Un régal ! - Edit
On s'est régalés ! Nous étions déjà venus il y a quelques années. Et nous avons profité de notre passage sur Lyon pour y retourner. Tout est parfait, relevé et assaisonné comme il faut. Les assiettes colorées. Et le personnel très agréable. On y retournera encore et on recommande !

Excellent repas! - Edit
Couleurs, saveurs, textures, goûts : tout est recherché avec précision chez Like an elephant. La déco pro-végane et très humoristique rajoute une note personnelle et accueillante.

Amazing vegan 3 course meal💓 - Edit
We had an amazing 3 course meal at Like An Elephant. The food was really good, the flavours were just amazing. It was for sure one of the most delicious meals we’ve had and definitely worth the money. Like An Elephant is a perfect place for someone looking for a vegan fine dining experience

Delicious - Edit
We ate here on a Friday night. Price is good, 26€ for an entry main dish dessert. Had the lentil hummus dish to start, then the seitan tofu roll with cauliflower purée and brussel sprouts and the lemon tart. Everything was delicious. Tasted the soy TSP dish also, it was good, but the seitan was amazing. The staff was very welcoming.

Very nice vegan meal - Edit
Fully vegan menu. 2-3 options per course. Excellent starter and main course. Sightly disappointed with deconstructed lemon tart but overall excellent. Good value for 2 or 3 courses. Lots of bread provided. Good drink options. Hilly walk up to the restaurant from the main part of Lyon but then an easy walk down. Definitely worth a visit.

Worth the hike up the mountain - Edit
The food was amazing, creative and full of flavor, even though the portions are quite small. We also enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant but is is very small, so be sure to make a reservation. Also there was only one waiter on a fully booked evening and he surely did his best, yet, expect some waiting time.

Lyon Gourmet vegan - Edit
So delicious! A must-go if you are stopping the light Lyon. We walked ten minutes up a pretty steep hill, which made the food all the better.
Read moreStaff was wonderful and helpful (even as we struggled through our Fr-english 🙃)!
Make a reservation in advance as it can be pretty full, space is pretty low and the patio is a little tight as it is.
25 euro each for a starter main dessert.

Perfect French dinner - Edit
Like an Elephant was one of my culinary highlights during my week in Lyon! Definitely reserve a table in advance, the place will be fully booked for dinner. They have a changing menu with 2 starters, 2 mains, and 2 desserts to choose from. Starter plus main plus dessert costs € 25 which I thought was good value for money. I had an amazing culinary experience there - the food was just perfect!

Parfait !!! - Edit
Un endroit cosy où l’on se sent bien.
Read moreL’accueil est fort sympathique avec une pointe d’humour.
Les mets sont délicieux, les « Saint-Jacques » étaient bluffantes et les assaisonnements sont justes.
On a terminé le repas par deux desserts gourmands mais pas trop sucrés.
Merci pour ce très bon moment, nous aurons plaisir à revenir dès que nous reviendrons à Lyon.

Visita inprescindibel si pasas por Lyon - Edit
Este restaurante fue todo un descubrimiento. Nos encantó en todos los aspectos.
Read moreTienen una amplia variedad de bebidas no alcholicas.
El camarero fue muy símpatico con nosotros, servicio excelente, cercano, paciente, comprensivo...
Tienen una variedad de quesos vegano de la marca "Le petit vegane" que están muy bien logrados, hasta ahora los mejores quesos vegano que hemos probado.
Luego de entrantes yo tenía la crema del día de setas que estava buenísima y mi pareja tenía un entrante frío que la verdad para invierno no pegaba mucho, pero estaba bueno.
De platos principales yo comí el seitan con una verdura con salsa teriyaki, estaá BUENÍSIMO, ME ENCANTO!
Y mi pareja comió la burguer casera con las patats que también le gustó mucho.
De postre probamos la panna cotta, la textura estaba muy muy bien logrado parecía panna cotta de verdad y el sabro también muy bueno.
En general este restaurante de verdad vegano, vegatariano y no veganos, lo recomiendo mucho, estaba todo muy bueno.
Pros: Fresh and healty food, Delicious food, excelent service, 100% vegan and handmade
