15/10/2026: It's always a pleasure to eat at this unique restaurant. The chef will guide you with enthusiasm and passion on this culinary journey. Philippe

15/10/2026: A very pleasant surprise!!!!! We had an unforgettable dinner at L’Étage! First of all, the restaurant is located on the second floor of a building facing the square, which makes the view beautiful!!!!! There are very few tables, so you absolutely need to make a reservation, and if you cancel you have to pay a fee, which is extremely fair considering there are only 6 tables in the whole restaurant! It's a super intimate atmosphere, and the chef himself serves you and tells you the story of the restaurant, of Lyon, and other things! An unforgettable experience! We ordered the lobster menu and everything was delicious!!!!!! Don't miss it! It's really worth it!!!!

12/10/2026: What a wonderful discovery! We stumbled upon this little side street by chance and found ourselves right in front of the small bouchon (a typical lunch spot). It felt incredibly authentic, and we received a very warm welcome amidst the locals. Since we initially sat down on our own, there was a brief moment of awkwardness, but it quickly dissipated. It's customary to wait, especially for newcomers. After the first few sips of the house wine, however, the atmosphere relaxed, and we no longer felt like strangers. We laughed with our tablemates and thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic meal. It was a wonderful experience off the beaten tourist track in Lyon. We are very grateful and would like to sincerely thank the hostess for her understanding and patience with us newcomers. We also thank the other guests for their kindness. We are deeply impressed.

05/10/2026: A fantastic welcome, excellent cuisine, everything was perfect! The Antibes team 😃

09/10/2026: It's a good restaurant. The food is quite well done, but it lacks a certain finesse. You often see tables of office workers there, and it's true that it's good, it's efficient, and if you want to be sure your meal goes well and pleases everyone, it's a place to consider. For a gourmet, it lacks adventure, boldness, and precision, but for someone looking for a place to chat over a pleasant meal, without expecting anything more, and where everyone feels comfortable, it's perfect. The seating is comfortable, there's a good selection, the prices are reasonable, the decor is understated and tasteful, there's a list of affordable local wines, and the service is pleasant and efficient. It should be noted that there's no terrace and that the entrance has a step, which makes it difficult for people with reduced mobility to access. Otherwise, everything is fine, even for vegetarians, who are catered for with a few dishes.

09/10/2026: Excellent restaurant, with quality cuisine, local produce, and homemade dishes. A warm welcome and a pleasant experience. I highly recommend it!

23/10/2026: A really fun evening with friends, the Halloween atmosphere was there early and perfect, thanks to Zak

02/10/2026: A wonderful family experience at this Lyon institution. The service and passion of the staff made this evening truly unique. Thank you for this incredible moment.

01/10/2026: As soon as you're ushered to one of the beautiful dining rooms, you'll know why La Mere Brazier has two Michelin stars. Fabulous atmosphere only exceeded by the amazing food. We loved every bite. Not to be missed!

03/10/2026: An excellent place! The dishes are delicious, generous, and perfectly prepared. The service is very friendly, smiling, and attentive. A lovely, typical Lyonnais bouchon atmosphere; you immediately feel at home. We had a wonderful time.

01/10/2026: Delicious food at reasonable prices: 2 prix fix menus for lunch! Friendly staff too

26/09/2026: Great restaurant, friendly and welcoming staff, and excellent food. I had booked for 3 to be sure, and although we arrived among the first, the restaurant filled up quickly.

12/09/2026: A huge thank you for this wonderful evening! The food was excellent, flavorful, and prepared with care. The chef's recommendation was a real gem that delighted our palates. The meal was accompanied by a superb selection of wines, perfectly paired with the dishes. A big thank you also to the front-of-house team: the service was exceptionally warm, attentive, and friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant in Lyon – we will definitely be back!

02/09/2026: First evening in Lyon with a bit of a disappointment: truly bland risotto... mussels with only their shells... flavorless prawns... rice and peas so over-inflated with flavor that they lost their flavor; the cheeses on the finish were truly embarrassing... high prices for the quality of the dishes.

16/10/2026: Everything was excellent! We loved it.

15/10/2026: A delightful escape for food lovers, where the service is attentive, competent, and lighthearted—a welcome respite from the overbearing formalities of fine dining. The culinary experience is both varied and traditional, and the wine pairing menu lives up to its promise.

27/09/2026: Pleasant restaurant, very welcoming and service, attention to specific needs. Quality food.

22/09/2026: We discovered this restaurant by chance and it was a very pleasant surprise. The food is really good and made with fresh ingredients.

22/09/2026: A really great restaurant in Lyon! There's something for everyone, with Lyonnaise specialties and exceptional daily specials. Kudos to the chef, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal… a very good daily special, a generous portion, the flavors were spot on, and the presentation was magnificent.

21/09/2026: I discovered this restaurant at a birthday party. The welcome and service were very friendly, and the setting was lovely. The drinks, especially the red and white wines and the beer, as well as the large mixed platter and the rugs, were excellent. I highly recommend this place, particularly if you're planning a private party.

05/10/2026: A wonderful experience at L'Atelier des Augustins for our daughter's 18th birthday. Every dish was inventive and delicious. We particularly enjoyed the coriander/fir ice cream with carrot juice, which was served after the main courses to introduce the desserts. It was excellent. Both desserts were subtly sweet and surprisingly delightful. We especially loved the olive dessert. The service was professional without being stuffy. The chef kindly came to greet us at the end of dinner. We will definitely return to try a new menu.

03/10/2026: Truly original and varied cuisine in a very welcoming setting. Kudos for the inventive and delicious recipes!

05/10/2026: Everyone else seated after us received their food before us. Thirty-five minutes after our order was placed the waiter made it clear in a roundabout way that he had not put our order into the kitchen and did not remember what we ordered. We received our food 50 minutes after placing our order and after everyone else seated after us were mostly done with their dinners. Our dishes felt rushed and were overcooked and soggy. Very disappointing.

19/09/2026: Wine, food, stuff…all perfect 🥂😮‍💨❤️

16/10/2026: A wonderful discovery in every respect. Excellent food, a cozy atmosphere, and top-notch service.

10/10/2026: Very good! I was slightly surprised by the price of the wine glasses, but the meal was excellent! Thank you.

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.
