Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Lyon

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.

24/05/2026: The cuisine is inventive and generally delicious. However, the desserts that day weren't quite up to par, especially the rather dry pistachio financier. The service was adequate, nothing more; some found it impersonal. We'll return nonetheless.

23/05/2026: We had a very pleasant lunch yesterday with friends. They loved it. We'd been before and are always very happy with the quality of the food and the efficient service. The value for money is excellent 👌

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.

24/05/2026: Everyone adapted to our impromptu get-together for 11 people. A delicious slice of stuffed pork to share. Very nice. We recommend it.

09/05/2026: Excellent atmosphere! I invite everyone to come; you'll never experience a welcome like this. Highly recommended!

16/05/2026: Excellent time, great meal, top-notch service, delicious food – everything you could want in a traditional Lyonnais bistro! Thank you, François!

15/05/2026: Well, a very bad experience in terms of service. The restaurant was full, which is normal for this Ascension weekend. A gentleman kindly suggested we come back in 20 minutes, saying that some seats would become available. We arrived as agreed after half an hour. His manner changed; he practically shoved us out, telling us to wait further down the street, he said in a contemptuous tone. A couple arrived as well, and he told us to wait a little longer and informed them that he was setting their table. We understood, since there were only two of them and five of us. Then, immediately afterward, a group of four people arrived, and he ushered them in and seated them. That was the last straw for us! So much for the local meal; hungry and annoyed, we decided to go to Coco's just across the street. The welcome at the Auberge Rabelais was much warmer. The products may be of good quality, sourced from the Bocuse market halls, but the service is appalling. Sir, we are not just walking wallets...

14/05/2026: Friendly staff and fast, excellent service

18/02/2026: I love this restaurant. The decor is warm and inviting, and in good weather, there's a magnificent and unexpected terrace right in the heart of the city. The service is impeccable, friendly, and attentive, and the cuisine is excellent and sophisticated. Honestly, it's top-notch!

11/05/2026: It's quite impressive to eat in this place. The colorful staff and service—the uniforms and open kitchen—lend a very formal air to the experience. The dishes are delicious, the desserts too, all for a very reasonable price.

11/05/2026: Wow, everything was perfect!!! We're from Quebec, visiting Lyon, and we fell in love with this restaurant! The service was impeccable, the food exquisite, and we adored the entire experience! We even went back a second time within a few days because we loved our first dinner there so much! I highly recommend it to everyone! *A huge thank you to the maître d'hôtel on Friday, May 1st, for going above and beyond to find us a table since we didn't have a reservation!

11/06/2026: Beef, lamb shank, and creme burle are worth trying.

08/06/2026: The restaurant has a great atmosphere. The waiters are attentive and very friendly. The menu features traditional home-style cooking; it's simple and quite delicious. We definitely recommend this Buchon!

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

13/06/2026: Thank you to Vladimir for his warm welcome and professionalism! The hotel is very nice, and the breakfast was excellent! A very pleasant stay at the hotel

12/06/2026: It's always a pleasure to arrive at this hotel, which exceeds Novotel standards. The rooms are quiet and comfortable. Well located for my needs (close to the A7/M7 motorway). But the main draw is its staff, who are always available, professional, and friendly. This week, a special mention goes to Quila and Vaïté, but the entire team (both Reception and Restaurant) deserves praise. I highly recommend this establishment.

03/06/2026: Very good burger with homemade buns and very good pizza, top-notch and fast service!

06/05/2026: My business partner and I stumbled upon this place and were pleasantly surprised. The Reine pizza was delicious, and the daily special was excellent too. The waitress was very friendly. A great find!

12/12/2025: A truly excellent place, whether you're looking for great food, a wonderful atmosphere, or lovely decor... I was already familiar with this restaurant, which has a very good reputation for being a classic Lyonnais bouchon... and now I can say that its reputation is well-deserved. I highly recommend it.

12/12/2025: It's a bit pricey... but lives up to its reputation

17/03/2026: Wine lovers, go for it! Great atmosphere, excellent service, exceptional wines by the glass at reasonable prices, all paired with delicious food—don't miss it!

06/02/2026: We were looking for a place to enjoy a good wine and some appetizers before dinner. Nice selection of wines by the glass! We then had a mix of cheeses, delicious. The owner is kind and welcoming! I'm not sure I'd go there again, but if you happen to be passing through, it's the perfect place!

01/04/2026: Nice restaurant for lunch. The menu could be updated more often to keep regular customers interested. Pleasant terrace in good weather.

28/03/2026: A warm welcome, simple decor, excellent service, generous and delicious food, and reasonable prices. The menu is limited, which is usually a sign of fresh ingredients. Large, sunny terrace.

14/06/2026: We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. A big thank you to Thomas and Lou for their warm welcome and impeccable service. The dishes were refined and beautifully prepared. The desserts were original and surprising, even if they did take us a little by surprise. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Thank you to the whole team!

12/06/2026: Very good. Beautiful hotel and restaurant on the 8th floor with a stunning view of Lyon and the Rhône. We kept it simple and opted for the set menu at €38 (starter/main course/dessert), which was excellent value for money considering the location (any cheap eatery in the city center is in the same price range). Good service, good atmosphere. In short, a great time.
