Soleil Levant sur Lyon

Our favorite Japanese restaurant. We've been coming here since it opened! The tempura is exceptional, and the rest is the best Japanese food you can find in Lyon since the very classy Sakura closed many years ago, sadly. Personally, I always get the Rising Sun menu, which is very comprehensive. But the à la carte menu is also very extensive.

A wonderful discovery! Warm welcome and excellent food!

Another visit to Soleil Levant in Lyon's 3rd arrondissement, at 204 rue Garibaldi, and just as delightful as ever. This restaurant is a true Lyon institution, and for good reason. You're always greeted with a smile by the chef and his wife, who put their heart and soul into their work. This time, I chose the Évasion menu: delicious gyoza as a starter, incredibly fresh sashimi as a main course with traditional Miso Shiru soup, and then three scoops of sorbet (mango, lemon, and coconut), the perfect way to finish this excellent meal. As with every visit, the ingredients are fresh, the dishes are prepared with care, and the flavors are exceptional. It's always a pleasure to return to this iconic restaurant. If you're in Lyon this summer, don't miss this must-try. Whether you're a local or a tourist, you'll discover authentic Japanese cuisine, prepared with passion, in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Many thanks to the chef and his wife for their hospitality and expertise. See you very soon.
