Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Lyon

03/04/2026: A bar with a great atmosphere; I have some good memories there.

03/04/2026: I find it shameful that a bartender can't tell a wheat beer from a dark beer. It's basic knowledge, he should find another job. Sorry, mate.

14/09/2026: My partner and I had a wonderful time. The staff were very welcoming, the atmosphere was great, and the food was delicious and indulgent. I highly recommend it.

06/09/2026: Calamari fritters without calamari? Replaced by a white, gelatinous batter.

07/09/2026: Really nice cafe, lovely decor, nice ambience, great service and good prices.

07/09/2026: Excellent experience! Great cocktails and quality service. I'll definitely be back!

05/10/2026: A tourist trap to avoid! Appalling service and mediocre food. The chocolate mousse and praline tart were inedible.

05/10/2026: It was an interesting and pleasant first experience with the traditional lyonnaise meal. It was good food wise and a good experience. I have definitely gotten used to the slower service in France and have come to appreciate the space between courses. Unfortunately, here this was not the case and I felt we had barely finished our starter before our main came. We had to ask for space between the main and dessert. Perhaps the spacing between courses is not the norm here? Anyways, all in all it was nice.

27/07/2026: The food is very good, at reasonable prices, I recommend it!

27/06/2026: Traditional food, really good, great place

30/07/2026: Got turned away for not being French! Staff extremely rude … don’t bother !

30/07/2026: The staff were extremely rude. They claimed they had stopped serving five minutes earlier, but then continued serving other customers. We were the only ones turned away, and we believe it was because we didn’t speak French. This was a very disappointing experience, and we did not feel welcome.

03/02/2026: It all started with a birthday gift from the Confluence shopping center. I decided to try the Vapiano restaurant. What a treat! I received a very warm welcome (from the blue-eyed waiter); He didn't hesitate to suggest a different dish than the one I had chosen—kudos for his professionalism! The restaurant's atmosphere is superb, with great background music. I really want to thank him for his kind gesture at the end of my meal, which made the experience truly special. I highly recommend it!

01/02/2026: An extremely disappointing experience on every level. The food arrived barely lukewarm: undercooked pasta, bland, tasteless pizzas. There was no skill in the kitchen, and no enjoyment in eating. The service was incomprehensibly slow, especially since the restaurant requires ordering via QR code and payment before being served, ostensibly to save time. Given the poor quality of the meal, one wonders if this system isn't simply a way to avoid complaints or prevent customers from leaving without paying. Drinks are advertised as available on the app, but then suddenly become unavailable once the order is placed. For children, the syrup cups were sticky and served without any care. As for family-friendly options, it was a complete failure: all the tables were high, but the high chairs weren't the right height, making the meal uncomfortable and unsafe. And only three high chairs for a full restaurant speaks volumes about the consideration given to families. The desserts are just like everything else: tasteless, poorly executed, and underwhelming. To top it all off, the value for money is simply shameful considering the service offered. This establishment is poorly managed and disorganized, with no regard for quality or customer comfort. It's an address that charges a premium for a mediocre experience and is clearly not worth the trip.

08/09/2026: I liked this place. Has very family kind of atmosphere. You can enjoy food that is made right in front of you. Owner is a very sweet man who is talking care of everything and everyone. If you want something where you can have all you can eat sushi for good price and good service: come here. By the way you can have unlimited amounts of ice cream 🍨

07/09/2026: Excellent family dinner, thank you to the owner for the welcome.

11/09/2026: A bar/club with a Wild West atmosphere but no indoor smoking area, forcing people to smoke outside, with no control over the noise level, which easily escalates to an unbearable nuisance for the neighborhood.

20/07/2026: Great time with friends... The staff were fantastic! We'll be spending our holiday evenings at this establishment 🙂

22/09/2026: I was very disappointed by my experience at this café-restaurant. The manager's welcome was disrespectful to customers. A clear lack of professionalism completely ruined the experience. Service and business require a minimum level of courtesy.

03/08/2026: A place we love... The staff's generosity is reflected in the food... A truly wonderful atmosphere with the customers. 100% "Made in Lyon".

13/04/2026: Magnificent space, I recommend it a thousand times over, even ten thousand times if not more. Everything is beautiful: the owners, the service, the food, the atmosphere, and it's only 2 minutes from the train station. Bravo to La Pause Gourmande! Zyad lives up to its name. Blessings to your business. Sylvain Issa Liwei

18/03/2026: Absolutely fantastic! Thank you to the person who served us on March 18th around 2:45 pm, she's a sweetheart…cherish her! 🥰

19/09/2026: The service was a disaster. I was refused a table on the terrace in the middle of summer because I was wearing shorts… For a café in Lyon, that's incomprehensible! And when the owner, Olivier Farissier, replied, "Well, buy some clothes and come back and sit down," it was frankly contemptuous. An establishment can have its rules, but that doesn't excuse them from speaking properly to their customers. There was absolutely no sense of hospitality or business etiquette in this exchange. An unacceptable experience that makes me have absolutely no desire to return.

11/09/2026: No zero stars. Shameful. Don't go there. Completely unprofessional.

05/09/2026: A fantastic evening at Les Marmottes restaurant! The Savoyard fondue was excellent, and the all-you-can-eat raclette was absolutely divine 😍 A must-visit for any self-respecting Marmotte 😁

09/07/2026: I made a reservation online, called several times without an answer, only to find out the restaurant is closed, even though it's listed as open on Google Maps. It's like playing Russian roulette. There's no information about the closure anywhere.

20/09/2026: I tried the VIP area and was really disappointed. No player interaction. Almost no atmosphere. Okay, you get a cheap beer and a couple of other sodas. But nothing special. The view isn't even pleasant because of the railings right in front of the windows. You'd be better off watching matches in the stands, with the rest of the crowd, and also checking out the Roanne club. It's a completely different experience from the fan zone! A much more fun experience!

19/09/2026: It's always a real pleasure to come and watch the games at the Charlemagne Ice Rink! The atmosphere is truly pleasant and welcoming, with great energy in the stands. It's the perfect place to enjoy a good game and have a fantastic time. I highly recommend it! 🏒👏

31/12/2025: What is this inedible chocolate ice cream?? I took a teaspoon of ice cream and immediately spat it out! How can you make ice cream that bad? Even the worst store-bought ice cream at 15 cents for a 35-pack is better

31/12/2025: 6 euros for a "hot chocolate" that turned out to be cocoa powder diluted in milk, served in cardboard cups. And it was so diluted it was more white than brown. This is extremely disappointing for an ice cream parlor, especially considering the price.
