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

03/02/2026: It all started with a birthday gift from the Confluence shopping center. I decided to try the Vapiano restaurant. What a treat! I received a very warm welcome (from the blue-eyed waiter); He didn't hesitate to suggest a different dish than the one I had chosen—kudos for his professionalism! The restaurant's atmosphere is superb, with great background music. I really want to thank him for his kind gesture at the end of my meal, which made the experience truly special. I highly recommend it!

01/02/2026: An extremely disappointing experience on every level. The food arrived barely lukewarm: undercooked pasta, bland, tasteless pizzas. There was no skill in the kitchen, and no enjoyment in eating. The service was incomprehensibly slow, especially since the restaurant requires ordering via QR code and payment before being served, ostensibly to save time. Given the poor quality of the meal, one wonders if this system isn't simply a way to avoid complaints or prevent customers from leaving without paying. Drinks are advertised as available on the app, but then suddenly become unavailable once the order is placed. For children, the syrup cups were sticky and served without any care. As for family-friendly options, it was a complete failure: all the tables were high, but the high chairs weren't the right height, making the meal uncomfortable and unsafe. And only three high chairs for a full restaurant speaks volumes about the consideration given to families. The desserts are just like everything else: tasteless, poorly executed, and underwhelming. To top it all off, the value for money is simply shameful considering the service offered. This establishment is poorly managed and disorganized, with no regard for quality or customer comfort. It's an address that charges a premium for a mediocre experience and is clearly not worth the trip.

01/06/2026: Go to the restroom first, then you can judge the restaurant. Food mediocre.

31/05/2026: Great meal and the pianist who played was fantastic! It's a shame the toilets aren't accessible (they're upstairs)...

10/05/2026: Very good, typical Lyonnais dishes. However, the service is very slow. Nice in good weather as we ate on the pedestrian street.

02/05/2026: Excellent food, fast and efficient service. We had a reservation. There were five of us and we ordered: Lyonnaise salad, warm goat cheese salad, andouillette sausage, quenelle, beef bourguignon, hamburger, pistachio sausage, chocolate mousse, lemon meringue pie, praline tart, and chocolate banana tart. EVERYTHING was delicious.

24/05/2026: If you're not a regular, steer clear. At noon, with the terrace three-quarters empty, we were seated inside because the owner told us the terrace was "reserved" for regulars. What a shame, we could have become regulars! The food is good, homemade, and the waitresses are friendly... The atmosphere inside is noisy... Our reservation was refused by phone that same morning.

15/05/2026: I think the picture speaks for itself... Disastrous service, a long wait just to unfold the shade canopy and clear our table. They didn't ask us once if we were satisfied. At the end of the meal, I pointed out to the manager the price of this soulless dish (a 6-year-old could have made it), sold for €15! The man across from me replied, "The prices are clearly displayed!" Excuse me, sir! Can a salad have any character at that price, seriously! I told him I was shocked, and he replied with an arrogant and disdainful air, "It only shocks you, and it'll stay that way!" I work in sales; when a customer isn't satisfied, we try to find some compensation. This man clearly doesn't understand that concept. Please like my review to see if it really only shocks me!!

05/06/2026: Not cheap, but the French toast was so good—thick slices inside and crispy outside. The service and welcome were excellent. The terrace was pleasantly furnished, cool and shaded in the morning, with a feel-good playlist playing on the outdoor speakers.

03/06/2026: Nice croissants! Great atmosphere

19/05/2026: We went with a Groupon voucher. I ordered a beer with a small chip in the glass. See photo. Everything wasn't as advertised on the voucher. The main course was bland, the gratin a bit dry, there weren't many vegetables on the plate, and the chocolate mousse was hard! Not really a mousse! A bit expensive for two, even with the Groupon code. We were a little disappointed!

10/05/2026: Excellent experience. We ate very well. The service was great. I highly recommend this restaurant! 👍

18/03/2026: My absolute favourite 'french' lunch cafe in Lyon. Local cuisine, local community and local heart.

10/03/2026: The meal was decent but the dining room was noisy, and to top it off, the owner was smoking a cigar inside.

23/04/2026: I had lunch today, April 23, 2026, with my friend. Once again, we appreciated the warm welcome, the cleanliness, the excellent service, and the meal. Our choice of salmon puff pastry with sorrel sauce was very good. We will gladly return very soon. We highly recommend this place... and the price is very reasonable for the quality and service. Thank you and congratulations to the whole team.

05/03/2026: A very warm and friendly welcome. A very pleasant time with my family. I'm happy to share this meal with my family, who aren't familiar with Maison Pignol. For us, it was delicious; they'll be back. As for me, I've been a loyal customer of all Pignol shops for over 35 years now. The place is very clean and very pleasant. It's very difficult to leave without trying a pastry, especially the lemon tart—it's the best tart in Lyon.

12/05/2026: GREAT!!! Lovely waitstaff great location good prices!!!!!!!

25/04/2026: Great little neighborhood cafe with a lovely manager

18/04/2026: Excellent bar! Great atmosphere and very, very friendly staff. I highly recommend it!

25/01/2026: Best bar of my life, Mika is the GOAT and he dances very well. He's a very good chef and bartender. I'd even recommend this place to my grandmother.

14/06/2026: Really great! Thanks to Maxime, he's fantastic!

14/06/2026: Bravo and thank you to Clément, Léon, and the young bartender who took such good care of us. The flank steak and pepper sauce were to die for. We'll definitely be back.

30/05/2026: End-of-year gala. Great show. Spacious ice rink.

17/05/2026: Wonderful moments shared with family and friends. It's been too long since I went back, but I'm so glad I gave my daughter the chance to discover skating. She loved it!

01/04/2026: The evenings offered a wide variety of music styles, showcasing many new collectives and amateur DJs. The atmosphere was very family-friendly. However, the bouncers were unfriendly. They definitely ruined the spirit of the place. People have stopped coming because the bouncers were completely out of touch with the venue's atmosphere.

30/03/2026: Cool place, the organizers were great, but on Thursday, February 6th, one of the DJs crossed the line with the customers.

29/05/2026: Salad did not taste good at all. Too many small flies over your food, it gives you a feeling the place is not clean. Chicken is cold and taste dry.

28/05/2026: I'm disappointed by the Liège chocolate… A very average scoop of ice cream, with whipped cream that tasted more like regular whipped cream! And at the exorbitant price of €13. Le Négociant isn't what it used to be, what a shame!
