I went there with two friends for dinner. I liked that the menu was short with few options, seasonal and changing regularly. The starter was very nice but I was a bit disappointed with the main (tempeh and polenta). The polenta looked somehow more like a purée and I was not so fond of the tempeh. I think the portions are too tiny for the price and the drinks menu was also pretty expensive. Service was rather great though.
An incredible experience! Such warm and welcoming service and a very chill vibe, but the food tops it all! I have been vegan for almost 9 years and this is the best meal I've eaten in that time. Lovely to be able to enjoy French food and local wine. My friend I visited with is non-vegan and said it is in her top meals also. A must go for Lyon - whether you're vegan or not! Thanks a million :)
Impossible to just walk in and grab a table 100% you should make a reservation.
Regardless, the menu wasn’t huge, but what it lacked in quantities it made up for in quality. The vegan cheese plater was out of this world…I’ve never had vegan cheese this good before. The blue ACTUALLY tasted like a blue. It’s a must try when in Lyon.

From the second, we set foot in the restaurant we received warm, friendly and attentive service. Small but varied menu, and the dishes were delicious, presented beautifully, and served quickly. The portions are perfect size as after having 2 dishes each, we left pleasantly full. The drinks menu is also nicely varied. We enjoyed the bottle of local wine, which was fruity and easy-drinking. Overall atmosphere was very relaxed; it was obvious that all other diners were enjoying their evening.
I strongly recommend this place, and I will be back if/when I'm back in Lyon. Thank you to the team for a really enjoyable evening.

Full vegan menu French bistro style from start to finish. Loved all the flavors. Great chef that knows how to make tasty vegan dishes that are complete in macro nutrients as well, with a good amount of lentils and a seitan dish to add some protein.
Refined flavors and big plates. Lovely place.

How nice to have a full vegan menu! Everything was really tasty and nicely arranged in the plates. They even have a platter of locally-produced vegan cheeses.
The restaurant has a small terrace on the street side so if you want to eat outside it’s good to come early or ask for it in the reservation.
The only point of improvement would be the music that was quite repetitive and not calm at all for dinner.

We had a marvelous experience eating at this restaurant. The service was great, the waiter very friendly and despite doing all the tables himself, he was always perfectly anticipating our needs.
The food was delicious! They had only a few choices, some adventurous dishes and some more common ones, borrowing from cuisines all over the world, thereby having something for everyone's taste. What made our experience unforgettable was the selection of vegan cheeses that were homemade by the restaurant. We read through the book on how to make them (which was on display) but the magic of the vegan cheeses was not reduced one bit knowing how they're made. It was truly a special experience. Highly recommend and would go back any time!
For two people we each got one glass of wine, unlimited refills of water and delicious bread, and a 3-course meal. We paid - including tips - 78 euros.
