well to food intolerances. The decor is very nice and warm and the servers are frankly friendly and know how to run a room in the rules of the art. It is certainly a budget compared to a classic restaurant, but given the quality, the number of dishes served and the welcome, I find this gourmet restaurant perfectly affordable. In summary, all carnivores should stop by this restaurant to stop saying that they can not do without meat! ^^ (Original) Ils méritent amplement leur prix du meilleur restaurant végétarien du monde! Tout était délicieux et super bien présenté. Les saveurs sont d'abord subtiles puis explosent en bouche. On sent qu'ils n'ont pas besoin d'ajouter trop de sucre, trop de gras ou trop de sel pour mettre en valeur leurs produits d'une grande qualité. Par ailleurs, ils s'accommodent très bien des intolérances alimentaires. La déco est très sympa et chaleureuse et les serveurs sont franchement sympathiques et savent tenir une salle dans les règles de l'art. C'est certes un budget par rapport à un restaurant classique, mais au vu de la qualité, du nombre de plats servis et de l'accueil, je trouve ce restaurant gastronomique parfaitement abordable. En résumé, tous les carnivores devraient passer dans ce restaurant pour cesser de dire qu'ils ne peuvent se passer de viande! ^^

    (Translated by Google) A vegetarian address that is worth the detour! Gastronomic menu (3 courses + 2 sweets) at 30 € for lunch, hard to beat.

L'entrée, le plat et le dessert étaient vraiment très réussis ! Le tout accompagné de bon pain, d'huile d'olive fumé maison et d'un beurre au sésame (maison aussi), c'était parfait.

    (Translated by Google) Delicious flavors, even for a non-vegetarian. Pleasant and well decorated place. Affordable price for a gastro, however it is an exaggeration to say that 5 dishes are served (at noon), it is actually 3 dishes + savory and sweet appetizers. The reception is also a black point. By politely advising of our delay (5-10min), we learn by phone that the kitchen closes at 1pm while the last reservation available on the site is 12:45 pm ... very surprising. Then we had the right to a rather unpleasant attitude of the staff, because we asked ... pepper! Obviously, this request was out of the ordinary and insulting ... The management of the customer relationship / reception is therefore the point to review, especially for a restaurant of this "standing". (Original) Saveurs délicieuses, même pour une non vegetarienne. Lieu agréable et bien décoré. Prix abordable pour un gastro, cependant il est exagéré de dire que 5 plats sont servis (le midi), il s'agit en réalité de 3 plats + amuses bouches salé et sucré. L'accueil est aussi un point noir. En prévenant par politesse de notre retard (5-10min), nous apprenons par téléphone que la cuisine ferme à 13h alors que la dernière réservation dispo sur le site est 12h45...très surprenant. Puis nous avons eu le droit à une attitude plutôt désagréable du staff, car nous demandions...du poivre! Visiblement, cette demande était hors du commun et insultante... La gestion de la relation client/l'accueil est donc le point à revoir, surtout pour un restaurant de ce "standing".

    (Translated by Google) Excellent vegetarian restaurant. Everything is really exquisite, from the starter to the dessert. The dishes are very well seasoned, and may also be suitable for non-vegetarians. Very warm place with a nice wine list. A pearl to absolutely test +++ On the other hand, it is essential to reserve in advance. (Original) Excellent restaurant végétarien. Tout est vraiment exquis, de l'entrée au dessert.

👍 Nice experience in this new restaurant. Gentle staff, there is a nice feeling. I recommend the salads which are super tasty and creative. Could not experience the fresh juice as the restaurant seems to have some teething problems but I will come back in a few weeks to try more.
