La Tornade Blonde sur Lyon

A great spot for locals to enjoy home-style cooking, run by a typical Lyonnaise owner. A nice, quiet little place on the peninsula. No fools allowed!

A charming and welcoming place, as is its wonderful owner Mado, who was immediately very friendly with our group. The atmosphere reminds me of a time I didn't have the chance to experience. Mado is like a second mother to me now, to the point that I'm considering moving to Lyon to prolong this feeling. Simply exceptional.

A very friendly Lyonnais bistro. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is great. Mado is a well-known figure in Lyon's gastronomic scene, appreciated by all the culinary brotherhoods in Lyon and the surrounding region. I highly recommend it.

For a traditional Lyonnais bistro, this is it. Simple but hearty and delicious food. Relaxed atmosphere. OL fans, come on match day!

We were welcomed without a reservation without the slightest problem. Mado, "The Blonde Tornado," will push the boundaries to seat you no matter what. No menu! The typical daily specials, in the culinary style you expect and hope for in this kind of establishment, are all in your head. One problem: everything looks tempting!!! And whatever you choose, it's absolutely delicious, and very likely all homemade!!! And really inexpensive. As soon as I go back to Lyon, I'll make it a point to show this place to anyone who wants to come with me. Go without hesitation, and with your mouth watering...
