La Gargotte sur Lyon

A wonderful discovery! A very refined and generous meal! Honestly, you absolutely must try it!

A restaurant worth discovering. Impeccable service, delicious food. A truly original decor.

Delicious menu and cozy atmosphere. Friendly service.

I was starting to worry about the reputation of Lyon as the foodie capital & then we dined here. The food, the service & the ambience were all at a high standard. Our starters of salmon & octopus/scallop were delicious. The mains of cod in a foam sauce & risotto with truffles were very interesting & beautifully presented. The chocolate dessert was infused with apple liqueur. We loved it. The dry white wine the waiter suggested was 👌. The chef came out & personally introduced himself to us. This is what dining in France is all about.

An intimate atmosphere, beautifully presented dishes, and delicious food—a real treat. The waiter was very pleasant, and the chef came to serve us and chat, which was lovely. We had a wonderful time together.

I had a wonderful meal here that surpassed expectations. They offer a “complete” menu of appetizer, entree and dessert, or you can order two of the three (and maybe à la carte). I did the complete, and each course was fantastic. The gravlax salmon appetizer was fresh, with a flavorful chèvre, greens and a dressing with a hint of orange. The vegetable risotto was as beautiful in appearance as it was in taste. Dessert was equally amazing.

What a great find! Thank you to Yvan for his authenticity and friendliness! We enjoyed our time there and the value for money is excellent!

OMG, I never heard of this place before, how could I miss this. Have been in many places in Lyon, this one is in the top 10. Hospitality 1000% and the food was amazing, so well cooked and plated. Cozy atmosphere. TOP!

A pleasant surprise, but... The dishes were truly excellent, with a delicious and generous foie gras starter, followed by perfectly cooked chuck roast and its accompaniments, delicately prepared fish, and finally, very high-quality desserts. Congratulations to the chef and his staff! But there was a "but"... Unfortunately, we encountered a service that day that was overwhelmed, or perhaps unaccustomed to the profession. Indeed, we sensed the young man who greeted us in the upstairs dining room was lost in his role. Taking our order was already difficult: "For an aperitif, we ordered two kirs, and the waiter only offered us blackcurrant kir, served in a digestif glass 🤔🤪, while a few minutes later another waiter was offering several flavors at the next table. Anyway... Then the starter arrived (perfect). We waited and waited and waited for the main course (about 45 minutes). We were completely forgotten, and after a while, we had to ask for it, and The same thing happened again with dessert, which somewhat spoiled the evening. We arrived first in the upstairs room at 8:30 pm and were the last to leave at 11:20 pm (for a starter, a main course, and a dessert). Of course, we politely mentioned it when paying, but there was no reaction or apology from anyone. It's a real shame, because, as I said, the food is truly excellent.

We dined at this restaurant with friends from Turkey, and everyone was delighted! The menu is original, the cuisine is haute cuisine, and the chef is excellent in every way. We highly recommend it.
