Café Des Artisans, Bouchon De Murielle sur Lyon

Thank you for the warm, genuine, and heartfelt welcome we received. The atmosphere is filled with the shared memories, a sense of timelessness that invites us to slow down and appreciate our surroundings. It's the kind of place you already miss the moment you leave. The food was delicious, generous, and unpretentious. Truly good food. I wholeheartedly recommend it to those who appreciate the finer things in life and seek hidden gems, far from the hustle and bustle of soulless restaurants. Because if there's one thing you truly feel at Café des Artisans, it's the soul of the place. You'll be back, that's for sure! All the best, Muriel, and your team.

This is a truly authentic Lyonnais bouchon, far removed from the tourist traps. An exceptional encounter with Muriel and very generous portions.

There are restaurants where you reserve a table. And then there are those where, without even planning it, you reserve your entire afternoon. 12:45 p.m. On the corner of a street and the charming Impasse des Lutins, we push open the door of Muriel's bouchon. She looks at us, sizes us up: tourists passing through in search of Lyon's local color, or true bon vivants? She seems to have passed the test. The cuisine is generous, Lyonnais, without any fuss. But the real menu is Muriel. Her life, her encounters, her troubles, her memories. We talk, we eat, we drink, we remake Lyon and then the world. We leave at 4 p.m. A true bouchon isn't just about quenelles, checkered tablecloths, or Punch and Judy. It needs a soul. And a Muriel like that can't be manufactured.

Worth checking out :-) especially the owner!

The delightful surprise of a single, delicious, generous, and affordable menu. And Muriel's story to discover...

Muriel, the grandmother, cooks, serves, chats, and jokes readily. A small, authentic bistro that's a must-see.
