Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Lyon

19/12/2024: Waiters who flirt heavily with customers are no longer possible. Extremely poor quality beer for an excessive price, (meteor beer). The place pretends to be Pseudo punk but place run by dubious people, who think of making money without real value. I don't recommend it if you're looking for an alternative bar in Lyon.

13/12/2024: Very good value for money for a late dinner after a show, a stone's throw from the city hall metro station.

30/09/2024: The hazelnut coffee is great. Very warm welcome

29/09/2024: Very nice experience, Niko the server is in top form. He served us with responsiveness and humor. The dishes were very good and plentiful, we had a great time the day after the cooking. Very good truffle pizza!

10/12/2025: The service was incredibly slow (over 30 minutes to receive our food) for cuisine that offered nothing special except for its exorbitant price. The setting, however, was pleasant.

06/12/2025: Pleasant place to have a drink on the terrace. Quick service.

16/10/2025: noisy, table too close, having to shout to hear each other, kitchen needs to be reviewed, bad timing, and obvious lack of hygiene from the server

20/07/2025: We just had an aperitif! Very friendly and very well priced.

07/07/2025: A big thank you to Loïse for her exceptional service at Café de la République. She was smiling, attentive, and very professional. It's rare to come across such a warm and efficient waitress. We will be happy to come back.

02/07/2025: I ordered a virgin strawberry mojito with no added sugar. The waitress explained to me that they didn't add any sugar (even though cane sugar was listed in the ingredients). She explained that the "strawberry cream" used for the cocktail was already very sweet (even though it was supposed to be puree) and that's why they didn't add any sugar. The result: half a centimeter of refined sugar deposits at the bottom of my glass and a cocktail that was way too sweet... I must have run into a lazy waitress who didn't want to indicate the "sugar-free" option.

02/07/2025: ⭐☆☆☆☆ Very disappointed with our attempt to make a reservation at the Brasserie Lyon Métropole. Our call, taken by the hotel reception, was transferred to the brasserie, but no one answered despite a long wait. For a brasserie in a four-star hotel, this lack of professionalism is unacceptable. It gives the impression of a serious decline in terms of service and standard. We weren't even able to experience the dining experience. Very disappointing. This review highlights your frustration while remaining courteous and emphasizing the expected standard. If you would like to adjust the tone or add details, please let me know!

30/06/2025: The meal was good, although a bit pricey in my opinion. The service, however, left something to be desired. We had to wait 45 minutes at our table before a server came to take our order. 2 different servers came to serve us dishes that weren't ours and served our dishes to the next table. It's a shame because the setting is nice with the terrace by the pool.

14/11/2025: Excellent flank steak, the owner is super friendly, and the prices are fair! Don't expect luxury, but you don't need it if you just want a beer and a good meal.

08/10/2025: Good advice, they listen to customers, there is nothing to say, advice to eat in this place

13/12/2025: A wonderful discovery! I didn't know this shop at all, and I received a very warm welcome from Raphaël. They took the time to help me put together a gift set while respecting my budget. A very pleasant experience; I highly recommend it and will definitely be back.

11/09/2025: A place where you can find a choice EXCEPT THAT the welcome is deplorable. I just left, I was served by LAURE who is really not a salesperson but is incredibly insolent. Doesn't know how to advise and thinks she knows everything, doesn't know her products. LAURE please change jobs, this is clearly not your place.

08/12/2025: It's not the most chic restaurant or the one with the best cooking in Lyon, but it doesn't disappoint either: a neighborhood restaurant with a good and complete daily special. The space is correct and the service friendly. Very competitive price.

09/09/2025: Good place for lunch. The dishes are generous and tasty. The prices are affordable. A little noisy, but the food is good.

23/05/2025: Very good restaurant. Welcoming and helpful staff

26/04/2025: 20€ a kebab?! Alo! He didn't put any gold leaf in it, don't mess around. Where are we going there!!!!!

24/11/2025: The staff were about as welcoming as a prison guard. We came as a family and chose this restaurant because the menu seemed quite extensive. Upon arrival, the waiter didn't seat us, and we had to move the table ourselves to find a seat. Four courses: two pasta choices and two burger choices, nothing more, nothing less. No desserts that evening. We were bothered by a group of young women all evening, despite our attempts to move them away from our table; they wouldn't budge. The owner did nothing. Truly disappointing.

13/11/2025: "An extremely disappointing experience. The staff's behavior demonstrates a complete lack of professionalism and reveals unacceptable discriminatory attitudes. In an establishment that welcomes the public, respect, equal treatment, and courtesy should be fundamental principles. Unfortunately, this was not the case here. I do not recommend this place until these practices are seriously addressed."

30/09/2024: This is the second time I come to this cafe. The first time I had a bad experience so I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. We arrived 40min before closing and sat at one of the tables. The main female waiter seemed super busy so we politely waited to be served. Nothing happened for 10min. I called the second waiter to tell her that we wanted to order and she said "ok", but no one came to our table. 10min passed and I decided to stand up to go to the comptoir to place my order. The woman at the bar told me they were closing (it was 20min before closing) and she wouldn't serve us. I had to tell her that we had been waiting for 20min and she said that she'd made an exception and -annoyed- she asked me what we wanted (she has the right to be annoyed, but HEY we've also been waiting for a while now!). I ordered 2 teas but she refused to serve us the tiramisu we wanted to try. We drank our teas and as people started to leave the waitress that I called to order, came and told us the museum was closing. We were almost done with the teas so we sped up a little. Later a man came and told us "The museum has been closed for 10 minutes already, we are close now" in an unpleasant tone. I said thank you, finished our teas, and left. My advice: The service industry is under tons of recruiting stress which is clearly the cause of their current service; so come to the garden with your snacks (the food is ok but the service makes you feel like you're an inconvenience) to enjoy the garden at your own peace. No need to spend energy ordering at the cafe for now.

28/09/2024: Very good service. Pleasant corner. Worth the detour

03/12/2024: I enjoy the Friday evenings with bachata lessons and the always welcoming and warm atmosphere. The cocktails are delicious and generous.

29/11/2024: The bouncers are still just as racist (yes I have to say the terms) I decided to go there anyway knowing that colleagues and dance partners were waiting for me but was rejected at the entrance for an evening with the dance group wasted, reminds me why I don't come out here anymore. Too bad for you!

17/09/2024: Lots of products and choices, just a lot of waiting at the automatic checkout even though there are many

17/09/2024: Huge choice in this large Carrefour, a godsend. The shelves are always full and other world cultures are rather well represented with quite a few choices (Italy, Maghreb, Asia...). The checkouts are unfortunately rather slow with a huge number of people. The waiting time is extended whether in automatic or normal checkouts, which remains completely normal!
