Les meilleurs restaurants en Lyon

10/05/2026: The tuna was excellent, as were the vegetables, which isn't usually my strong suit, just like the meringue; my guests enjoyed the dish of the day. The service was perfect. The only slight drawback was due to your popularity; it was a bit noisy... Perhaps age explains this. Thank you for these wonderful moments, both in the restaurant and in the kitchen. Hubert Vidal

05/05/2026: The Verdict: A beautiful spot for a drink to enjoy the decor, but the inconsistent service and strange Parisian attitude from the waitress make it hard to recommend for a full meal. The Atmosphere & Logistics The restaurant is undeniably beautiful and enjoys a prime location right by Brotteaux station in the lovely 6th arrondissement. The decor is tasteful, and the initial booking process over the phone was seamless and straightforward. The Food The meal was alright, but ultimately didn't live up to the city's culinary reputation. The Charolais tartare was okay but nothing special, and also didn’t poison me, so that’s a benefit. The Lyonnaise salad was perfectly edible but failed to leave a lasting impression. The Service: This is where the experience became truly inconsistent. We were initially greeted by a very warm, welcoming waitress who set a great tone. However, the server who took over for the rest of the evening was markedly cold and bordering on unfriendly. What made the experience particularly strange was that I was dining with a Lyonnaise friend, born and raised in the city, who was handling the ordering and translation. Despite this, the server maintained a haughty, dismissive attitude; honestly, she felt like she was pretending to be Parisian. Given the legendary hospitality typically found in Lyonnaise bistros, this frosty reception was a disappointing contrast that unfortunately left a sour taste in my mouth.

03/07/2026: I came for lunch with my family on Thursday evening. We were very warmly welcomed by the staff, who were very pleasant and smiling. The menu is extensive and the food excellent. Thank you for your kindness and professionalism, as well as for the quality of your cuisine.

02/08/2026: Limited selection... The meat dishes in sauce were okay... But I wouldn't come back. The desserts are best forgotten. The cold water was fine... but too hard.

19/06/2026: An average experience. Ordering just a salad and dessert with a glass of wine isn't appreciated at this restaurant; they pressured us into ordering the salad as a main course. Well, no... the salad will suffice, thank you. This has been passed around the kitchen; please be discreet, gentlemen, you are talking about customers who might potentially return. The recipe for gravlax salmon is "raw salmon fillet marinated in coarse salt, sugar, herbs, and lemon," not just ordinary smoked salmon. The same goes for the cervelle de canut; that's not what was in the salad... however, for dessert, there was a real cervelle de canut, but you took revenge with the pepper. Too bad...

25/06/2026: A tiny, charming restaurant just steps from Place des Terreaux, right at the foot of the Croix Rousse hill, where I've dined several times and always gladly return when I want to relive (or share with others) the intimate and evocative experience of an evening in the dim light of its rooms filled with objects. Undoubtedly, the restaurant's defining characteristic is its D'Annunzio-esque atmosphere, which I believe remains the main reason people choose it and remember it. However, I must say that the cuisine doesn't rest on the laurels of its fascinating horror vacui and remains consistently good (though I must admit that it has almost always provided me and my guests with both pleasant surprises and minor disappointments on the same evening). I've recently discovered their cocktails, too, which reinterpret classics with that touch of originality you'd expect from such an unconventional place: the Negroni with rosemary smokiness and the Spritz with elderflower liqueur are truly excellent, but I recommend asking the price before ordering, as they risk skyrocketing your dinner bill, which otherwise usually remains within a reasonable range, appropriate for the unique nature of the place and its location. For those wondering, the restaurant's name is a tribute to Jacques Demy's iconic 1967 musical comedy of the same name (known in Italian as "Joséphine"), as confirmed by the many photographs and illustrations on the walls depicting Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac, the stars of the famous film. Reservations are highly recommended, given the limited seating available. Try it on a winter evening to appreciate its perfect climate... and you'll be back in the summer too ;-)

10/06/2026: Exceptional for the decor, the food and the service

08/05/2026: Too good food. Especially Chef Pauls tasty recipes very beautiful and to yummy

09/06/2026: I placed my order at the kiosk at 12:49 PM, thinking it would be pretty quick. 25 minutes later, I finally received my salad. The portion seemed small, especially after ordering the double protein. There were only two people handling salad restocking, replenishing supplies, and taking payments. Overall, my experience was mixed. The salad didn't make up for the wait.
