Safe vegetarian haven in Lyon! - Edit
Imaginative, exciting veggie food. You get to choose from a variety of menus. Lovely atmosphere, you can see the chef which is cool! I had the watermelon gazpacho, millet risotto and tried the seitan. A really nice place for vegetarians/vegans to escape to in meat-obsessed Lyon!

delicious home made vegan food - Edit
My boyfriend and I had a delicious lunch. We had a gazpacho of zucchini-mint and vegetal ricotta for entrée and a salad d'été. Le plat du jour was really good! Lot of flavors and the portion is perfect. I do really recommend this restaurant for all vegan, vegetarian people and for the ones who want to eat healthy. It's home made, that's the best point. The service is very good.
Pros: the ingredients, the food, the service, the place

Excellent ! - Edit
Complètement végane maintenant !
Endroit idéal pour se faire un bon petit resto dans les coins biens touristiques. La déco originale est super sympa. Le personnel est très sympa. Et les plats excellents.
On en a eu pour 64 € à deux en prenant la totale :
- 2 verres de vins maison en apéritif (super bons!)
- 2 entrées : purple tartade au gingembre (miam miam miam)
- 2 plats : une "assiette toutes les couleurs" mélange de légumes, légumineuses, céréales, tofu, etc (very very good!) et une assiette "découverte" super bonne mais un peu légère.
- 2 fromages végétaux, un bof l'autre très bon.
- 2 desserts : tarte tatin excellente.
Il vaut mieux réserver!
Nous recommandons !
Awesome restaurant. Its all vegan now.
We had a full diner for 64 euros. Everything was excellent. Staff is really nice. Fresh food. Really nice place for some touristic aspirations.
Its better to book before!
Go for it :)
Pros: the place and decoration, Fesh and very tasty food, nice staff
Cons: a bit too light portions if not full menu taken

Touted les Couleurs - Edit
My other half and I had the 3 course menu and shared a pichet of wine. Our meal came to €65.00.
My starter was smoked lentil pate and my other half had raw crudités.
My main was the warm salad and my other half had the raw salad.
For dessert I had a baked apple type thing and my other half had raw cheeze.
The food was delicious. Presented with much detail and love. Each carrot slice was cut into a daisy shape. They serve a variety of different leafy greens. Food takes a while so don't be in a rush. My only criticism is I would have liked more food.
Pros: Organic , Tasty, All vegan
Cons: Service is slow, Portions could be more generous , Wise to make a reservation

Organic, fresh and choices for vegan - Edit
Toutes les couleurs is one of the few places in Lyon where you can eat vegan really easily. The food is organic and fresh, well presented and original. About 3/4 of the menu is vegan. The place is really cute and the staff is friendly. Prices are maybe a little bit too high but they are not unreasonable considering products quality. Had a three course meal for 25 euros.
Pros: organic and fresh food, vegan choices including desserts, friendly staff and nice place
Cons: a little expensive

Sustainable, seasonal, organic...but just alright - Edit
I booked a table for one (boo hoo) and headed along one lunchtime (10/8/13) to check this place out. It looks great with its stone walls and soft lighting and it's a decent size and located in the fashionable Croix Rousse. I ordered three courses and started with a cabbage 'caviar' (of which I'll try to upload a picture) which came presented as a round moulded substance accompanied by bread. Unfortunately it was just a bit watery and not flavoursome enough for my liking. Next was a civet. Not the animal - although traditionally the gastronomic civet was animal flesh cooked in animal blood - but vegetables cooked in red wine. This was a bit ordinary for me and depended in the flavour of the wine, which I didn't really like, and was otherwise just plain veges. For dessert I had a vanilla verrine, a layered dessert served in a glass, with a granola. This was pretty nice and not overly sweet. I had also ordered coffee (with rice milk) - which was fair trade (yay!) - but unfortunately it was lukewarm.The staff here were lovely but the food for me was only average and the price was a bit higher than I'd have wanted.
Pros: Seasonal, organic, Fair trade coffee, Lovely atmosphere
Cons: Average food, Cold coffee, A tad overpriced

Ok - Edit
Interesting spot althought it's difficult to reach it. No place at on-street parking.
The food was good but not very special. The vegetarian menu were better than vegan, but it's only my opinion.
Staff was very friendly.
The toilet has a door with an opaque window, I felt quite uncomfortable.

Very good but expensive - Edit
I went there for dinner so the menu is more expensive,
and portions are small.
I will go there for lunch next time as quality was really perfect and vegan restaurants are soooo rare in France!
Pros: good food, location, vegan meals
Cons: high price for dinner, small portions

worth the walk up the hill - Edit
I was in Lyon for only a couple of days for work and tried this restaurant based on the reviews on happy cow. About half way up the hill (walking from hotel de ville) I considered turning back, but there was no doubt after eating that it was worth the steep hill climb.
On the night I went they had a set menu of four courses matched with three wines. The theme was 'without cooking' Entree (marinated zucchini) and cold soups (cucumber and melon) were served together with a nice dry rose. I found the melon soup a little bit challenging at first as the sweeter flavours are something I would normally associate with dessert. The main was a lentil tart with bean shoot salad, which I enjoyed a lot. My only complaint for the evening would be that the red wine paired with this course was too heavy for the dish. Desert was a gatteuax with a crunchy chocolatey base topped with seasonal fruits.
The staff spoke good English and the service was quick, although there weren't many customers when I arrived.
Pros: delicious, good service, english speaking
Cons: wine matching could have been better, up a steep hiil

Great for vegans - Edit
Although Toutes les couleurs is a vegetarian restaurant, the vegan options are many and clearly indicated. We had a delicious and fresh dinner here, but the service was slow! Be patient, the food should be worth it.

vegetarian picasso - Edit
The food here was full of flavour with elaborate presentation. Each dish was clearly marked as vegan/vegetarian. A nice relaxed setting to dine in.
The price is a bit expensive but they have a range of mains that vary considerably in price.
Pros: very tasty food, nice presentation, relaxed atmosphere
Cons: a bit expensive, slowish service

Toutes Les Couleurs - Edit
Toutes Les Couleurs was a bit of a disappointment after reading the previous Happy Cow reviews. I ordered a Plat Gourmande for 16 Euro and all I got was a small, simple, but admittedly good-looking salad, with some sourkraut in a small bowl. For that price I could have eaten twice at Soline.
I did not help either that it took staff 5-10 minutes to acknowledge my presence, in spite of there being six people in the restuarant.
Pros: Relatively central
Cons: Pricey, Unattentive staff

Nice place for veggies - Edit
It was a nice experience to dine in there.The chef is so help full that she tried to explain the whole menu in English though she was not fluent .It is better to know french to enjoy completely.
The food was interesting and new . They change the menu every week.It is a good place for vegetarians who wanted to try new dishes.
I would suggest to try and enjoy the experience.

Vegetarian Haute Cuisine - Edit
What I love about this restaurant is that I eat things that I would never think to make at home. For example, I once ordered a dish served with red cabbage and chocolate sauce! Even though I'm not a big cabbage fan, I do love chocolate and I was so intrigued I had to try. It was delicious!
The menu here is always changing, so you're unlikely to ever have the same thing twice, especially because the chef uses local, seasonal organic produce. If you order the menu you can make a choice between usually 3 different appetizers, entrées, and desserts. The entrée is what determines the price, since some are fancier than others. Last time I had a polenta millefeuille which was delicious and very interesting - nothing I had ever seen before. When I go here I feel like I'm really eating out, trying new things, and actually having 'cuisine.' Which is especially nice in France, since vegetarians don't have a lot of options, and most veggie restaurants serve the same kind of thing of would make myself.
For me toutes les couleurs is a gastronomic treat(and since it's a little on the pricey side, it's definitely a splurge). Because the menu is always changing, some of the chef's attempts are more successful than others. But I know it's always going to be interesting, and I know I'll be able to try something new. And the the best part is that it's open on weekend nights, so I can go out to dinner with my sweetie!
The decor is really funky too, and in summer they have a little patio in the back. They have a range of organic drinks as well, and vegan options are clearly marked. And they have a little organic boutique where you can buy things likes spices and whatnot.
Definitely a place to check out!
Pros: inventive food, healthy and organic, nice ambiancea
Cons: a bit pricey

Incredible! (But French fluency recommended :o) - Edit
My wife and I dined here with two good friends and their 3-month old boy. We all agreed that it was one of the most delightful meals we have ever experienced. The chef was kind, patient (we were late!), and very helpful. She even brought a box of toys for the baby! Food was not only delicious but also artfully prepared. The ambiance was also wonderful...a mixture of funky and quaint. One of us spoke French well, and that really helped, but the chef was very patient with us, and I bet you could get by in only English too. If you are looking for a grand culinary adventure surrounded by old world charm, this is a dream come true!
Pros: excellent food, presentation, ambiance
Cons: a bit of an uphill climb, only in Lyon!

Excellent restaurant-- take your non-veg friends! - Edit
I took an omnivore friend here and he said it was one of the best meals he's ever had, veggie or not. There was a big group at another table having a great time, and the staff was so welcoming and helpful, we didn't feel like tourists at all. Everything was so fresh and flavorful, but also creative and unusual. The restaurant is cozy/funky.
Pros: excellent food, helpful staff, cute decor

Out of this world! - Edit
Spent three days in Lyon and had dinner there twice. The first night it was literally the best meal I have had in my life. The menu changes daily. There are usually 2 vegan and 2 vegetarian set menus. The second night the dinner was good but not excellent.Waitress was sensational. Chef brought food to the table. Couldn't recommend the restaurant any more highly.
Pros: excellent food, wonderful staff
Cons: none
