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.

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.

05/03/2026: A friendly, family-run, and affordable restaurant. Their signature dish is their savory open-faced sandwiches under €10—there's something for everyone! The menu also features homemade desserts for under €5. A great find on Rue Mercière!

02/03/2026: We were truly charmed by the atmosphere at LA CABANE. The service was outstanding, accompanied by unparalleled cleanliness. We chose the "Fish and Chips" without anticipating that our taste buds would be so delighted by the "Moules Frites" (Mussels and Fries). This shared experience was made possible thanks to our friendship. For dessert, both the chocolate mousse and the crumble were a hit. We were extremely satisfied and plan to return to enjoy this specialty again, while also indulging in the fries and the selection of sauces.

12/12/2025: It's a bit pricey... but lives up to its reputation

12/12/2025: A truly excellent place, whether you're looking for great food, a wonderful atmosphere, or lovely decor... I was already familiar with this restaurant, which has a very good reputation for being a classic Lyonnais bouchon... and now I can say that its reputation is well-deserved. I highly recommend it.

01/03/2026: Always very good, and with a friendly welcome.

28/02/2026: It's a joke. Seriously. The size of the Smash Bros. figures compared to the price. It's pathetic.

31/12/2025: A very good meal, a warm and elegant atmosphere. However, charging us €2 for a takeaway dessert that we couldn't eat in is simply unacceptable... what a lack of business sense!

30/12/2025: The food was decent, but given its online reputation, one expects more. The service was cold and unresponsive to requests. No reason to return.

16/03/2026: A 10/10. The servers were attentive and incredibly friendly. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of Lyonnais dishes, very fast service (even though it was a Saturday night), and more than reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

15/03/2026: Excellent place to discover, hearty and generous cuisine, excellent meat, food just the way we like it.

16/03/2026: An excellent restaurant. We each ordered a starter and a main course for lunch, and everything was delicious and very well executed. The wines were a great match for the meal, and the herbal digestif at the end was a fantastic finishing touch. Our server was very friendly, and the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful lunch.

16/03/2026: The food, service, and atmosphere were perfect. We will definitely return on our next visit to Lyon.

02/03/2026: A superb Lyon gastronomic experience! The staff took excellent care of us. The dishes were delicious and well-balanced. We didn't leave feeling heavy. The atmosphere was friendly, just as we love it in a traditional Lyonnais restaurant. Very good value for money! I highly recommend it.

26/02/2026: Warm and friendly welcome, superb food!

06/03/2026: A fantastic time! The manager is really lovely, thank you for the warm welcome and helpful advice. The atmosphere is truly wonderful, you immediately feel at ease. We can't wait to try the ostrich egg! 😊 Thanks again for this wonderful experience. 🥚

21/02/2026: Recommended by locals from Lyon, a very good restaurant. Service, quantity and quality of dishes, decor... everything is great.

15/03/2026: Superb bistro! The food is excellent, the welcome is perfect, the team is very friendly, the chef comes to your table and explains how the dishes are prepared—a true enthusiast... and finally, a very convivial atmosphere! A wonderful time! I highly recommend it.

14/03/2026: A true gem! Café du Jura is exactly what you'd expect from an authentic Lyonnais bistro. The welcome is warm, the service attentive, and the atmosphere convivial, just the way we love it in Lyon. On the plate, you immediately taste the expertise of a Master Chef: fresh ingredients, perfectly executed homemade cuisine, and generous flavors that celebrate Lyonnaise tradition. Each dish is prepared with care, and this is evident in both the quality and the presentation. A place where you truly enjoy sitting down, whether for lunch with friends or a gourmet dinner. An address that more than lives up to its reputation and where you'll already want to return. Bravo to the whole team for this delightful experience!

18/03/2026: Nice bar, very popular, which can make it quite noisy and difficult to talk to other patrons. However, the service is responsive and attentive to customers.

17/03/2026: A place I particularly love, both summer and winter, because it's always warm and inviting and delicious! Thank you for your hospitality and the variety and quality of the tapas!

02/03/2026: A place that truly embodies what you'd expect from a traditional Lyonnais bistro: the restaurant's atmosphere, the quality of the food, and a super friendly owner!

02/03/2026: A lovely time. The waitress was adorable...the meal was excellent. Thank you for the atmosphere.

05/03/2026: A visit that won't happen! No table for two available for March 7th. Only tables for one or three people. Since Tuesday, I've tried contacting the restaurant about ten times, only to get the answering machine... which doesn't take messages. I sent a message via the website's contact form. No response. I'm very disappointed by this silence. What started as a desire to try this restaurant's cuisine has ultimately resulted in a boycott. Lyon has plenty of other restaurants, ready to welcome customers who want to discover them. It's great when the food is good, it's great when they respond...

02/03/2026: A small, traditional Lyonnais restaurant serving homemade cuisine. The portions are very generous. The waitress is very friendly. A culinary experience not to be missed.
