I found Tan restaurant on Happycow and went in for lunch. I was very disappointed. First, the menu was all in French. I asked if there was an English menu and the answer was no. I asked if the waitress could translate it for me and she said that doesn't have time for that and asked me what I wanted to eat. I said I was looking for something vegan. She said there is only one vegan option. I ordered it. Second problem is that there is no wireless internet access for customers. Finally, the serving was small. It was tasty, but extremely small. I paid about 20 EUR for lunch and left the restaurant hungry. Luckily, I found a street market on the nearby street and bought some fruits and pastry to satisfy my appetite. In conclusion, bad service, small servings and expensive. Not recommended.

The portions were not large, but they were sufficient (we tend to overeat anyway). I was able to request an English menu and was assisted in English. I inquired about the vegetarian options and was given a clear explanation of how the ingredients were prepared. I will definitely return to this restaurant.

We had a great vegan meal, while our non-vegan friends enjoyed their fish and meat dishes. Tan is a wonderful place where vegans and non-vegans can dine together.
