Les meilleurs restaurants en Lyon

11/04/2026: Great food. Cozy atmosphere. Top-notch. Always worth a visit.

02/04/2026: I was looking for a tapas bar to share small plates with my friends, but the portions were far too small to even consider sharing anything. Perhaps the hot tapas are better, but after nibbling on a few cold ones, we couldn't imagine satisfying our hunger there. Fine for an aperitif before a meal!

29/04/2026: Every time I'm in Lyon before or after giving a massage, I enjoy stopping by, having lunch at one of the daily specials which nourish me, and today's surprised me! But above all, I love chatting and exchanging ideas with the people who work there!

27/04/2026: Unwelcoming, very exclusive café, catering to a small clientele of regulars. Terrible atmosphere. Cold, irritable, and moody staff. LEARN KINDNESS AND POLITENESS, QUALITIES WHOSE TRUE VALUE YOU UNDERSTAND.

13/03/2026: Served by Jessy. A very pleasant, courteous, and professional waiter. Thank you for your warm welcome and professionalism.

11/03/2026: Never disappointed at Hippopotamus

14/03/2026: Very good! These are the best sushi in Lyon!

14/01/2026: Excellent experience, ultra-fast preparation, great value for money, and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

27/04/2026: The service and food were truly fantastic, and the prices were more than affordable.

14/04/2026: Excellent service/welcome, we had a wonderful time!

27/03/2026: Nice Japanese restaurant with a good balance between quality and price.

11/03/2026: Great experience at Yoki restaurant, very friendly staff and high-quality food. I recommend it!

15/01/2026: A lovely experience for me; I really enjoyed the food, which was very good, and the quenelles were generously served. This wasn't the case for everyone at my table; there were about ten of us! The atmosphere was good, but a bit noisy. Kudos to the service, though—very welcoming, cheerful, and smiling.

10/12/2025: We had a very pleasant time at this establishment. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The portions were well-balanced, allowing us to fully appreciate the three courses on the menu, and the food was of high quality. We weren't as impressed with the dessert, but special mention goes to the butternut squash soup and the pulled pork. We highly recommend it.

01/02/2026: The setting is lovely, the food is pleasant and delicious. This place is a real find in this area, which has very few welcoming bars/restaurants with a nice terrace.

19/01/2026: What more can we say than absolutely fantastic! The decor is a blend of modern and retro, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. There's a lovely, spacious outdoor area with a terrace that we'd be delighted to explore when the weather is nice. The welcome was friendly and professional, with a real focus on customer satisfaction. We wanted to order sweet potato fries, but they refused because they weren't happy with the day's batch; they said they were a failure. We ended up ordering classic homemade fries, which were really good, just like the rest of our meals, which were as generous as they were delicious. In short, we highly recommend this fantastic place, and we can't wait to come back. We don't have any photos to add to this review because we were too busy enjoying ourselves 😉 P.S.: Their apartment, which we rented through Airbnb, was just as lovely.

13/09/2025: Unfortunately, Contre-Champ is not what it used to be. The chef has changed, and the experience is nothing like what you’ll see on Google or in older reviews. The food was disappointing, far below expectations, and the overall quality has dropped dramatically. To make matters worse, the poor waiter had to manage 11 tables completely on his own — service was understandably slow and chaotic, and it was painful to watch him struggle. What used to be a great place has become a real letdown. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal.

13/09/2025: The restaurant has fundamentally changed its concept. Not a disaster in itself, but they should update the links/photos. Completely understaffed, one overwhelmed waiter for the entire dining room. The kitchen is taking it easy meanwhile. Way too hot inside. The food was okay, nothing special. We just wanted to leave...

14/04/2026: Incredible value. Everything was homemade and delicious. Not to be missed!

04/04/2026: I came because of the good reviews, but it was ultimately very disappointing. The food is good, although the tagines were rather small. I would therefore recommend the couscous, which is much more generous! After a reservation for 8, upon arrival, the waiter had already assigned our table, so we had to wait 5-10 minutes while he moved people in the middle of their meal. • Then he seated us at dirty tables, some without cutlery, others without glasses. • The table was loose, and I had to fix it myself with my knife to avoid having the tray on my lap. • The waiter was drinking alcohol, much more than was advisable during service. (At least two 1664 beers and cocktails, asking the cook where the vodka and whiskey were) • Inappropriate jokes and advances, asking if one of my friends was married because he thought she looked cute with her glasses. • Openly asking for tips because we seemed well-off. • We had to endure the same music on repeat six or seven times; I now know Rihanna by heart. • The tea service: the waiter, quite tipsy, wanted to demonstrate his tea-serving skills from a great height, splashing me and my friends with scalding water without even realizing it. • Finally, the bill. The waiter was staggering, unable to fully open his eyes, asking us, the customers, the price of what we had eaten. The tagines, initially €16, became €17 or €18. We demanded a refund for the difference, and he threw us onto the counter. All those red coins screaming (and reeking of alcohol) that it was impossible he could have made a mistake. We were finally able to get a refund, but not without difficulty. Therefore, I deplore the service and the waiter; I absolutely do not recommend the establishment solely because of this, as the food was good, but the experience was ruined. We will never return.

11/04/2026: It was great! Service with a friendly smile, very well located on the terrace and delicious food.

05/04/2026: We stumbled upon this place and we'll gladly return. The welcome is so friendly...the drinks are very well served...a place to remember.

28/02/2026: I was supposed to be celebrating something that day. I went there with my friend at noon. The staff didn't speak a word of French... None of what we wanted was on the menu. No salmon, no langoustines, no fish at all. Beforehand, I had checked my own menu: the prices didn't match what was displayed in the restaurant. For example, they ordered four gratinated oysters, but there they only served three. We had to ask for one more. The mussels were frozen and barely edible. They were also so small we wondered where we'd get them. Again, the waiter lied, saying before we ordered that they would be enormous! My friend ordered a scallop carpaccio. There was one scallop, so small I thought it was just a garnish. To make up for it, they offered me a glass of wine (but not my friend). However, the bill was ENORMOUS. Over €165... And to think I'd been before and the first visit was great.

24/02/2026: Excellent food and excellent hosts

15/04/2026: We ate next to people we didn't know. Cooking on a heated table with a show: flambéed dishes, knife fighting. The chef has a peculiar sense of humor 🤣.

11/04/2026: Thank you so much for the wonderful meal! Some might say the jokes are a bit much, but to each their own. Teppanyaki is all about the taste and the show. See you very soon!

30/04/2026: I had a great time at this Japanese restaurant. The food is simple but good. I recommend it!

13/04/2026: Food was really tasty , people were nice.

19/04/2026: A great vegetarian spot in Lyon for a quick bite: Yaafa 🌱 The falafels are delicious, the pitas are generously filled and bursting with flavor. The set menus are reasonably priced, making it a convenient and tasty option for a quick break. A minor issue with the counter service, which was a bit confusing during our visit: they made a mistake with one of our pitas and inadvertently charged us a bit more. But despite that, the most important thing is that it's really delicious! I'll definitely be back 👍

18/04/2026: Warm welcome from JD & excellent daily special 👌
