Les meilleurs restaurants en Lyon

24/04/2026: I'd been searching for good grilled fish for so long, and after several disappointments, I lost faith in it. Until I decided to try it at LE CONAKRY 🤩 My taste buds took a journey that transcends the universe: it was so magnificently delicious, from the chili that really hit me, to the side dish, including the seasoning, and the fish's charred edges, which met all the criteria of a true BRAISED FISH 😭 ps: Le Conakry, please remember to add starters to your menu (treats, snacks, etc.) while you wait for your meal: everyone wins.

05/04/2026: Well-priced and good West African cuisine

25/03/2026: Madam, I love you very much and have been coming to your restaurant often for the past 10 years, but you must take the problem of these myths seriously. They appeared six months ago, and you are not taking the necessary steps to effectively address them. Your food is delicious, but this problem prevents me from returning until it is resolved. Please take action on this issue.

22/03/2026: One of the best restaurants in Lyon. Perfect timing with the weather... Thanks and see you soon!! Proof in the photo. And I've been back several times!! Back again in 2026. Still as good as ever, thanks

27/06/2025: This kebab is killer! Flavorful meat, generous portions, and the homemade bread makes all the difference. I'll be back as soon as possible.

25/06/2025: Very good and clean and fresh!👍❤️

03/05/2026: This place is disreputable. The manager tried to impress me by boasting that he does combat sports and wouldn't hesitate to beat me to a pulp with one hand! Give me a break!

18/04/2026: Great place to relax and play billiards! The atmosphere is friendly, the staff is helpful, and the managers are welcoming. Definitely a nice spot to spend time with friends.

01/04/2025: We had a great event with Pignouf & Food Runners Club: smash burgers so good, a great team and such a cool atmosphere! Go to Pignouf :)

31/03/2025: Not coffee at 6 PM? Service horrible, not even offered something else.

10/05/2026: Nice hotel to stay, good breakfast and excellent location

06/05/2026: Great hotel in a quiet part of Lyon, 5 minutes walk to a major train station. The only issue was the lack of a restaurant on site, which is good to have after a long day of sightseeing. Thankfully, there are nearby restaurants.

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.

15/02/2026: Mixed feelings about our Valentine's Day evening aboard the Hermès II (Bateaux Lyonnais) The cruise was unfortunately canceled at the last minute due to safety concerns related to bad weather. It's obviously a shame for an evening like this, even though we were assured of a refund. The boat is pleasant, nicely decorated with pink lighting, a few (fabric) rose petals, and small (also fabric) bouquets on the tables, adding a romantic touch. The welcome and service were warm and attentive throughout the evening. However, the Valentine's Day meal was a disappointment. The amuse-bouche was uninspired. The velouté served as a starter lacked flavor; several tables even asked for salt and pepper. The vol-au-vent was quite good (one to share). The main course—John Dory fillet, Beaujolais sauce velouté, sweet potato mousseline, and baby spinach—was decent, but not memorable, with little garnish. The dessert was rather disappointing and failed to provide a memorable ending to the meal. Another major drawback was the wine. We opted for the drinks package, but the quality fell far short of our expectations, and we both experienced heartburn. In short, the atmosphere and service were acceptable, but the food won't be remembered fondly.

13/02/2026: A terrible experience. We booked a cruise for my birthday, which was cancelled at the last minute because the boat wasn't running. Already very disappointing. We decided to give it another try for Valentine's Day... and again, the boat didn't sail and simply remained docked. No compensation whatsoever, despite the two disappointments. You book a cruise to go sailing, not to stay put! For the price paid, this is truly unacceptable. I do not recommend it!

17/04/2026: Great find, a wonderful discovery! Very good restaurant with a lovely hidden patio. The truffle pasta is delicious 😋

30/12/2025: My favorite place in Croix Rousse, it's delicious and they're so nice 🫶🏻

30/11/2025: We organized a family birthday celebration with about twenty people. We received a wonderful welcome. The food and wines were exquisite and of excellent quality. I highly recommend it.

27/11/2025: The wait and service were far from commensurate with the price. It took an hour between arrival and being served. The dishes were tasty but not filling.

10/04/2026: Un lieu très cosy et atypiques avec un patron très original on se y sent bien et on manges bien

11/03/2026: Very nice decor. Relaxed atmosphere. The menu mainly features tapas. Well prepared. Real desserts. Gourmet coffee available here.

15/01/2026: A friendly, welcoming place with authentic and delicious food. I recommend it. :)

14/01/2026: I bought two portions of osso buco from the Buongiorno deli just before Christmas, at €13.90 each. Unfortunately, I was disappointed: the meat was very dry, tough, and barely edible, with a noticeable lack of sauce, which is a shame for a dish that's supposed to be slow-cooked. The day before, I had osso buco at a restaurant right next door for €15, and the comparison was stark: melt-in-your-mouth meat, a generous sauce, and a delicious dish. For just a little more, the experience was nowhere near as good. It's a pity, because at that price, you expect much better from such an iconic dish.

21/04/2026: The meal itself was good, but the chef and we clearly have different ideas about what constitutes "hot." After a decent starter, we received a main course that wasn't the one we had chosen, but it was acceptable. However, it was cold, and the chef came over to tell us that his bain-maries were hot, so there was no reason to complain. The icing on the cake came when, at the time of payment, the chef, who is also the owner, condescendingly said, as we were saying goodbye, "Goodbye!" We were four tables in the veranda, and three of us said it was cold for them too! In short, after more than 10 years of being treated like customers, we'll go elsewhere, like La Popotte à Nicole, where everything is top-notch! The waiters, on the other hand, seemed very embarrassed and did everything they could to lighten the mood.

19/04/2026: A wonderful experience at this Croix-Rousse restaurant. It's still too early in the season to try their indoor terrace, but we'll be back to test it. The food is high-quality and generous, and the chef has a masterful command of sauces. Pure homemade bliss. A nice touch: the complimentary cervelle de canut (a cheese spread) served with a few slices of bread as an appetizer. Impeccable service from the young waitress and waiter, who were always smiling and clearly happy to be working. A great find!

20/12/2025: We went to Ares restaurant for our Christmas shopping… We had a wonderful time with Fernanda and Ama… The Italian food was delicious!!! Go there, you'll be delighted with the welcome… Aurora, Maïté, Tracy, Manu, and Lisa ☺️👏

13/12/2025: A truly wonderful discovery. From the welcome to the service and the quality of the food, everything was flawless. Thank you.

17/01/2026: We arrived as a couple, and the waiter just looked at us without saying a word. Neither did we 😂 After ten seconds, I finally blurted out, "Can we eat?" He pointed to a table. We sat down, but the table was sticky. I gestured to him to ask if we could move, but no luck. So we took another table next door… also sticky. Anyway, I ordered. I chose a pig's stomach soup. Five minutes later, he brought me a large bowl of tripe soup, explaining that they were out of stomach. The soup was very good, piping hot, and very spicy—perfect for a 2°C (36°F) day. In short: terrible service, good food but ridiculously expensive, with a simple bowl of rice costing €4.

14/01/2026: Excellent experience at Chez Riz 🥢😊. The dishes are flavorful, well-balanced, and generous, featuring authentic Chinese recipes 🍜🔥. The Peking duck and stir-fried noodles are definitely worth trying 😋. Fast service, discreet and efficient staff 👍. Simple yet friendly atmosphere, perfect for a lunch or dinner without any unpleasant surprises. A reliable address in Lyon 👌
