Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Lyon

15/04/2026: Dishes served in jars. Local, healthy, and high-quality cuisine. Always delicious; it's like eating at home.

23/01/2026: We stumbled upon this place and decided to stop by – it was an excellent idea! The food was delicious, the atmosphere great, and the service impeccable! A superb find!

12/04/2026: A fantastic welcome! Excellent food and top-notch service. A must-visit in Old Lyon. Next time, we hope they'll have Pont cheese 😅.

12/04/2026: A delightful time spent. Very pleasant with the shared tables. Lyonnaise salad and cervelle de canut are highly recommended. The staff are truly friendly; we'll definitely be back between St. Julien and St. Barnabé. Highly recommended. The "Goitschel" sisters

23/03/2026: Le Court-Circuit is a true neighborhood bar, just the way we like them, with a friendly and socially conscious atmosphere in the heart of the Guillotière district. It's exactly the kind of place where you come as much to have a drink as to share a moment. I particularly appreciated the spirit of the place: craft beers, homemade food made with fresh ingredients (and quite a few vegetarian options), all in a simple and authentic atmosphere. The terrace is a real bonus as soon as the weather is nice, with a very lively and relaxed vibe. The staff is generally friendly and the atmosphere is warm, which makes you want to come back regularly. One small drawback: as is often the case in places that are a bit "victims of their own success," the service can sometimes be slow or a little disorganized when it's busy. But overall, a very good place to have a drink, eat something simple, and enjoy a lively and unpretentious atmosphere.

21/03/2026: Great atmosphere and friendly vibe! Perfect from 4pm onwards in the sunshine ☀️

10/04/2026: A very warm welcome, a lovely and intimate atmosphere, and the rump steak was delicious – go for it!!

04/04/2026: Excellent bistro. The service is very good. The menu is detailed. The restaurant is beautiful and the restrooms are clean. I recommend it.

25/04/2026: My husband and I like this brasserie. The atmosphere is usually pleasant, it's busy, with regulars coming in for a coffee or a drink. The waiters are friendly. The fried calamari is sometimes a little overcooked, and the dishes can occasionally be a bit under-seasoned or not quite warm enough, but you don't go there for fine dining.

22/04/2026: Jutard, I'm revising my opinion downwards. The servers are very nice, but otherwise, it's a bit chaotic. Not the warm and welcoming little café one dreams of.

29/04/2026: We had a wonderful time 👍, the welcome was fantastic and the setting was peaceful, with a central kitchen where we had the privilege of watching the dishes being expertly assembled 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳. A set menu was offered at €135. All the dishes were beautifully 🍽🍷 presented and the flavors delighted our taste buds 🤪. The whole team is wonderful. THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT EXPERIENCE 🤗🥰

25/04/2026: This was our first time at a Michelin star restaurant and we were blown away! The experience and the food were nothing like we’ve seen before. Thank you for a memorable time!

08/03/2026: Very tasty and nice! We ate the restaurant's specialty, frog legs! Just enough to share a portion between two and combine with something else.

20/02/2026: Baba's frogs were delicious! The price was reasonable considering the quantity and quality. The welcome and service were provided by a very kind and professional blonde lady (I forgot to get her name).

04/05/2026: A true Lyonnais bistro, where you feel right at home, excellent cuisine, a very warm welcome, and perfect service. We'll be back!

03/05/2026: Unforgettable experience. Went there two years ago. It's not too packed during lunch time. Good for solo travelers as you can share food with strangers in the table.

13/03/2026: Excellent and plentiful food; super reasonable prices and five-star service. We'll definitely be back when we're in Lyon again ❤️

10/03/2026: We were sightseeing in the old town on a Saturday, looking for a place to eat with a set menu, and we found it! A set menu with well-prepared traditional food for €23 (starter, main course, and dessert). Good atmosphere, good service. Highly recommended.

12/04/2026: The service is very fast, and you can tell they're rushing to make way for the next customers, which isn't very pleasant. For brunch, it seems not all the pastries are from the same source; some are fresh, and others may have been frozen, which is a shame. For me, a €32 brunch with such limited choices, difficult access to the buffet because there's little space and almost everything is on the high counter, is unacceptable. The service wasn't very friendly either. I don't recommend it.

05/04/2026: Don't come just for a drink on Sunday when they're serving brunch… No one will come to see you or offer you a menu, and you'll get a rude face. They take care of all the other tables except ours and are reluctant to pull up a third chair for us. We got up and left. What a shame. Before the restaurant responds, I'd like to add that three other tables were seated and served for brunch after us while we were still waiting for the menus.

18/04/2026: Great bar with excellent service

08/04/2026: Gathering of priests from the Auvergne Rhône Alpes region at Saint John's Cathedral in Lyon.

11/03/2026: Great dinner in a friendly atmosphere!

01/03/2026: Refined, welcoming, and consistently delicious cuisine. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and excellent value for money.

24/03/2026: As an occasional customer of this neighborhood restaurant, I was very disappointed today. The wait between courses was far too long. I had to keep asking the waitress for my main course. She was deep in conversation with an Italian tourist who had just sat down next to me and completely ignored me. My dish finally arrived along with the one meant for the Italian, even though it had arrived more than half an hour after mine. She served me with an ironic, "I hadn't forgotten you." What can I say? She continued chatting with this Milanese customer, giving him a tour of Lyon, pacing back and forth while completely ignoring me. I was hoping to order dessert, but my gestures, both with my eyes and my hand, went unanswered. Disheartened, I got up to pay at the register. I didn't hesitate to express my disappointment with the service to the second waitress (who was much more charming, by the way). Le patron toujours fidèle à lui-même est bien sympathique, mais vraisemblablement ne se doute pas qu'en salle c'est une vraie cacophonie. Bref franchement même si vous n'êtes pas contraint par le temps, vous allez devoir prendre votre mal en patience. Ou alors faites-vous passer pour un transalpin, ça ira beaucoup plus vite. À bon entendeur...

02/03/2026: The service was excellent, with a very pleasant welcome. The meals were superb, truly wonderful.

11/12/2025: Stumbled upon this amazing restaurant after arriving in Lyon. Easily one of the best restaurants we’ve had anywhere in France

06/12/2025: Nice atmosphere, delicious food, 26 seats

15/04/2026: Excellent cuisine, beautifully presented, exceptional setting, and impeccable service. The wine recommendations were simply superb. Pure class.

12/04/2026: Sunday brunch is highly recommended. The starters are plentiful, individual, varied, and all excellent. The main courses are of very high quality, and the numerous desserts provide a perfect ending to the meal. The experience is clearly commensurate with the price.
