Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en 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! 🥰

22/07/2026: A pan bagnat for almost €7.50 is just insane. A very dry chorizo ​​baguette.

21/07/2026: Hello, I am writing to inform you of unacceptable behavior from one of your employees this morning at your bakery. During my visit, their attitude was disrespectful and unprofessional following my request regarding store hygiene, which made the experience particularly unpleasant. As a customer, I expect to be greeted with courtesy and respect, regardless of the situation. I wanted to bring this to your attention so that this incident can be addressed and prevented from happening again. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further details about the circumstances of this event. Sincerely, Walid

11/08/2026: I eat there every day, nothing to complain about, the staff are like family, quality hamburgers ✅

31/03/2026: This is ridiculous! I waited an hour for the fries to get cold, I asked for an extra order and they forgot it! Absolutely ridiculous! 🤦🏽

23/10/2026: We had a fantastic evening at La Ficelle, the food was excellent: the salmon tartare and the ravioli gratin were delicious. The cocktails were great too, I highly recommend the Hugo Spritz ;) The servers were very kind and attentive!

21/10/2026: I really enjoyed it, especially because of the kindness of the people 🧍‍♀️ the food was absolutely delicious 👌 and the atmosphere was fantastic!! I highly recommend it for breakfast or any other meal ❤️

13/09/2025: Unfortunately, Contre-Champ is not what it used to be. The chef has changed, and the experience is nothing like what you’ll see on Google or in older reviews. The food was disappointing, far below expectations, and the overall quality has dropped dramatically. To make matters worse, the poor waiter had to manage 11 tables completely on his own — service was understandably slow and chaotic, and it was painful to watch him struggle. What used to be a great place has become a real letdown. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal.

13/09/2025: The restaurant has fundamentally changed its concept. Not a disaster in itself, but they should update the links/photos. Completely understaffed, one overwhelmed waiter for the entire dining room. The kitchen is taking it easy meanwhile. Way too hot inside. The food was okay, nothing special. We just wanted to leave...

25/10/2026: Everything was excellent and we had a great time 😍😻

12/10/2026: Good place to eat or have a drink. We had a cheese and charcuterie board, which was plentiful and reasonably priced. The service was excellent.

22/10/2026: I came and asked for a table in French. I was dissed like a vagrant. Avoid. Too many good options to deal with bitter people. Every table was empty.

11/10/2026: Warm welcome, Lyonnaise cuisine, Lyonnaise charcuterie trolley, delicious parsleyed calf's liver, tasty hake, homemade desserts and a delicious St Veran wine, well done Auger and his team.

31/08/2026: I came to this street under construction this morning to go to this bakery, which already has a pretty bad reputation, just to buy a sandwich. First problem: zero friendliness upon entering. This doesn't bode well. Not a hello, not a word, neither from the woman nor the man behind the counter. I ordered a "small Italian," the small sandwich called "Italian." The man asked his colleague to give it to him (not easy, indeed, to reach out...), then nonchalantly came to ring me up. I then noticed that he had given me the large one: — Me: "Excuse me, sir, but I would like a small Italian, not a large one." — He sighed. — Me: "I ordered a 'small Italian,' sir." — "No, you ordered a regular one," he replied, sighing again, as if I were bothering him. — Me: "You'll get a little goodbye!" I left. Unheard of. He was sighing at my presence! I've never seen such an unpleasant employee, so clearly uninterested in their work, to the point of insisting on explaining to a customer that they were wrong when they weren't. If serving customers bothers you this much, you should change careers. In a bakery located on a street undergoing construction, with probably less foot traffic, you should be taking care of the customers who still walk through the door. You don't deserve my money, nor do you deserve my return. My family and friends who live in Lyon won't be setting foot in your establishment. Good luck improving your rating.

28/08/2026: Friendly staff, very good sandwich and flan. I recommend it!

28/10/2026: Delicious steak, I recommend it!

04/10/2026: An unusual place and excellent food. We loved it.

29/10/2026: Trash: dirty, noisy, bad smells in some aisles, widespread disrespect, and the prices aren't actually that low compared to other stores that are supposedly "expensive"...

27/10/2026: Only 2 cash registers open during peak hours. Consistently a 20+ minute wait.

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.

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

26/06/2026: The welcome was disastrous: the waiter took your order and told you he'd already sold half the menu. As a result, only one salad and two main dishes were left. The food was good, but the welcome and service were appalling.

03/09/2026: Avoid this place at all costs! They lack respect for their customers and make inappropriate remarks, both the waiter and the owner. I was having lunch with my grandmother before her train from Perrache station. Unfortunately, it was canceled at the last minute, forcing me to be on my phone at the table trying to find her a new one. The waiter, passing by, commented, "Oh dear, phones at the table are unacceptable... we're in a restaurant, after all!" That was the first instance of disrespect. Then, when my grandmother went to the owner to pay for lunch, he responded with a very disrespectful tone, as if she were completely out of it: "Madam, I've already served you, haven't I?" She replied, "No, no, I just want to pay," to which he retorted, in a condescending tone, "Well then, what's the problem?" Naturally, I intervened to tell him to speak respectfully to his customers and apologize to her. It's poorly explained, but honestly, avoid it at all costs; the service is awful, they're completely out of control.

02/09/2026: The welcome did not meet our expectations. The meal was disappointing, with only three pieces of stale bread and burnt fries. The service was very mediocre. And to top it all off, a gut-wrenching after-dinner drink.

16/07/2026: I came here for lunch with my partner. The service was very welcoming (a young man and a young woman), both very friendly. The food was good and they gave helpful advice on what to order. I recommend it.

06/07/2026: Very warm welcome and good food. The waiter was quite romantic but not very professional... :)

30/09/2026: Utterly unpleasant! My friend and I usually go to Café Joyeux, but it was 6:45 PM and they close at 7:00 PM. When we got home, the servers told us they were closing and offered us takeout, which was very kind of them. We wanted to sit on the terrace, so we decided to go across the street to Restaurant Pimprenelle, without checking the opening hours on our phones—big mistake! We sat down on the terrace, and I got up to look at the drinks menu on their front. The server walked past me three times, within inches of me, and didn't say a word. I went back to my friend and told her about the different options. After about ten minutes, the server brought the bill to the table next to ours. We then asked the waiter how to order, whether we should go inside, etc. (since we had been sitting for 10 minutes and the waiter had walked past us 10 times without saying a word). To which the waiter replied in a disdainful and haughty manner, "Order what?" This greatly surprised us, and we were caught off guard. He then added, still in a very condescending tone, "Oh, but we close at 7 pm." We then left the terrace, having wasted 15 minutes just watching the waiter walk past us without any intention of informing us that it was impossible to have a drink on the terrace there. I therefore recommend that you go across the street to Café Joyeux, where they know how to manage social interactions!

27/09/2026: You should go for brunch; the food is above average, and although the prices are high, they're average for the area. I'll definitely come again.
