It is a very cute place with an original 100% vegan homemade menu! Delicious meals in a chill atmosphere. Lovely staff, we'll come back!
I had the "Sunday brunch fixed menu" here and, suffice to say, I was sufficiently blown away by the food. For 26 euros, I received a unique cold beverage, an appetizer, a main, and a dessert, and all of the courses were creative, delicious, and filling. Also, staff were also friendly, courteous, and informative. I can honestly and happily say that this meal was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to France, and I'm so glad I decided to pop in while exploring Croix-Rousse!
We visited this restaurant on a Sunday where the only option available was a fixed menu.
There were only two people working in the whole place, one cooking and occasionally clearing tables snd the other as a waitress. Because of this we waited for 1 hour and 15 minutes before we saw the starter. Unfortunately having to wait for so long spoiled the experience because the atmosphere of the restaurant is very warm and welcoming and the food is good.
Another thing that was not explained was that some people received some items, others didn't, everyone on the same table had the same dish, but that could be different from the next table: we had a sweet potato galette on lentils (very nice), the table behind had lasagne. No one was able to order anything specific.
It's a shame that the only reason I will remember this restaurant is the wait we had to endure, in total we spent over two hours inside, mainly drinking water and looking at the waitress .

We did not want to write a negative opinion, but after two days of eating there, we still feel very disappointed by the experience, so we decided that it is important that we write it.
The place seemed very inviting and colorful with a very friendly vibe with the precious idea of being vegan, gluten-free and organic (what is uncommon in Lyon). We were offered brunch for 26 euros per person including drinks, which seemed a bit much, but from our short experience is quite common in Lyon.
Unfortunately, the food was tasteless, presented carelessly and it was not fresh. It made us feel sick for the rest of the day (literally, as our stomachs were aching). The open kitchen, which one walks through, while walking to the toilet, displayed pieces of our "freshly" prepared food left out to further dry. The staff, even though friendly at first, seemed frustrated and even angry at moments. It was a weird, unexpected experience.
It is important to say that we fully agree with the restaurants' mission of serving 100% vegan and organic (also gluten-free is nice to have) meals influenced by local and international cuisine in an inclusive atmosphere.
We very much hope that the comment will serve as a constructive critique, although from the experience we had, we believe that it won't be taken as such. This will be a pity, because we need more and not fewer fans of such concepts.

Vegan food. I took my friends who are not vegan and meat eaters and they did not try to find the taste of such proteins in the dishes. There was no need. It was so tasty with a colorful presentation and flavors, and we feel the whole-hearted research to activate everyone's taste buds. The wine was excellent too, we highly recommend and we will soon be back for a brunch this time ! Cheers to the team !
We had a really lovely evening, great service and fantastic vegan food - it even satiated committed meat eaters. The wine list features a good range and is well priced - we particularly enjoyed the chef’s recommendation. Also worth noting that it’s a lovely space and we fitted a group of 8 in comfortably, not always the easiest thing to do in Lyon! Highly recommended.
It is always difficult to find a good place to eat when you’re traveling as a vegan but we were very pleased to have found this restaurant. The menu was completely vegan and very creative! The fresh ingredients and the natural wine we had with our three courses was loved by vegans and non- vegan in our group! I can definitely recommend this restaurant if you want to have a delicious and healthy evening in Lyon, France!
