Proche d’un gastro vegan - Edit
Une expérience gastronomique succulente proche d’un restaurant gastronomique
Read moreSoupe aux girolles chaleureuse et réconfortante
Un roti de seitan et purée de patates douces sux saveurs et texture habilement mariées
Parmentier de tofu et lentilles simple mais généreux et délicats.
Tout petit reproche, la main un peu lourde sur le sel
Pros: Accueil très chaleureux , Cuisine audacieuse et inventive, Peu de choix mais bien élaboré
Cons: Le peu de choix sur la carte, Très légèrement trop salé en général

Vous êtes à Lyon ? Il faut y aller ! - Edit
Pas de hésitation—allez-y tous à Like An Éléphant ! Tout l’équipe était très gentil et nous a expliqué leurs menus. Soit entrée plat, plat dessert, ou entrée plat dessert. Tout est très frais, de saison, et incroyablement bon ! Ne hésitez pas !
Read morePros: Tout est vegan, Ingrédients de saison

Très bon repas - Edit
Nous avons dîné ici il y a quelques mois; je m'étais promis de faire une critique et j'ai oublié, eh bien il n'est jamais trop tard.
Read moreC'est simple, notre repas était succulent! Nous étions les seuls dans ce resto en ce début de juin 2018, un soir de semaine. Le service était très cordial, et j'ai aimé la décoration simple, avec quelques slogans discrets "engagés". De retour à Lyon l'été prochain, c'est sûr qu'on va y retourner. Une perle à côté des bouchons innombrables de Lyon (et je ne parle pas de la circulation).

Beautiful cuisine - Edit
Not many seatings available, booking strongly advised.
Read moreWe took two menus, with gaspacho and vegetables as first dish, and a seitan and paella risotto as main dish. We also took a small cheese selection and a strawberry panacotta for dessert.
Everything was tasty and really great!
The dishes were elaborate.
The staff was super welcoming and nice.
It was a really great experience!
Pros: Great food, Great service
Cons: Booking strongly advised

L'un de mes restaurants favoris. - Edit
Très bon restaurant, très agréable et Vegan !
Read moreLa nourriture y est très bonne et certains plats changent souvent, l'accueil et l'ambiance sont très sympa.
Nous y sommes allé plusieurs fois, pour déjeuner ou dîner, et n'avons pas été déçu.
Les plats sont bon et copieux, mais dur de résister aux désserts également ! Les prix me semblent correct.
Il vaut mieux réserver, malgré pas mal de place !

Best vegan food in Lyon - Edit
I realty enjoyed eating there. First of all great service, but they don't speak English very well.They brought us tab water and always refilled it very fast.
Read moreThey give u free bread as well.
The food is [censored] awesome and if u eat a starter too u can be sure u won't go hungry.
But because there are very limited vegan options in lyon and of course because it's so good, u should really reservate otherwise u won't get a table there.
Pros: Great food, Great service
Cons: Expensive , U have to reservate

Excellent menu - Edit
First of all: you really should make a reservation. But our food was superb - reaally delicious.
Read moreAdditionally, it came really quick. The drinks are exceptionally expensive, which, though, is quite normal here in france. The beer selection is quite big.
Moreover, the service was attentive as well as friendly. We were brought bread baskets two times and the free tap water was always refilled really quick.
The starters and desserts are not bigger than they should be when ordering a whole menu - after all 3 plates, we were absolutely satisfied & filled.
Pros: Free tap water, Exceptionally great food, Really special
Cons: Expensive drinks

Tudo estava uma delícia! - Edit
Comemos nesse restaurante ontem a noite. Eu pedi um prato com seitan e polenta e meu namorado o hamburguer do dia, que era de feijão com faux gras. Também pedimos queijos franceses veganos que foram surpreendentes, muito gostosos. A sopa de entrada também estava saborosa. Tudo estava muito muito gostoso. Aprovamos e recomendamos! O atendimento também foi simpático, mas recomendamos reservar um lugar porque quase não conseguimos entrar e vimos pessoas tendo que ir embora pois não tinha mesa disponível.

Disappointed - Edit
The risotto was more like a porridge and the grilled seitan a bit dry. The faux gras and the dish of cheeses as entrees were good though.

Don't miss it ! - Edit
A real vegan restaurant, where you feel comfortable, in a warm atmosphere. The dishes are tasty, sometimes really amazing. The service is very pleasant, efficient and the staff super friendly. The wine and beer list is great ! Excellent value for money. In short, you feel good there, you eat well, without breaking the bank. And...the whole staff is vegan for the animals.

Vegan Restaurant - Edit
The place has no English menu and although the staff knows English it was hard for him to explain all the dishes (he tried but there were a lot of words he couldn't translate). So I just tried to order some things as everything is vegan and the food was good. The pure was excellent by my opinion

Cons: No English menu

Un des meilleurs restos veganes ou j'ai pu manger ! - Edit
Amatrice de bonne bouffe et végane depuis 4ans je teste régulièrement des restos veganes avec mon chéri, et celui ci et un des meilleurs sue l'on ai fait (oui oui, après avoir fait Berlin, Londres, Paris, Turin...) ! De la vraie cuisine, une carte assez petite donc gage de qualité, toujours hyper gourmand et bien assaisonné, du Seitan maison toujours top, et un service impec, le tout dans un joli lieu militant ! Que demander de plus ?? Après une dizaine de passage nous sommes toujours aussi enchanté.e.s !
Read morePros: Délicieux, militant
Cons: ?

all vegan, all delicious! - Edit
went here with three friends on our trip to lyon - staff spoke enough english to help us out. serves alcohol which was nice for those who do drink and some cute non alcoholic drinks for me! has a cute patio outside which would have been really lovely (situated on croix russes hill with a cute view) but we arrived late and had a seat inside which was a little stuffy in the summer heat.
Read morefood was delicious! we got the cheese plate - interesting assortment of cheeses, not all to my taste but cool to try regardless and extra bread brought without asking. we got a variety of entrees and an appetizer and they were all delicious and plentiful - everything i tried was excellent! wasn't the cheapest vegan meal i've ever had but in a town like lyon which struggles a bit for vegan options, a fully vegan restaurant is a real gem. take a walk around the park at the top of the hill after your meal and take in the incredible view of lyon!
Pros: friendly staff, delicious food, good size portions
Cons: stuffy in the summer heat, on the pricier side but still worth it!

Great restaurant - Edit
Friendly staff and excellent food!
Read moreYou can tell all the ingredients are fresh and there is passion in the kitchen. They have great non-dairy cheeses, and hand-made desserts.
Also, gluten-free options. The flavors are surprisingly amazing, their parmentier is worth the trip!
Pros: Great staff, Great food, Great place

The best food we had in Lyon - Edit
During our visit to Lyon, this was the place with the most interesting vegan food.
Read moreWe were lucky to get the new spring menu, and we had the cheese platter, the grilled seitan with sesame, and the parmentier of potatos and lentils. As dessert, we had the lemon tart.
Everything was delicious. The cheeses were fantastic, the mains were very original, and the portions were fair.
The staff was also friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. Highly recommended!
Pros: original menu, nice vibe, good value
