Veg cafe literally in front of the gare St-Charles

Feel pretty dumb for not having ever noticed this place before - it's literally in front of the steps to the gare St-Charles. A pleasant and relaxed cafe and restaurant, quite 'granola' but that's not a criticism. They have a small menu with limited vegan options but, the day I went, the main dish was vegan - hummus (not very good); quinoa with pumpkin seeds; chickpeas with collards; carrots and cabbage; a ?tahini sauce?; mâche; some bread. Not gourmand but simple and healthy. Can't complain - filled me up and it all cost only 9 EUR. Nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Very self-service - they bring you your food but you gather your utensils, glasses, water etc. Glad to have found this place.

Pros: location, cheap, healthy

Cons: limited vegan options

Eco-veggie place, but limited choices for vegans

The Ecomotive Café is an associative Coffee that promotes ecological behaviors. It consequently offers fresh vegetarian food and drinks. The place is well located near the train station, the atmosphere is nice and relaxed and the staff is friendly. However, there are sometimes very few vegan options. Only the starter was vegan when I had lunch here: hummus and fried vegetables with their homemade bread (excellent), that were good but not sufficient for a complete meal. And there was no other options. Because they promote a sustainable attitude toward the environment, it is a pity that vegan options was so hard to find. Prices are fair, and even cheaper if you are a member of the coffee.

Pros: well located, fresh food, vegetarian, large opening hours, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, affordable

Cons: few vegan choices

Next to train station

This is a down to earth place next to the train station which offers relatively healthy fare. Nothing too fancy. On the other hand, compared to the awful eateries that usually are found near huge train terminals , this one is pretty good.

Pros: good locations, healthy, relaxed, not expensive

Cons: not fancy, not gourmet
