Grand Café Prefecture sur Lyon

A brasserie that's a real treat. A splendid setting, a delightful team, and a manager—Antoine—whose warm and attentive welcome deserves special mention. Smooth service, exceptional kindness, and delicious food. A place that warms the heart and that I recommend without hesitation.

100% recommended! My favorite restaurant in Lyon!

Thank you to the very pretty waitress for allowing me to wait for my train until 6:00 PM.

We held our post-civil wedding reception (at the end of June), and we were delighted from beginning to end. The service was top-notch for our guests, the food was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was very friendly. Thomas and his team helped make our day truly wonderful!

If you’re visiting Lyon and looking for a café with outstanding service and a wonderful atmosphere, this is the place to go. What truly made this café special was the incredible customer service. The staff were exceptionally friendly, dedicated, and genuinely cared about making every guest happy. They were even willing to customize drinks and food based on personal preferences, even if it wasn’t exactly listed on the menu. That level of flexibility and care is something you rarely find. The café itself was spotless. Every single table was perfectly clean without a single mark or crumb in sight. The indoor air conditioning made it a comfortable place to relax, especially on a warm day. The view is another highlight. From the café you can enjoy a beautiful view of a castle with the French flag proudly flying, creating a truly authentic French atmosphere. The interior design is stylish, modern, and full of French charm. One detail I especially loved was the creative artwork featuring the number “69”—a fun and memorable touch that fits Lyon perfectly. The location is also excellent. Right nearby there’s a casino if you’re in the mood for some entertainment after your coffee, as well as a clothing store if you’d like to do a bit of shopping. I would recommend this café to absolutely everyone—tourists, locals, families, friends, couples, and honestly anyone looking for a great place to relax. If cafés could be rated by every species, I’m sure even birds, rabbits, cows, and chameleons would give this place five stars. Overall, this café combines exceptional service, a beautiful atmosphere, immaculate cleanliness, stunning views, and an excellent location. Without a doubt, it’s one of the places I’ll make sure to visit again the next time I’m in Lyon

Good coffee and great service, such a nice and accommodating barista!

My wife forced me to eat brunch against my will, and honestly, it's the first time in my life I've ever really enjoyed a brunch! I highly recommend it; everything was delicious, varied, and fresh, and we received a very warm welcome!

A bar worth rediscovering, great atmosphere especially for the matches 🇫🇷!
