Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Lyon

10/12/2025: Friday evening with the family. Let's be clear from the start, the setting doesn't do justice to the food. The restaurant is a narrow corridor full of uninspiring tables... A shame, especially for those eating by the door. As for the food itself, there's not much to complain about. A €40 set menu, even for children. This is clearly stated on the website, so no worries. The menu is tempting; it's hard to choose. In the end, both starters are excellent, with a very special mention for the black pudding cromesqui 😘 For the main course, the scallops with lentils are delicious. The duck tataki is less impressive; the dish lacks cohesion, particularly with the unnecessary marinated vegetables... The aged Morbier cheese is a delight. The desserts are very original and top-notch. A very good time and excellent value for money, with a pleasant team and a straightforward chef.

10/12/2025: The dishes offered were sophisticated and well-prepared; a very good restaurant.

06/12/2025: A lovely restaurant with a vintage atmosphere. The staff are welcoming and the service makes you feel right at home. The food is excellent and delicious. Everything is homemade.

05/12/2025: Excellent dinner, excellent quality meat, well-cooked. Fair prices, and the kitchen is open late. Highly recommended.

09/07/2025: We almost didn’t make it to this restaurant as L’Etage is hidden behind an old door, but we are so pleased we did. It was the highlight of our stay in Lyon and of our two week holiday in France. Guillame multi-tasks as the waiter, chef and raconteur. The food was exquisite, Michelin star worthy and we loved the choice of wines. Such an intimate space with only 6 tables and fabulous views out onto the square and fountain. We only had a 2 night stay in Lyon but learnt so much of the history from Guillame which really brought the city alive for us. We will be recommending to all our friends. Thankyou Guillame.

09/07/2025: Once again, L'Etage delighted us: an explosion of flavors and perfect service. Thanks to Nicolas and Chef G. Mallet.

20/08/2024: Friendly waiters, quick service, average daily special

19/08/2024: Coming from Malta, I came to discover the beautiful French landscapes, so I stopped in Lyon, to eat in this small restaurant, rather good value for money, I had the joy of being served by Cantain, a funny waiter , pleasant and responsive, I can only recommend!

10/12/2025: Not for every day but if you want something to remember definitely worth it!

05/12/2025: The cuisine was of a very high standard: a delicious foie gras medallion, succulent veal short rib and potato mousseline, followed by a chocolate fondant.

22/09/2024: Perfect service as usual, nothing to say, you can go there with your eyes closed

22/09/2024: It comes from the 94 heavy crazy smoothie clasik heavy French toast I highly recommend

02/01/2025: Really nice place, cozy atmosphere and fair prices. The food was really great, a great Lyonnais bouchon place. The set menu was really delicious. Definitely a great Lyonnais restaurant to try if you are in Lyon.

31/12/2024: I live in the United States, and my little brother lives in Lyon. During my visit after several years of absence in France, one of my wishes was to eat in a Lyonnais cork. My brother managed to get a reservation for 14 people. We were warmly welcomed. The food was delicious, and the service impeccable. Our children and teenagers also loved it. I recommend this restaurant 100%!

08/07/2025: We went with some friends to have lunch at this small but cozy restaurant and the truth is that it was a great success. The truth is that we chose this restaurant because there were vegan/vegetarian options since we are vegan. What can I say about the quality, incredible. Absolutely everything was delicious. We tried different dishes and each one was better than the other. Our waitress was very attentive at all times, very friendly and helpful. We sat on the terrace and it was very nice with a breeze. The bathrooms were also very clean. Incredible value for money.

30/06/2025: I recommend this restaurant. A wonderful discovery. Delicate cuisine. Friendly staff. Beautiful decor.

09/12/2025: A wonderful experience! The servers and chefs were very friendly! Everything was perfect 😀 We had the gnocchi with mushrooms and parmesan, and the beef tartare with foie gras—both excellent! We'll definitely be back.

08/12/2025: Excellent food and impeccable service. We started with delicious foie gras and continued with duck and free-range chicken, both cooked to perfection. The waiter recommended an excellent wine and took care of us with great professionalism, always making us feel at ease. During dinner, both the owner and the chef stopped by our table to ensure everything was to our liking: a truly rare and appreciated level of customer service. At the end of the meal, the complimentary liqueurs offered by the owner were the icing on the cake. This place is definitely worth a visit: we will gladly return.

30/08/2024: Restaurant bon mais pas exceptionnel, des accords mets vins onéreux mais pas à la hauteur de leur prix. La qualité du service laisse à désirer (on ne peut pas goûter le vin avant de déguster, couverts et services mal placés).

24/08/2024: We made a reservation last week for lunch today. We arrive this afternoon and the restaurant says closed for holiday reasons. But why did you take my reservation then!

25/11/2025: Absolutely delicious. The tuna steak was flavorful, and the cod fritters were divine. Their profiteroles are excellent for dessert. It's beautiful, it's delicious, and the service is elegant. I love it!

07/11/2025: An incredible experience from start to finish! The setting is exceptional, the service truly top-notch, attentive and warm, and the food… a real delight! Everything was perfect, nothing to complain about. I highly recommend it. Bravo to the entire team at Chez Steff!

10/12/2025: Amazing burger with pulled pork meat!

08/12/2025: A very warm welcome and excellent food. Beautiful setting! Highly recommended!

23/01/2025: A real Lyonnais cork, the dishes are excellent and the service makes you want to come back. I recommend!

19/01/2025: It was overall good. I expected better given the reputation of the restaurant. We still ate well. However, the starter "Lyonnaise salad" was served to us in a salad bowl for two and we had to help ourselves like in the canteen. Although expensive, the dishes are really good. The service needs to be improved on several points (kindness, listening and English).

07/12/2025: It was unbearable, the service was deplorable, avoid at all costs! My son fell ill the next day, and so did my husband.

24/11/2025: Absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for the service!

09/12/2025: We booked for the 7 pm seating during the Festival of Lights. The welcome and service were perfect, and the food was excellent and generous. It was a delightful experience. Thank you to the whole team 😊. We'll definitely be back.

06/12/2025: Hello We wanted to try a traditional Lyonnais restaurant, and we weren't disappointed. Nice menu, warm welcome, tasty, well-presented, and generous portions. A very good place that we recommend.
