Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française dans le arrondissement Lyon-2E de Lyon

28/10/2025: We had a great meal at the Institute. The food was exquisite, and the staff attentive. I highly recommend this place.

25/03/2026: Top-notch food and service!!! A true Lyonnais restaurant!!! Bravo!!!

24/03/2026: The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout the meal. The quenelle was amazing, by far the best. All the dishes were generous, and we wanted for nothing! They also had a good wine list, and we're delighted every time we come!

26/02/2026: Delicious, light pizzas, topped just right. Very welcoming and the restaurant isn't too noisy. Quick and efficient service!

21/02/2026: Probably the best tiramisu I've ever had! It's homemade and it shows. The pizzas are very good and there's a lot of choice.

08/03/2026: It's okay. However, the wine list has changed. I tried L'Amicaille but it wasn't there, so I was suggested to try Fontaine Cagnard instead, but that's... not a good recommendation. Luckily, there was Fuso Cazzetti, so I ordered it myself and had a good one. And after I arrived and spoke to the female manager, I heard her turn around and use a mysterious onomatopoeia, "ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba" with her colleagues. I'm worried it might be a racist remark or a sarcastic remark about my hasty arrival. Please correct me if I misunderstood. At 7:20, I was the only customer. Still... I recommended the Fuso tasting.

07/03/2026: It's flawless. Comfort. Delicacy. Originality. Impeccable service. Delicious dishes. Deserves a second star.

22/02/2026: It's always a great pleasure to return to Le Vivarais. Audrey and William's cuisine is excellent. The dining room is pleasant, and the service staff is perfect.

22/02/2026: A quality bouillon restaurant. Very warm welcome. Refined dishes that respect Lyon's culinary traditions. Excellent wine recommendations. We were pleasantly surprised by the chef's visit to our table before we left to ask our opinion. If we return to Lyon, we will choose this bouillon restaurant without hesitation.

30/01/2026: It's been a very long time since we've had such a good meal at a restaurant. The dishes were generous, well-balanced, and sophisticated. The place is beautiful, welcoming, and warm. And the service was perfect. A wonderful discovery; we'll be back and we highly recommend it!

27/01/2026: A relaxed atmosphere and excellent food – a wonderful discovery! I highly recommend it! The servers explained each dish and gave us advice. The place is calm and relaxing.

13/02/2026: Fantastic place. Every dish was an explosion of flavor, you could sense the passion behind every dish. EXCELLENT service! The wine selection was enviable, just as perfect as everything else! Wow, well done!

03/02/2026: Always a wonderful experience! From the service and the ever-improving selection of natural wines to the top-notch homemade cuisine, Le Troquet is a true delight! The little beef cheek croquettes are simply melt-in-your-mouth sweets. The fried chicken, a modern twist on karaage, is perfect. And even the desserts, including homemade chocolate mousse, are fantastic, with a particular favorite being the walnut and praline cream tart—wow, I recommend ordering one dessert per person! They offer excellent advice on wines and pairings, always with great suggestions. We simply had a wonderful time. A must-visit for tourists and locals alike! It's one of the best wine bars in Lyon. Bravo!

31/03/2026: This restaurant needs no introduction. It was our first time in Lyon, and this address was on our must-visit list from the start. Tradition and incredibly friendly service perfectly complemented the classic dishes. Thank you, France, thank you, Lyon, thank you, Naby!

29/03/2026: No complaints about the meal. However, the owner's behavior was bizarre. You should really consider changing your spirits menu; verbena appears in the Chartreuse section (which seemed odd to me, but why not, I figured it might be a special vintage only restaurants have). There's a way to speak to people. Pagès verbena (ORGANIC, ABOVE ALL! The best in the world!!!) You know who I am, buddy. Also, just so you know, when serving and clearing tables, avoid pushing customers. We can discuss this further in person if you'd like; with the rush and the number of people at the table, we didn't have time to talk things through properly. This is the first time in my life I've ever left a comment about something like this, but the behavior shocked everyone at the table. P.S.: I don't see the connection between being more than expected and your deplorable behavior. Luckily your employee was there; his service was perfect, unlike yours. Perhaps it wasn't your day, or maybe you weren't yourself? You'll do better next time, I'm sure of it, young man. And please, don't act like you know everything about wines and spirits, especially when you don't know the level of knowledge of the people in front of you…

27/03/2026: My daughter and I arrived first, but we were served after other people who had been seated after us. We didn't order white wine or champagne, so we didn't receive the small olives served as an aperitif. I think there's a dress code for being served, as some of the other people in the restaurant that day were dressed appropriately. Perhaps it wasn't classy enough for them. Disappointed; clothes don't make the man, as they say. As for the meal, it met our expectations: original and decent.

25/03/2026: We went to this restaurant somewhat randomly, and it was a wonderful discovery. What I particularly missed was the friendliness and professionalism of the waiter, and of course, the house specialty: the frog leg dish. Moreover, it wasn't very busy that day, creating an intimate atmosphere that I loved.

16/03/2026: Great bar, great welcome from the staff!!

15/03/2026: A great bar! Very friendly, the servers are lovely, we had a great time 🫶😎

04/03/2026: Quite bland, the dishes seemed to have been microwaved, the meat wasn't cooked properly, and the presentation was unappetizing. The service, however, was very good and the waiter was very friendly. I won't be returning.

04/03/2026: Very welcoming and good value for money. Fast service. I recommend it :)

20/11/2025: Delicious and the staff were so friendly!

20/11/2025: A wonderful experience! The owner is very friendly and the food is excellent, featuring Vietnamese specialties and French cuisine. I go there regularly and am never disappointed.

01/02/2026: Great atmosphere, the food was excellent! Thank you for the service, Faustine!

30/01/2026: Very practical for a group with good value for money. The staff is accommodating and the welcome is very friendly.

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).

02/03/2026: Good restaurant, interesting food

11/03/2026: Nathanaël, the server was amazing!!! You dreamed it, he made it happen, thanks for the ginger beer!!! Prometheus and the whole gang

09/03/2026: Amazing experience! Excellent service from a very friendly staff, and the service was quite fast and good!
