Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française dans le arrondissement Lyon-1Er de Lyon

09/07/2025: We almost didn’t make it to this restaurant as L’Etage is hidden behind an old door, but we are so pleased we did. It was the highlight of our stay in Lyon and of our two week holiday in France. Guillame multi-tasks as the waiter, chef and raconteur. The food was exquisite, Michelin star worthy and we loved the choice of wines. Such an intimate space with only 6 tables and fabulous views out onto the square and fountain. We only had a 2 night stay in Lyon but learnt so much of the history from Guillame which really brought the city alive for us. We will be recommending to all our friends. Thankyou Guillame.

09/07/2025: Once again, L'Etage delighted us: an explosion of flavors and perfect service. Thanks to Nicolas and Chef G. Mallet.

22/09/2024: It comes from the 94 heavy crazy smoothie clasik heavy French toast I highly recommend

22/09/2024: Perfect service as usual, nothing to say, you can go there with your eyes closed

02/01/2025: Really nice place, cozy atmosphere and fair prices. The food was really great, a great Lyonnais bouchon place. The set menu was really delicious. Definitely a great Lyonnais restaurant to try if you are in Lyon.

31/12/2024: I live in the United States, and my little brother lives in Lyon. During my visit after several years of absence in France, one of my wishes was to eat in a Lyonnais cork. My brother managed to get a reservation for 14 people. We were warmly welcomed. The food was delicious, and the service impeccable. Our children and teenagers also loved it. I recommend this restaurant 100%!

28/05/2025: A top-notch meal with unbeatable value for money. A time constraint was met without compromising on excellent service. Thank you.

06/12/2025: I've been waiting for my food for an hour. And it's clearly not going to arrive anytime soon.

05/12/2025: A €14 salad consisting mainly of lettuce leaves! The Caesar salad had mayonnaise dressing and a few breaded pieces of chicken. No croutons. The Parmesan had no flavor. Avoid it.

26/01/2025: Very nice experience, very good synchronized team, discreet. We had a good time as a couple, small problem, perhaps, the musical background is perhaps not adapted to the place, it's a personal choice, but dining in a gourmet restaurant, while being relaxed, that's it. This is modern cuisine...

24/01/2025: Sensational menu in 2 star quality. Very creative and innovative. Very calm and concentrated team in an absolutely open kitchen. Absolute experience.

14/09/2024: An extremely enjoyable meal, with excellent service and ambiance. Every dish and amuse bouche was creative, delicious, and beautifully presented.

13/09/2024: The food, atmosphere and service were excellent. Every dish was well prepared, explained well and delicious. We asked for a custom wine pairing by course and it was spot on.

11/12/2025: Exceptional moments! Thank you and best of luck with your work, which you do with such passion. THANK YOU THANK YOU

08/12/2025: A lovely meal on a Sunday during the Festival of Lights with friends. A warm welcome, a beautiful setting, and delicious food. A classic bouchon-style meal; the dishes were tasty and generous! As a bonus, a quick photo with the owner – thank you to him for this delightful touch, which we truly appreciated. This restaurant is a sure bet; we will definitely be back!

17/12/2024: excellent place for weekend lunch. the risotto is a real delight!

09/12/2024: excellent main course (scallops and prawns, brown rice) and perfectly presented, original starter (chestnut soup) superbly presented. We can regret the need for a supplement for 1 dish out of three when the price is already high-end

22/09/2024: Excellent table, limited menu of perfectly executed dishes, careful presentation. A very good mastery from starter to dessert, the recipes are spiced up with aromatics in just the right quantity, very tasty, very fresh. A cuisine with an obvious personality, which is a pleasure to taste. The 3-course menu is superb in its quality/price ratio. Very nice wine list, selective and a bit too expensive for some bottles, but we were well advised and the Burgundy was really delicious. The setting is cozy, warm, elegantly decorated. Friendly and impeccable service. A restaurant often recommended, and it is completely deserved.

21/09/2024: Delicious and impeccable service

07/07/2025: Genuinely some of the worst food I’ve ever had. The food was almost pure fat and was very expensive. Was a very memorable meal for all the wrong reasons. Food took a long time to come (ordered the prefix menu). The service was extremely snobby and didn’t speak english. Somehow they couldn’t understand the google translate to french either and brought a well done piece of lamb when I asked for medium rare. Surprised they would let a dish like that leave the kitchen - don’t let the pictures fool you! Given the reputation of food in Lyon this was more than a disappointment and I’d go as far to say it was an embarrassment to the city. The only way it could have been worse is if I got food poisoned but thats impossible because nothing edible was served!

26/06/2025: It's impossible to miss its purple storefront, both elegant and unique, a foretaste of what awaits you inside. At Albert, the cuisine is refined, creative, and masterful, with dishes full of meaning and seasonality. The chef offers a personal and modern interpretation of the product, without ever overdoing it. An intimate atmosphere, attentive service, and true consistency from start to finish. A discreet gem in the 1st arrondissement... that fully deserves to be in the spotlight.

21/09/2024: A gem to discover and whose address should be carefully kept in your notebook We enjoyed ourselves, the dishes were generous, excellent sweetbreads with morels and a melt-in-the-mouth praline tart and let's not forget the sparkling Bugey which is worth its grattons dish. Thank you for your kindness

12/09/2024: What a great restaurant! Typical French home cooking in absolute perfection. I've had much worse meals in restaurants awarded a Michelin star. The “Oeufs en meurette” as a starter, the “Poulet au ail” as the main course and the “Parfait poire” as a dessert were my menu of choice and the price was ridiculously low for the quality presented. As I said, it feels like you're a millimeter away from the Michelin star here. In short: I have rarely eaten better and am very grateful for the experience.

21/11/2025: A classic for night owls and those with a serious appetite. You're always well received here as long as you have the card. So be prepared and don't forget it at home to enjoy the incredible and unique atmosphere of this place that will always feed you well in the middle of the night ✨🪩🕺

21/11/2025: It's incredible to get lost in Lyon and discover paradises like this place! Thank you for that! Long live France, long live Lyon 🤩
