Les Dimanches chez Lou

Les Dimanches chez Lou is a botanical café and plant shop in Lyon’s Monplaisir district, bringing together seasonal vegetarian cooking and a leafy urban setting. Open Wednesday through Sunday, it serves homemade meals prepared with fresh, local, seasonal ingredients. The menu changes weekly, with lunch and brunch offerings shared on Instagram; weekend brunch is also highlighted. Guests can reserve a table or enjoy food and coffee to take away.

The café follows eco-conscious practices, excluding meat and sourcing fruit and vegetables from local producers, with a focus on the Rhône-Alpes region. It works to reduce food waste by planning quantities carefully and offering surplus dishes through Too Good To Go when available. Reusable returnable containers are used for takeaway food and drinks to help limit packaging waste. The kitchen also aims to accommodate different dietary needs, including vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. Alongside its food and drinks, Les Dimanches chez Lou offers plants and creates a welcoming space for café visits, brunches and workshops.
