Preferred breakfast location in Lyon

I could only try it out today as it was closed on January 1 and 2.
Great buffet, staff was slightly ambivalent though. But the food 🥰. One of the best breakfast experiences I had so far in Europe. "the french" is a must try

Pros: "the french", interior design & coworking mo-fr, purpose

Cons: such a great place, embody it 😉, very limited toilet capacity

I went many times!

Almost hidden on a side street, it is worth seeking out! I have enjoyed everything I've had there: cinnamon roll, croissant, allongée coffee (in a small glass), “The French Vegan” breakfast plate, lasagne lunch, speculoos-crumble-topped pastry, tiramisu cheesecake… My friend enjoyed the pancakes with fresh fruit and maple syrup and the Chantilly hot chocolate. Lunch menu from 11:30 a.m.
Friendly service. You can rent their glassed-in room to hold meetings. Too bad for me that they were closed for two weeks of my stay (Christmastime).

Amazing brunch

I had brunch there the last time I was in Lyon, and everything was SO GOOD. This place is a gem: good coffee, delicious food, lovely staff, and nice setting.

Amazing!

Everything was so tasty, the atmosphere and the staff were really nice ! The "eggs" with bacon were incredible ! The ice cream was also so good, I'd eat a whole box of it by myself !

Très bien

Les desserts sont très bons, j'ai été un peu moins fan du brunch salé que j'ai fait. Les prix sont assez chers

Lovely coffee & cakes

Popped in for an iced coffee to cool down on a hot day. The caramel iced latte certainly hit the spot! The blueberry cheesecake looked so good that I had to try some... and it didn't disappoint! Really chilled vibe too and 100% vegan. Highly recommended.

Pros: 100% vegan, Yummy coffee & cake, Chilled vibe

Hearty vegan breakfast

This was a great start to the day in Lyon, filling and delicious for a long day. I got the tofu scramble which was very flavourful and came with delicious crunchy bacon bits, roasted tomatoes, rocket, cashew cream cheese and a croissant. Wasn’t the best vegan croissant I had in France (it was quite dry) but it all went together very well. I also got a cold chocolate drink which wasn’t very sweet but was topped with the BEST whipped cream. That was a highlight!

Pros: Hearty, Flavourful

Tout était bon et nous avons été servis rapidement. Beaucoup de choix de boissons et de produits sucrés, quelques produits salés.
Le french vegan et la quiche étaient délicieux.

Yummy brunch!

We ordered the crepe, the french vegan and the fluffy pancakes. All were delicious!

Menu is simple but delicious, golden milk was amazing.

Place was packed and it was difficult to get refills, etc. But they were understaffed so it's not their fault. Definitely make a reservation though.

Pros: Very friendly staff

Nice croissant

Enjoyed the French breakfast but wouldn't go out of my way to have it. The croissant that comes with it was nice and the tofu portion was great especially if you're looking for a decent amount of protein.

Fantastic quiche

This is a vegan restaurant founded in the heart of Lyon by a German woman. Very inventive and tasty food, and lovely staff. They serve lovely cakes, too. Well worth the visit after a busy day sightseeing.

Nice hidden vegan gem

I found this cafe on happy cow and wanted to try it. It is a bit hidden in a side street, so I almost missed it. I had the French vegan breakfast and some slice of bread with hummus and vegetables. I loved both of them. In Lyon, there are a few vegan bakeries, but I was looking for something more healthy after all those pastries. I was more than satisfied. Very delicious.

Pros: Everything was vegan, Staff speaks fluently English , The menu is also labelled with Gf options

Cozy cafe with great food

I got their most Instagrammed dish, a vegan plate with scrambled eggs, bacon, a croissant, and some really nicely prepared greens. This was a highlight of my trip to Lyon!
