Great dinner - Edit
The food is pretty good! I really enjoyed their cheese plate, but I don’t think they make their cheeses, they are premade. I wish there was a little more of that red pepper jam that went with it, but it was enjoyable! I loved the mushroom bruschetta, it had a great flavor. I wasn’t crazy about their seitan or the sauce it was served in. The texture of the seitan was very meatloaf like when I was hoping for something more meaty like steak or chicken. There’s a lot of ways you can prepare seitan to resemble different meats so I was a bit disappointed. I personally make a lot of seitan at home from bread flour and was hoping to get inspiration, but I don’t get the impression the chef experiments with seitan often…
Read moreAs for the sauce, there was nothing wrong with it, but it wasn’t to my personal taste preference.
I appreciated the natural vegan wines and the waitress was very excited to talk about that! But she went out of her way to say she doesn’t like vegan food but loves the wine here…
She was very friendly otherwise!
Pros: Great atmosphere , Great wine , Good food

Lovely experience - Edit
Great great quality, the highlights were for sure the cheeses. The courses were also delicious, the only thing that didn’t fully convince me was the dessert, but it was still very good!

Really Good - Edit
We each got an entree-main-dessert, which meant that we ordered everything on the menu except the burger and the cheese plate. Every dish we got was delicious and had good textures, and the presentation was lovely. We sat outside on a beautiful evening, the service was friendly, and the online reservation system was easy to use. Reccomend.

Amazing - Edit
The food was amazing and the service was really nice and welcoming, interesting concept of everyone arriving around the same time, can get a bit crowded but works really well!
Read moreThere is a small but rich menu of starters, mains and desserts, and you pick either a small menu (starter main OR main dessert) or a big menu (starter main dessert)

One of the best meals I had in France - Edit
We got the seitan steak and pea soup. Words cannot express how good it was. I still think about this meal. I'll be coming back to Lyon specifically to visit here again.

Meilleur restaurant végane de Lyon - Edit
Notre restaurant préféré à Lyon ! Nous y allons régulièrement depuis 4 ans et n'avons jamais été déçu'es. Les plats sont toujours recherchés et délicieux, et l'équipe très accueillante. Il a également été validé par de nombreuses personnes non-véganes de notre entourage.

Original and Flavourful - Edit
A little on the pricey side (128 euros for 4 w/ alcohol), this vegan haunt perched a top a hill above old Lyon was a chance to try French cuisine that we’d not otherwise have access to. Our table ordered the burger, the seitan dish, and the sweet potato medley of sorts - all rated highly. The presentation was lovely. Recommend trying the cheese platter too. Be sure to make a reservation as we saw walk-ins turned away.

Un joli petit restaurant sur les hauteurs de la Croix-Rousse. L’accueil est sympathique et les plats sont tous cuisinés sur place et délicieux. Il y a quelques livres militants antispécistes et c’est appréciable. L’entrée, les plats et les desserts étaient délicieux. On y reviendra. Il y a une jolie terrasse en bois.

Un délicieux anniversaire ! - Edit
J'ai choisi ce restaurant pour mon anniversaire avec mes amis et tout le monde a adoré: la nourriture est délicieuse, saine, les goûts sont variés et changent de l'ordinaire, en quantité suffisante, et le tout divinement présenté ! Spéciale mention pour la tarte à la pomme aux 4 épices coulis chocolat chantilly: à tomber à la renverse. J'ai même eu le droit de souffler une bougie ! De plus, le service est rapide et le personnel très accueillant ! Je recommande sans hésitation et j'y retournerai avec plaisir😄

Delicious food served by awesome people - Edit
So happy to have eaten at Like An Elephant during our weekend in Lyon. The food, welcome and vibe are so good. Make the climb up Montée San Sebastián - it’s so worth it - also: don’t miss the cheese, it’s the best non-dairy we’ve ever had
