Hooray for a fresh salad bar down the street from my house! Oh, also it's air conditioned, in case you were wondering. (Did someone say 'canticule'?) It's the same model as the place that was here before: you pick a base of salad, pasta, quinoa, etc, then you add four ingredients to it. Choose a sauce and decide if you want to add a piece of bread (for 40 cents) or a dessert and/or a drink.
I had a base of mixed greens with smoked tofu(!), soy sprouts, grilled eggplant, and fresh tomatoes. My sauce was olive oil and lemon juice and I said "yes" when they asked if I wanted sesame seeds on top. The Badoit I had with it brought the price up to 10,90€ - a little pricey for a salad and drink but not outrageous for Lyon. I was definitely full afterwards so that was good too. The ambiance is casual and it's a bus-your-own-tray-afterwards type of place.
Mark this one under "tasty" and "good for vegans", which is pretty impressive for Lyon! read more
