Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Lyon

27/10/2026: Great food, especially the entree's and then meat. Very very good, genuinely suprised by it and above expectations. The waiter was very nice and attentive too. Good prices and great atmosphere.

25/10/2026: Excellent lunch on a Monday at this charming restaurant in Old Lyon. Exceptional starters: soft-boiled egg with porcini mushrooms, country-style terrine with a foie gras center. Delicious main courses (andouillette sausage, filet mignon, quenelle). We particularly enjoyed the flavor of the sauces. Good wines served by the glass, warm service, all for around 30 euros per person.

01/10/2026: A royal welcome, two very friendly co-owners/servers, and an outstanding chef. It was divine. Thank you. Romain & Clémentine.

01/10/2026: The waitress is very energetic, always smiling and humorous. The chef's cuisine is consistently outstanding. Well done to your team.

06/10/2026: Excellent value for money. Very attentive staff. Only slight drawback: the wait.

06/10/2026: A fantastic café in Croix-Rousse, especially for brunch! The breakfast set with bread, granola, and a choice of breakfast items was delicious, especially the granola – it was truly excellent! The cappuccino with oat milk was also very tasty! The service was extremely friendly, the atmosphere super relaxed, and even though it got a bit noisy, it was still easy to have a conversation. We felt very comfortable. We were there on a Monday, and it was already quite busy from 10:30 am onwards, so it's worth arriving a little earlier!

16/08/2026: So conflicted about whether to even leave a review for this place. Possibly the worst dining experience we have had during our week of travelling in Spain and France... ... but that may have mostly been down to our unsophisticated pallates, and poor menu choices (v.s. other items we may have liked better). Had our choices better suited our tastes, I'm sure we would have actually had a really good experience, and that's the basis of the 3-star score. Quenelle of chicken had the texture of blamanche and an indistinct flavour profile, and the andouillette had the look, smell, taste, texture and warmth of a freshly laid turd. Both were probably 'good' - but it was just a bit unexpected. The execution of the food seemed on-point, especially e.g. the sauces (which we would expect from a Lyonnaise bouchon), it's just we didn't really enjoy the dishes. Even the desserts were a bit 'meh'. Drinks were nothing to write home about (the quality of the wine by the glass was nothing above bang-average table wine, and the AF beer was the frankly abhorrent Kronenbourg). Service was good, and the staff very friendly and obliging, though clearly busy. I would note that the food came out extremely quickly (rather too quickly), with no real break between courses. Value was very good, for authentic Lyonnaise food. Note that the excellent value Menu des Canuts is also available in the evening. The establishment seems to be going for a kind of hybrid modern/shabby vibe, and I'm not sure I fully got it. Mixed furniture, crockery etc... OK, but two of the bowls my food was served in were chipped. Tables inside were small. There are lots of people who will bang on about, say Jane Austen, when, by most objective measures, she churned-out some pretty dreary works of little literary merit. Yet there she still sits, exalted, on her pedestal. The same metaphor probably applies to Lyonnaise cuisine, if this is anything to go by. If it's your thing, though, you could certainly do worse than give this place a try. You might like it; in fact you probably will. So a mixed review, let's say.

15/08/2026: Excellent Lyonnais bistro, the service is impeccable and fast. We had the set menu with starter, main course, and dessert, and all three were a success. Absolutely worth it.

22/09/2026: I tasted her cookies and they are simply sublime. I can't get enough of them. Enjoy them without moderation!

16/09/2026: Absolutely delicious and inexpensive

03/10/2026: My partner and I visited this traditional Lyonnais restaurant and we highly recommend it. The food, the service, the atmosphere… everything was fantastic. The woman who greeted and served us was absolutely lovely. If we return to Lyon, we'll definitely be back!

24/09/2026: Great experience, great food, wonderful ambience, welcoming and absolutely lovely hosts.

23/07/2026: Good but too expensive. €17.50 for a meager portion.

14/10/2026: The place is very nice; you can play games for a small fee. I really liked the concept; we had a great evening.

08/10/2026: Excellent board game bar with a great menu. The bonus: the very creative and incredibly interesting cuisine.

29/09/2026: The quality has really gone downhill in recent years. There's a long wait just to sit down for a drink. The prices of the food are going up, and the selection is getting more and more limited (no more fish and chips, salmon tartare, or veggie burgers...). Even the little touches are disappearing (the small pots of homemade mayonnaise that used to come with the fries are gone).

28/09/2026: I returned to L’Industrie after a while, and I was delighted to be welcomed and served by Jérémy. Professional, attentive, and with a great sense of humor, he made the experience particularly enjoyable. Excellent service, nothing to complain about! Special mention also goes to the Terre Adélice ice cream selection: for someone living abroad, coming back and rediscovering those wonderful Lyonnais flavors is always a real treat. I can't wait to return to Lyon, to go back to L’Industrie, and, of course, to see dear Jérémy again!

24/10/2026: An incredible and magical atmosphere, welcoming, professional and very kind staff, and the food is excellent.

10/10/2026: Great little natural wine spot. Small plates are delicious & work well with the wines

04/10/2026: Very disappointed. I was served a dish I hadn't ordered. The steak tartare was bland and unseasoned. The dessert was mediocre. On top of that, the bill was exorbitant! I will no longer recommend this restaurant; its quality has declined!

26/09/2026: A wonderful discovery! Everything was delicious, from the appetizer to the dessert, and excellent value for money. The setting is beautiful, the staff welcoming, and the service quick and pleasant. We'll definitely be back!
