Cute little place which got crowded for lunch--the wraps and bowls were already sold Out when we arrived so be sure to get there early. A short walk from the resistance museum if you're visiting. Recommend for a healthy and delicious lunch.

Soup was gazpacho - tomato and cucumber. The toddler loved the banana bread. SO ordered the salad and it proved worthy and she's a hard one to please. Loved the fact that they had non-dairy based milk for my mocaccino. Service was excellent! So friendly. Highly recommend putting a book mark on this one.

I have cycled past Au Clair de Lune many times when heading to town from campus. From outside it…read morepromised an alternative dining scene, as confirmed by its presence on the happycow database. It's pretty tucked away, on a street just off notre dame which seems pretty dedicated to associations, fairtrade shops and restaurants with good ethics. Au clair de lune is an organic restaurant, boasting vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Inside there are not many places to sit, and all are usually taken at lunch time.. It's a popular place! Apparently during the warmer summer months there is seating available outside, around the back of the building. The interior is very rustic with many interesting eco-friendly seeming decorations, many of which are recycled. There are few choices and the opening times are limited (11.45-2.30 monday-saturday, evenings closed apart from group bookings) but this restaurant wins in that it is ethical and boasts good quality ingredients and imaginative preparations. It is therefore hardly surprising that Au Clair de Lune is popular and requires a reservation. I ordered the only remaining vegetarian option alongside 3 of my friends, the other one ordered fish cooked in coconut milk. The vegetarian dish consisted of a slice of polenta topped with ratatouille, roasted pumpkin, served with a salad (too bitter for me, I didn't like it so my boyfriend finished it off), a lentil puree, hummus, red cabbage. It was delicious, though I could have easily have eaten more. We all opted for the pudding, three of us taking the gluten free chestnut flour chocolate fondant with a hint of orange, the other taking the lemon tart, as recommended by the chef. Apparently there was a game, "guess the secret ingredient". None of us could guess, and it turned out that it was tarragon. It was nice to have a little dining challenge and some friendly none-invasive interaction with the manager of the restaurant towards the end of our meal. The prices were very reasonable, I payed 12 euros for the main and pudding. Recommended.

Yum! I finally got to try Soline with a friend! I had a bouillabaisse with fennel and carrots,…read moreserved with rice and a side salad. A real side salad with multiple vegetables! And for dessert I had a piece of pear & almond tart - vegan and gluten free. It was all very good. My friend had a chickpea tajine that was a little spicy and served with couscous. I only had a taste but it certainly left me wanting more. I really like that this place exists and is so close to my house. I do wish they were open for evenings and weekends though. (They do serve dinner Monday - Friday but it's by reservation only.)

I'm torn between three and four stars here... Soline kinda deserves four stars just for being a…read morevegetarian restaurant in Lyon! The food is nice and it's organic, the service is friendly. It's more of a cafeteria than a restaurant but that's ok. But the food is after all just nice and nothing one couldn't make at home. It might deserve four stars for veggie-deprived France but for more vegetarian-friendly countries (i.e. anywhere but France) it's a bit disappointing, it misses the twist and some innovation. The prices range from around ten Euros for a big salad to nineteen for a set menu that includes starter, main and dessert, which I find a bit steep for what you get. So like my star dilemma, not sure if I'll go back despite everything that it has going for it.

Everyone who has ever reviewed this place for Yelp has given the place five stars…read more I am giving the place five stars. Do you see a trend here? * * * Like an Elephant is an insanely good vegan restaurant. There are vegan cartoons all over the restaurant. The print is fine so it takes some examination to see them all and get all the jokes. The place is very small making this a tough reservation to get. The menu is even smaller. Three choices of entree. Three choices of main course - one of which is always a vegan burger. Two choices of dessert. You frankly won't need anything else in this world. * * * A staple of Jewish vegetable cooking is a tsimmes. This is a stewed dish with carrots, apricots and lots of other orange fruits and vegetables. Like an Elephant turns this concept into a soup. Carrot veloute with apricots and subtle spices. Never have I been so in love with a carrot. Although frankly, the apricots were doing a whole lot of the talking. * * * My lovely wife had the mushroom risotto with lemon. She was head over heels in love. I had the vegan burger of the day. The burger was insanely good. Zucchini has never been put to better use. But the strange magic of the dish was their alternative to French Fries. These were plain ordinary potato wedges sauteed in olive oil, and vegan butter The same "home fries" concept you would get at an Alabama diner. But when the olive oil is really really good, and the vegan butter is better than butter from a cow ... And the potatoes have lots and lots and lots of olive oil and vegan butter ... Now you are looking at pure and unadulterated decadence. Veggie burger plates are usually just okay. This was the veggie burger and fries of midnight dreams. * * * Desserts were variations on a theme of panna cotta. It however was not the spartan desserts of good-for-you vegetables-are-for-suffering pious-vegan restaurants. These were sensuous and pleasant. But I was like a man who had found true love-making happiness And was out-like-a-light in a deep post-romantic slumber. The dessert was there, but I barely remember it * * * Magical Burger Magical Fries Magical Burger Magical Fries. And every single one of them was a healthy vegetable.
