24/02/2026: Superb! Inventive and creative cuisine. Fresh ingredients. Original recipes. A small but very well-executed menu. I'll never forget the deviled eggs with porcini mushrooms and coffee. Very pleasant service. Warm and welcoming atmosphere.

12/01/2026: Still a great atmosphere after all these years! A Guillotière classic. Decent quality food and drinks for those looking for a casual evening with friends and/or family.

02/03/2026: Good restaurant, interesting food

02/03/2026: Second time visiting. The welcome: smiling staff despite the crowd. Impeccable service, generous portions of typical Lyonnais dishes of high quality, and a very well-stocked wine cellar... à la carte or set menus, you have the choice. All for a reasonable price. A restaurant I wholeheartedly recommend on a typical Lyonnais street: Rue Mercière. One last tip: don't forget to make a reservation. And if you don't like being crowded at your table, don't come to a bouchon (traditional Lyonnais restaurant).

17/03/2026: Delicious food in a small restaurant near St Jean. The setting is pleasant (stone wall) and the service is discreet and efficient.

15/03/2026: Brilliant lunch on the terrace. 28 euros for three courses. Culinary masterpieces, with lamb, cod, and a very successful dessert with stewed pear and dill ice cream. Highly recommended.

19/02/2026: Pleasant welcome...a Croix-Rousse institution. Average food. A little more refinement would be nice. Unfortunately, we felt unwell after lunch.

26/12/2025: Excellent restaurant in Lyon 3. Delicious, well-prepared dishes and warm service. Pleasant atmosphere, you feel right at home. I highly recommend it.

14/03/2026: Beef pita is a Jungle staple Chicken pita is a sure thing Omelette pita is the comfort food option Salmon pita is a gourmet dish Falafel pita is the original choice And for the lucky ones, there's the secret option: omelette pita with extra sausage Goat cheese pita is the rustic choice Bacon pita is so British Eggplant pita is for nature lovers

08/12/2025: Jungle is a nice and cozy bar with a warm interior and generally pleasant, relaxed vibe. The service was polite, friendly, and attentive, we felt well looked after throughout our visit. That said, the very strong smell of curry completely dominated the space during our visit. It honestly felt more like sitting in a takeaway restaurant than in a bar, which distracted a lot from the drinks and the overall atmosphere. If the food aromas had been less intense, the experience would have been much better. Overall, it is a comfortable spot with good service, but because of that overpowering smell, it is personally not a place I would rush back to.

30/01/2026: A warm welcome, excellent starter and main course, and reasonable prices even for drinks. We had a lovely lunch. I highly recommend this bar/restaurant.

23/01/2026: This restaurant is very pleasant and authentic. The service is quick and professional. The staff is really friendly. The prices are quite reasonable for Lyon. The homemade food is very good. I thoroughly enjoyed this place and will definitely return.

10/07/2025: A wonderful discovery and experience, having lived in this great neighborhood for a long time, I'd love to repeat it. Congratulations on the friendliness and simplicity.

24/06/2025: Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, authentic decor. At first glance, the menu may not seem like much, but from the first bite, each dish is an explosion of flavors, a true delight.

04/03/2026: A romantic dinner at this little bistro was delightful. Everything was delicious and piping hot. The service was warm and friendly. The only slight drawback was the limited space, but honestly, it's something you just need to be aware of and easily overlook because it's so good. I'll definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu. Thank you!

02/03/2026: A truly wonderful culinary experience. The meat melted in your mouth. Everything was delicious. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a lovely history. The service was warm and welcoming. We had a delightful time!

17/02/2026: We had dinner for Valentine's Day. We were seated upstairs because the downstairs room was full. The room wasn't very welcoming and felt more like a meeting room. We were disappointed because when we ordered our aperitifs, we had already mentioned wanting wine. We had to wait until our starters to ask again to order the wine because they had forgotten. The waitress couldn't open the bottle and went off to the bar without a word, presumably to open it. She apologized when she came back and put the cork on the bottle, which wasn't ours because it was red wine and we had ordered white. The dishes were very good but often lacked warmth. According to the waiters, we were given a detailed description of each dish, otherwise they didn't say anything. What bothered us was that each waiter did everything; it would have been much smoother if they had assigned tables. We were served water twice even though someone had already brought it. We were also very disappointed because our hot drinks were supposed to include petits fours when we booked, but we didn't receive any at all. On the other hand, we really enjoyed the musical interlude, which was great, with two people singing. It was a welcome change, as there is absolutely no background music in the restaurant. One last point that I think is essential: as this is a training restaurant, it's a shame that we can't give our feedback after the meal with a questionnaire or something similar, so that the students can improve. The meal was very generous and delicious.

14/02/2026: We came as a couple for Valentine's Day. And we'll never be back. Let me explain: I booked a table at the Vatel Lyon restaurant, hoping to share the Grand Vatel menu, which was presented and recommended to me by the reception staff. Imagine our disappointment when we arrived upstairs, in a sort of conference room converted into a campsite restaurant, complete with a glaring video projector and school chairs. Once seated, we were delighted to discover that it was a set menu, with no possibility of changes, a fact we hadn't been informed of by email. Halfway through the evening, you'll have the pleasure of listening to/enduring a participatory concert worthy of the worst campsites, all while enjoying a bland and tasteless meal that you could easily recreate at home. All this for the modest sum of €180 for two (knowing that this is not a professional service, but rather unqualified apprentices whom we don't want, as they have to learn somehow). In short, a very bad experience! For less money, and much better, I recommend the Bulle restaurant.

27/02/2026: Honestly, a great find! 👍 They take their time there... especially these days... 😜... if you need a break, go there!!

27/02/2026: For a last-minute romantic dinner, we were delighted to discover Le Pailleron. The delicious dishes were served quickly and with friendliness, and the atmosphere was excellent, with a jazz trio playing in the dining room.

21/02/2026: A lovely setting, pleasant service, and top-quality cuisine! Everyone, young and old, thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Macaroni gratin, quenelles, sausage (and its sauce, mmmh!), and the desserts! Profiterole, afternoon tea… we savored every bite! We'll be back!

16/02/2026: Moor café and beautiful location
