The restaurant is decorated very well, and the ingredients are very fresh; the presentation of the food is nice. In addition, the staff is very sweet and friendly.
However, we found the food extremely bland and without flavor. My friends have been vegan for years, and we often cook together; we use many different oils, vinegars, spices, herbs, and even salt and pepper for flavors.
This food was mostly raw, and I doubt it even had salt added to it. It is so easy to give simple fresh ingredients flavor, and having been to a number of vegan and vegetarian restaurants across Europe, the US, and India, I was severely disappointed by this one. Even a simple salad needs dressing, and my plate had none. My friends had a dish with cabbage that came with a very tiny bit of sauce, but not enough to complement the flavorless cabbage. The raw vegetable appetizer also had no herbs or spices and just tasted like someone had chopped some carrots.
I am not sure if we arrived on an off day or what, but unless they can add some flavor to the food, I would recommend finding an Asian, Mexican, or other restaurant to eat vegan in Lyon.
