Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Rhone

23/05/2026: Honestly, if you're looking for a place to have a terrible night out, Le 42 in Lyon is the place to go. The atmosphere is so lifeless you can practically hear the ice melting in your drinks. The decor, all dark, old wood, is incredibly outdated; it looks like a bar stuck in 2002. Between the lifeless music and the atmosphere of a condo owners' meeting on a Monday morning, it's hard to imagine anything less welcoming.

05/04/2026: It's probably a good bar, but the clientele leaves completely drunk and keeps us awake for 3 to 4 hours. There's no regulation or management of these people who shout, smoke, and fight, like again last night...

12/01/2026: A rustic restaurant with attentive service, but whose dishes remain simple and lack real originality. For lovers of refined gastronomy or new flavors, this is not the ideal place.

07/01/2026: Disappointed with the setting, but the homemade food and fresh ingredients were top-notch. However, a major disappointment: the heating broke down, so we had to eat in the bar area with fan heaters 🙄. We weren't informed of the problem. It's a shame, because the main dining room is really nice. We'll definitely go back.

06/03/2026: Great owner, very friendly, don't trust the reviews. Restaurant and bar definitely worth trying.

02/03/2026: More than satisfactory! It's one of the rare times they've cooked the meat exactly as I wanted it (very, very well done) and I haven't had to send my dish back to the kitchen! On top of that, everything was delicious! Thank you!

17/03/2026: We spent one night at the Hôtel L’Ermitage, and frankly, the current 3.9/5 rating on Google doesn't reflect our experience. We had booked the Belvédère room, which offers an absolutely incredible view of the Monts d’Or and Lyon. The setting is calm, peaceful, and truly magnificent—a real haven of tranquility. Upon arrival, we had a drink on the restaurant terrace, bathed in sunshine: a very pleasant way to start our stay. We then had the relaxation area to ourselves, allowing us to truly unwind, exactly what we were looking for. In the evening, we dined at the hotel restaurant: excellent cuisine, discreet and pleasant service. We had a wonderful evening. The next morning, breakfast was a very pleasant surprise: a well-organized buffet with a high-quality savory selection (which is quite rare and worth mentioning), featuring organic and seasonal products. The desserts were also excellent: pastries, delicious bread, praline brioche, organic products, and a superb homemade pear compote. We were able to enjoy the relaxation area one last time before our departure. The early check-out before noon is a real plus, allowing you to fully enjoy the morning. Of course, having a professional eye for the restaurant industry ourselves, we noticed a few imperfections, particularly regarding the cleanliness of the relaxation area (chewing gum and hair were found on the edge of the jacuzzi upon our arrival, and these hadn't been cleaned up by our departure). The facilities also show some signs of age. However, this didn't spoil our stay in any way. The staff was lovely from beginning to end, and the overall experience remains very positive. We loved our stay, so kudos to the team, and we will most likely be back next month.

14/03/2026: Quite disappointed by this otherwise well-known hotel. The reception wasn't very welcoming; the person was on the phone for at least five minutes without telling us they'd be there in a few minutes. The room was nice enough, but the floor wasn't clean, there was only one large towel for two people, and no phone to contact reception. The pool is tiny, with just two sun loungers practically next to each other, water everywhere, and no one to even mop it up. The spa was very nice! Breakfast was very good with a magnificent view, but forget about a friendly welcome and a smile from the staff—they must not be paid for that! Would I recommend it? No! There are so many better options elsewhere for the same price.

06/04/2026: Hello, on Easter Sunday I ate at the Brasserie du Théâtre des grenouilles parsillées (parsleyed frogs' legs), they were frankly undercooked, not parsleyed at all, and the fries were burnt... Goodbye dish, or change your cook...

24/03/2026: Appalling service. The waitress kept telling anyone who would listen that she was a substitute to justify her incompetence (it was the start of service, the terrace was almost empty, yet already packed). Substitute or not, I don't think it's acceptable to tell customers "this isn't McDonald's" when they've already made their choices about their food, even though she's taking their drink orders. Obviously, we changed restaurants and won't be returning.

03/05/2026: Great brasserie, very friendly owner, we'll be back!

25/04/2026: The boss is a bit of a nutcase... disrespectful and unpleasant... he should probably change careers... a word to the wise...

19/05/2026: The restaurant is very clean and the food is excellent. I don't understand why people say it's industrial... It's a traditional restaurant and has everything you need, from aperitifs to wine and coffee, and the simple yet delicious cuisine is a real treat. I highly recommend it.

04/05/2026: The owner is certainly well-fed, but not the customers. Avoid this place! The cheapest warm goat cheese salad was soaked in inedible industrial salad dressing, and the steak frites were frozen with expired mustard, all for €16.

09/05/2026: Tasteless food. Staff not particularly friendly either. A shame, given the beautiful setting.

20/04/2026: Response to the owner: "It is regrettable that your only line of defense is to question the veracity of my experience rather than examining the quality of your service. Contempt isn't something that can be stored in archives; it's experienced in the moment. Receiving a mediocre coffee is one thing, but being met with the aggressive response, 'Sorry, it's the best I can do,' when expressing disappointment is quite another. This isn't defamation; it's an observation of a lack of professionalism. 'A friendly atmosphere' isn't something you claim in a Google response; it's something you demonstrate in the dining room. Instead of brandishing legal terms to intimidate a dissatisfied customer, you should ensure that rudeness and a dismissive tone are no longer the norm when faced with a simple technical comment. The smile and professionalism you mention were simply not present. My review is proof of that."

29/04/2026: Ideally located. Very friendly staff. A pleasant place to stay.

23/04/2026: The rooms are fairly modest but equipped with all modern comforts, ideally located with parking right outside the door. The restaurant is good, and the service is pleasant and professional. A full breakfast is included. Ideal for travelers passing through, close to the motorway exit.

21/04/2026: A friendly place, a very warm welcome, and a very nice team. A little moment out of time.

06/04/2026: I waited in line for over 20 minutes for a hazelnut served with cold milk and not even a small chocolate on the side, all for €2.50. What a shame for such a charming place... Money is money!!!

15/04/2026: A very pleasant break in the sun with a view of Fourvière, lovely food, very clean restrooms. A delightful stop.

09/04/2026: No effort was made, which is a shame.

16/03/2026: Excellent customer service. The saleswoman was proactive, friendly, and offered good advice.

12/03/2026: Friendly welcome, always a touch of humor, knowledgeable about their products, good team 😉😊

18/04/2026: I highly recommend it! Two very lovely young women at reception, very helpful, attentive, and always smiling. I will definitely be back!

18/04/2026: Had a great time at the ice rink, not too crowded, very smooth flow. However, the welcome was a bit disappointing: the person there wasn't very friendly or welcoming. Would do it again.

24/04/2026: We were really disappointed, having followed the advice of others. The sea bream was poor quality, swimming in oil, and served with only three small pieces of vegetables, with no starchy side dish. The desserts, however, were very good.

15/04/2026: This duck tartare with those spicy sauces was a pure delight! Thank you
