100% bio 100% gourmand!


If you are fortunate enough to be exploring Lyon, from Presqu'île walk up the steep Montée de la Grande Côte (be sure to stop in the various galleries and studios to check out the local art) to the Croix-Rousse area. Venture along Rue Imbert-Colomés while pausing to open random doors to explore the traboules (hidden passageways and courtyards) along the street. Then be sure to stop in Toutes les couleurs, a 100% vegan, organic restaurant that offers the tastiest, freshest produce in Lyon.

I requested a raw salad and Agnes the chef presented me with the above - sweet fennel, figs, beet root with ginger, two types of sprouts, grapes, radish, onion, baby zucchini, red cabbage, two types of lettuce - it was absolutely divine. For dessert I had fresh strawberries with a raspberry coulis made with agave syrup (none of the desserts use sugar).

In a city renowned for its charcuterie, this restaurant is a true find!
