We dropped in, not knowing anything about vegan food and had delicious, hearty, and filling soups. The menu was in French and English but the proprietor spent many years in Montreal so we also learned quite a bit about vegan cuisine, as well (in English). The ambience and friendliness was exceptional and a nice 'find' amongst more traditional establishments--definitely worth a visit!

Ce café-épicerie à ouvert ses portes à Vichy en 2010, dans une magnifique maison du XVème siècle, au coeur du vieux quartier St Blaise. Sous une même enseigne se trouve regroupés un espace café, encas et pâtisseries, une épicerie fine internationale et un petit espace cadeau-librairie. Les mets servis à toute heure, sont simples autant que copieux, alors que les recettes "maison" mettent en scène des pays aussi divers que la Belgique, la Corse, l'Espagne, l'Inde, l'Italie, le Liban, le Québec, la Russie... KECK'S Café a choisi de travailler dès 2012 avec Chocolates Brescò, une chocolaterie familiale du Nord de l'Espagne (Huesca) produisant depuis 1875, un excellent chocolat artisanal, avec lequel nous élaborons des chocolats chauds, froids, grands cafés et mousse... Le "Chocolate a la Piedra®" s'inspire du "Cacauhaa" des Mayas, consommé à l'origine pour des fins thérapeutiques ou lors de rituels, 500 ans av. J.C. KECK'S Café est également à l'origine de la création du CHOC' HOLA VICHY ! un chocolat noir de dégustation, fabriqué par un maître-chocolatier espagnol. Sans conchage, ni raffinage et sans ajout de lait, de gluten, de lécithine de soja ou d'additif chimique, ce chocolat d'apparence brute, présente une exceptionnelle texture sablonneuse fondante, avec de très fins éclats de Pastilles de Vichy...

The Flammkuchen is nothing more than dough baked in an open-fire oven with toppings. Sounds like pizza? Yes, but with no tomatoes. As for the desserts, they were somewhat tasty but really nothing more. The advantage of this restaurant is that it is really one of the very few in the neighborhood. When you think that they are across the street from one of Lyon's popular cinemas, I can't explain why they are not open at the week-end when most people go to the movies and would love to grab a bite afterwards.

It is probably the most artistically decorated cafe we encountered in Lyon, short of the great grand Art Deco of Brasserie Georges. This is more intimate and more striking. The motif is lush vegetation, painted on to an olive green background. Green on green. The vegetation swirls in every direction in graceful curls. Cafe Charmant is in a not very charmant neighborhood, the immediate environs of Gare Oullins, a functional boxy modern train station with all the architectural beauty of a highway intersection. The buildings around it are uninspired modern apartments or somewhat industrial looking offices. In this grim suburban setting, Cafe Charmant is an oasis for the eyes and for the soul. My suspicion is that the food is just as good as the decor, But you will have to find that out for yourself.

The life for many young and Brivadois so young, too, seemed to organize compared to the days of opening of Saint-Lau. On Monday we were going elsewhere, Grand Café said Grand Caf ', adjoining.

Now, I can hardly stop myself too far, but I will not be surprised to learn that others have taken the place of each and each. Youth does not die, nor in form nor in its rites!
