Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Lyon

15/07/2026: We arrived at 1:40 PM, simply wanting to have a drink. The waitress asked us to leave the table, claiming we didn't want to have lunch. Yet, the terrace was completely empty, and the dining room wasn't very full either. It was July 15th, the height of summer, and my partner is a regular customer of this establishment. This lack of flexibility and business sense is regrettable. We certainly won't be returning for a drink or a meal. It's also worth noting that no coffee is served after 3 PM. We will avoid this type of establishment from now on.

07/07/2026: The place has history, its food is healthy and varied, as well as economical.

11/07/2026: I came on the morning of July 4th with a friend who didn't speak French, but the waitress was quite unpleasant and, in her words, "in a hurry." I left immediately. It's a shame they weren't more welcoming and patient with a foreigner who was kind and wanted to make an effort to take our order. It's a pity because the setting is nice, but the service definitely needs improvement.

13/06/2026: Very good coffee and breakfast ☕

08/07/2026: Fantastic place!! Everything is homemade, great value for money!! A super welcome... I especially loved the attentive and efficient waitresses!! ❤️❤️❤️

13/05/2026: As a regular at both the restaurant and salad bar, here are my comments: - Restaurant: I highly recommend it. The dishes are tasty and made with good ingredients, with some options that are a bit different from the usual fare. The service is good and the wait is reasonable! It's great to have a restaurant like this in the neighborhood. - Salad bar: The ingredients seem fresh and the pre-prepared dishes are quite good and varied. However, my disappointment with the salad bar is growing with each visit, as the portions are getting smaller and smaller. On my last visit, I could barely see the bottom of my container, even though I chose a pasta base and selected four ingredients. I found that rather meager (it's usually quite generous). At the price of the salad, you expect to be satisfied, which is increasingly less the case. Thank you for taking this negative point into account and best of luck.

03/07/2026: Puzzled to see the average rating of this place is only 3 stars. Its an unabashed traditional French restaurant. My experience is that it is a very good one! Really top quality ingredients, well prepared and presented, with nice wine. If that isn't what you want, don't go there! There are plenty of other places in Les Halles Paul Bocuse.

24/06/2026: A delightful surprise awaits at the Passionnement Truffes restaurant, located in the legendary Marché de Lyon Paul Bocuse. Dishes are prepared to perfection, following the purest French tradition, and are surprisingly fresh and well-prepared. Highlights include the Volleyball and Mushroom Fricassee with Morel Cream and the Veal Rognons with Port Sauce.

02/09/2026: The Moscow Mule isn't good and the waiters are lecturing us 🤐

02/09/2026: A 30-minute wait for a non-alcoholic beer and a cocktail served in a beer glass... Then €20.80... More expensive than in a nightclub... When we asked to be paid, the waiter chased after the person who had served us; it was like a real drama...

12/09/2026: It's rare that I leave such a bad review for a restaurant, but I regret to say that nothing is right here. Avoid it! The restaurant was recently bought out two weeks ago, so I didn't have a chance to try it before, but now it's just not good. The service is incredibly slow, with mistakes in the orders and requiring you to repeat what you've ordered. The food is cafeteria-level, nothing like a traditional Lyonnais restaurant, except for the price, which is unfortunately quite high considering the poor quality. The poached egg in red wine sauce was barely hot, the goat cheese and honey salad was basic, and the steak was undercooked with industrial fries. Even the desserts are mass-produced! I get the same floating island dessert at my local cafeteria... No praline desserts. And the menu has changed, so be careful! Oh, and to top it all off, the toilets are disgusting and the floor is terrible. In short, a real tourist trap par excellence. Avoid it.

12/09/2026: We had a similar experience at a restaurant in Lyon, France. The food was a complete disaster. The beef tartare was a watery, tasteless, mushy mess, and it cost almost €24. The service was incredibly unfriendly. The owner completely ignored our formal complaint. Despite this, the tartare was still listed on the bill at full price. Avoid this place at all costs!

24/08/2026: To anyone who sees and takes the time to read this review: avoid this bar. We stopped for five minutes to get out of the rain. My pregnant partner, feeling cold, politely asked the owner if we could stay inside for a few minutes while waiting for our Uber. The man, very unpleasant, pressured us to buy drinks. Fine, I asked for a coffee, he refused, so we left. As we were leaving, my partner was hit with a table by the waitress who was clearing them. No apology, of course, just a cold, angry look. We stayed for five minutes, and that was enough to understand that this bar is just awful. Thanks for your time.

01/08/2026: Great restaurant, I highly recommend it.

29/08/2026: Okay, okay, okay… the setting isn't all that great. €5 for a Perrier with a slice of lemon? I'm not usually one to be a grumpy old man, but come on now. The smell of garbage wasn't great… They were spraying mist right in my forehead, it was like being at a swimming pool on the Rhône; they must have thought I was a leek in a greenhouse. To be clear, the servers were actually very friendly, and I have nothing against Uncle Francis.

28/08/2026: A really nice place to have a drink with friends.

31/12/2025: The food was served cold, then sent back to the kitchen and brought out again on the same plate after we had already eaten—probably just reheated in the microwave. This is unacceptable, especially for a restaurant with this reputation. In addition to being unacceptable in terms of quality, this raises a serious hygiene issue. Judging by the numerous negative reviews, I see that I am unfortunately not the only one who was disappointed.

31/12/2025: If you're looking for a good culinary experience, look elsewhere. It's really nothing special.
