Cafe Lobut sur Villeurbanne

As soon as we stepped through the door, we found ourselves in the heart of a true Lyonnais bistro... checkered tablecloths, puppets on the walls, waiters in aprons, generous and convivial cuisine... authentic Lyonnais fare. The tripe dish was exceptional. Thank you for your warm welcome and for the delicious meal. See you very soon!

Always excellent. A real pleasure every time. The profiteroles with pistachio ice cream are to die for. The Lyonnaise platter is also very good as a starter. The daily special is simple but delicious tripe. Whenever I can, I eat at this restaurant and I'm never disappointed. What's really great is that everyone mingles in this magical place, from bankers to house painters, dentists to electricians. It's definitely worth a visit. Reservations are recommended.

A must-try Lyonnais bistro Reservations required

An evening full of flavor with beautifully prepared frog legs in a menu reserved for Fridays, not to be missed for frog lovers.

A wonderful, friendly, and warm time. Many thanks for the delicious meals. All the best. Traveling Ardèche locals.

This is a very niche, local spot with a lot of character. The menu is quite small, so it’s definitely worth checking it in advance before heading there, especially since their grenouilles (frog legs) are only served on Friday nights. The food was good overall, but it’s the kind of cuisine that can be a bit of an acquired taste, especially if you’re not already familiar with traditional Lyonnaise dishes. As for the cervelle de canut, I’d definitely recommend ordering it alongside the main dishes rather than having it at the end as a cheese or dessert it works much better that way. Also worth noting, the service was on the slower side, so best to come with a bit of patience. I’d say this place is best suited for those who have already explored most of the classic Lyonnaise specialties and are looking to try something a bit more authentic and off the beaten path.

Fancy a good andouillette? This is the right place.

This lunchtime, we had the pleasure of dining at L’Obus in Villeurbanne. Normally, you need to book about a week in advance, but arriving without a reservation, the waiter went above and beyond to find us a table immediately. And wow… what an experience! Everything you expect from a true Lyonnais bouchon was there: authentic, generous, and delicious cuisine. The owner is truly lovely, the welcome is warm, and the entire team takes care of the customers with an attentiveness that is sadly becoming increasingly rare. In short, an exceptional place that I recommend without hesitation. And one thing is for sure: every time we're in Lyon, we'll be back to L’Obus. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

The service was too slow. Otherwise, a good welcome.

Overrated bistro. Okay, nothing special. Small portions. Dry ravioli. Average desserts: flambéed banana (not flambéed), average floating island, chocolate cake.
