22/02/2026: The chef and waiter duo are incredibly well-oiled. Two very friendly and efficient people, attentive to the customer from the moment they step outside this small restaurant. A perfect culinary experience at this little Lyonnais bistro. Excellent value for money.

21/02/2026: We arrived without a reservation, found the dining room small, but the owner was very welcoming and made room for us for five people, including a child. The menu is short, featuring well-prepared Lyonnais classics, and excellent value for money!

27/02/2026: Fantastic experience, excellent service, and delicious local cuisine. The portions were generous, and the quality/price/atmosphere ratio was excellent. As requested by the server, I ordered the pineapple-Tabasco juice.

23/02/2026: An excellent experience in a pleasant and intimate setting. The service was very friendly and unpretentious. The cuisine was truly excellent, with exquisite flavor combinations. The bill was high, but it seemed justified given the overall high quality.

10/02/2026: A truly wonderful evening spent in a historic Lyon culinary landmark. The cuisine was indulgent and generous, with all the precision of a two-Michelin-starred restaurant. (Personally, I give it three stars!) The spider crab with caviar was pure bliss! :) The staff was as warm and welcoming as those found in the finest Lyon establishments. I'm already eager to return. One minor point, unrelated to the food, was the valet who insisted on a tip even as we were about to leave one.

26/02/2026: Delicious, light pizzas, topped just right. Very welcoming and the restaurant isn't too noisy. Quick and efficient service!

21/02/2026: Probably the best tiramisu I've ever had! It's homemade and it shows. The pizzas are very good and there's a lot of choice.

20/02/2026: Absolutely perfect. Delicious food, exquisite wines.

15/02/2026: A first and a success. Top-notch from start to finish. Quick and pleasant service, a real discovery with only fresh products, beautifully presented dishes, as beautiful as they were delicious. Thank you.

18/03/2026: A wonderful evening at Les Pieds dans le Plat in Lyon. We ate very well and had a fantastic time from beginning to end. The shows were truly great: Morgane, a superb singer, set the perfect mood; David Kleiner was both funny and impressive with his magic tricks; and Raphaël Lacour closed the evening with a great sense of humor and talent in his impressions. We laughed a lot, especially thanks to the large group Stephanix, who greatly contributed to the evening's atmosphere. Special mention to Éric, who became the running gag of the evening by constantly going on stage! Honestly, with such an atmosphere, it almost makes you want to go work for Stephanix!

15/03/2026: We had a wonderful meal and a fantastic evening at Le Pied dans l'Plat. The organization was impeccable. There was very little waiting. The entertainment was varied (singing, comedy, magic), and its success depended on the guests' participation—we were particularly spoiled! 😁😜🤣 Go for it, you'll have a great time.

08/03/2026: It's okay. However, the wine list has changed. I tried L'Amicaille but it wasn't there, so I was suggested to try Fontaine Cagnard instead, but that's... not a good recommendation. Luckily, there was Fuso Cazzetti, so I ordered it myself and had a good one. And after I arrived and spoke to the female manager, I heard her turn around and use a mysterious onomatopoeia, "ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba" with her colleagues. I'm worried it might be a racist remark or a sarcastic remark about my hasty arrival. Please correct me if I misunderstood. At 7:20, I was the only customer. Still... I recommended the Fuso tasting.

07/03/2026: It's flawless. Comfort. Delicacy. Originality. Impeccable service. Delicious dishes. Deserves a second star.

12/03/2026: Absolutely fantastic restaurant!

03/03/2026: Delicious! I hope to return very soon. In gastronomy, as in happiness, abundance is never too much. Thank you for these wonderful memories. Don't hesitate, go for it! Small Gourmet Restaurant Remember to book. Impeccable service, professional and impartial staff. The dishes were extremely well prepared, but just a little small for my taste. (Please, stop leaving us with the small container of sauce half full. It would be better in our meals.) (Set menu: €35 per person, but beware of the extra charges.) Highly recommended.

03/03/2026: I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, and what a delight! The couscous was excellent, and the staff were very welcoming and attentive to customer satisfaction. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

28/02/2026: Stepping through the doors of Le Lyon de l'Atlas is like embarking on a journey of tranquility, a true awakening for the heart and senses. A regular at this restaurant for years, I thought I had explored all the secrets of its exceptional couscous and tagines. Yet, on February 19th, the magic worked its charm once again. I succumbed to the seafood pastilla, a veritable masterpiece adorned with shallots in their skins. Each bite is an ode to flavor, a perfect balance between artistry and substance. Behind the stoves, a chef whose discretion is matched only by his kindness, and whose passion shines through in every dish, is at work. Here, you don't just dine; you are welcomed "as if you were at home" in an atmosphere imbued with serenity. A rare find in the 8th arrondissement, helmed by a talented chef who deserves all the praise.

27/02/2026: Extremely tasty cuisine, worthy of the traditional Lyonnais restaurants.

24/02/2026: A very good, traditional Lyonnais bistro. I go there regularly and I'm never disappointed. Simple and effective.

23/03/2026: Pretty nice restaurant. Plenty of tables. Portions were a bit small but not surprised since it’s a French restaurant. Especially the mushroom soup thing was the best.

23/03/2026: Exquisite cuisine, excellent service, genuine kindness, a perfect evening.

01/03/2026: A lovely dinner at Odette's bistro after a show at the Bourse du Travail. Very friendly atmosphere, delicious and generous Lyonnaise cuisine! We'll definitely be back!

10/02/2026: We stopped by on a walk through Lyon recently, and had the best meal of our trip in France. The atmosphere was delightful and the full restaurant was a testament to the great food and even better service.

28/02/2026: A truly wonderful experience. Precise and delicious cuisine, a warm welcome, and a diverse wine list with some very enjoyable selections. The value for money is remarkable, as it's quite rare in Lyon. Thank you for a lovely time.

19/02/2026: A hidden gem in Lyon! The welcome is simply perfect and incredibly warm; you immediately feel at ease. As for the food, it's flawless: I loved the starter, the casserole of simmered crayfish tails—a true delight! All the dishes are excellent, not to mention absolutely divine. The value for money is more than fair for such exquisite cuisine. I will definitely be back!
