28/03/2026: Beware, they are not trustworthy! We pre-booked a private room in September for May, with written confirmation from them. The manager laughed, telling us we were booking way too far in advance. We contacted them again two months before to finalize things... and found out our reservation had been cancelled and given to someone else, without even notifying us!

28/03/2026: At La Mère Brazier, you step into history and leave with the feeling that it continues to unfold gently. Founded in 1921 by Eugénie Brazier, the first female chef to earn six Michelin stars, the restaurant established itself as one of the pillars of French gastronomy, where Paul Bocuse, among others, trained. Today, MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) Mathieu Viannay offers a faithful yet vibrant interpretation. Tradition in motion, just like in Collonges. The welcoming pâté en croûte: precise, clean, and classic. The salmon trout amuse-bouche with kiwi and watercress coulis introduces a more contemporary touch. Next come spider crab and brown crab, enhanced with caviar for a return to classicism. A gourmet dish more complex than it appears, a true delight for the palate. Then the barbecued langoustine with braised leeks, kumquat, and langoustine head consommé introduces a more contemporary dynamic, with its perfect cooking, deep consommé, and hints of other flavors. The scallops with apple and golden turnip in green curry maintain this masterful precision, enhanced by a green peppercorn condiment that could have been a touch more incisive. The sweetbreads with miso, accompanied by a sake jus, embrace the Japanese influence more fully, a journey into the world of umami. Dominique Courbis's 2022 Saint-Joseph is very expressive, its beauty enhanced by decanting. For dessert, the promise of lightness and freshness is fulfilled. A perfectly executed passion fruit and rum soufflé and a reimagined lemon meringue tart. For each seemingly classic dessert, there are complementary dishes that confirm that tradition is accompanied by modernity. Kiwi and aloe vera for the soufflé, candied Kalamata olives and blood orange for the lemon tart. The service was slow to get going and generally felt too stiff. At this level of cuisine, one would expect more fluidity and a touch more passion. The lunch menu, offering remarkable value for money at this price point, is highly recommended. Solid cuisine that fully deserves its two stars.

28/03/2026: A Lyon gastronomic institution, far removed from the somewhat outdated clichés one might imagine! A special shout-out to the sommeliers who always find the perfect pairing!

07/03/2026: This is a wonderful discovery that transports you to the Basque Country through the flavors of its dishes. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The tapas and desserts are generous and delicious. They leave you wanting more! We will gladly return and recommend it. 🙂

05/03/2026: The food was good but very simple; however, the cocktails were great.

21/01/2026: An authentic Lebanese experience. Everything homemade and just like back home.

03/01/2026: Excellent food and plenty of it. Family-run, friendly service.

07/03/2026: I discovered Lebanese cuisine at Le Régal Café on Place du Forez in Lyon. The food is very high quality. It was delicious, and the welcome was very warm on the terrace overlooking a charming square. I highly recommend it!

28/02/2026: Incredible platter of specialties. Many thanks to the server and congratulations to the cook.

06/12/2025: I've been waiting for my food for an hour. And it's clearly not going to arrive anytime soon.

05/12/2025: A €14 salad consisting mainly of lettuce leaves! The Caesar salad had mayonnaise dressing and a few breaded pieces of chicken. No croutons. The Parmesan had no flavor. Avoid it.

06/03/2026: Phenomenal experience! The staff were attentive, Food incredible and wine pairings delicious.

06/03/2026: A Michelin star, a magnificent dining room, beautiful glassware, and silver cutlery. Dinner promised to be a wonderful Valentine's Day! However, it was marred by several missteps. The cuisine was certainly creative, but stingy, using simple, inexpensive ingredients for four out of the six courses, and the desserts were disappointing. The cheese platter was excellent, though, and we didn't refuse it given the meager portions. From the very first bite, we encountered an ingredient we had specifically requested be avoided (in which case, why ask us a few days prior?), the wines were poor value for money, and the desserts were bland and uninspiring. Two members of staff were arrogant. Also worth noting: the only restroom in the establishment offered only cold water for handwashing. Only the chef seemed honest, although he was surprised that we weren't particularly impressed by some of the dishes. We expect better from this "starred" establishment, which would do well to improve. There are few reviews on Google, but I'm making the effort to prevent some people from having this very disappointing experience in the capital of French gastronomy!

04/04/2026: Authentic atmosphere, impeccable service, and high-quality cuisine featuring authentic Lyonnais dishes. Highly recommended to all Swiss visitors to Lyon.

27/03/2026: A charming, old-fashioned family restaurant with a lovely retro/folksy decor. Good, authentic, and hearty food. You'll leave happy and satisfied, all for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended. They don't rip you off here.

15/02/2026: Delicious cuisine made with fresh, seasonal produce. From the appetizer to the dessert, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

28/11/2025: My favorite restaurant in Lyon for years: sophisticated cuisine, always with just the right amount of boldness. They often have game, but also more classic dishes, and they're very welcoming to vegetarians if you let them know in advance. The service is impeccable, attentive, and discreet, and the setting is lovely: hardwood floors, a French-style ceiling, and plenty of space. A hearing-impaired member of our group actually had a great evening at a restaurant there for once!
