The 24 Best Restaurants In Lyon - Lyon - The Infatuation

"This 100% vegan cornerside spot manages to serve up the butteriest-tasting pain au chocolat in the city, and the vanilla flan would fool any purist capable of sussing out a single drop of sweetened condensed milk. There’s a couch and a handful of tables in the bright dining room, but the spacious outdoor patio is where you want to be—there are two levels with bistro tables, where a pedestrian path running along the side of the building makes for great people-watching. While “vegan” is often synonymous with “inflated prices,” a croissant here costs no more than in a regular bakery, and the coffee is some of the cheapest in town. Be sure to grab founder Louise Rogelet’s vegan cookbook on the way out." - anna richards
