Taste authentic local cuisine in Lyon

The characteristic restaurants in Lyon not only represent abundant food portions, home-cooked dishes, and local products, but also embody a lifestyle art that is matched with French traditional cuisine: elegant checkered tablecloths, wooden dining tables, copper pots, and ancient posters, all of which give the restaurant an authentic and friendly atmosphere, making the food more flavorful.

Café Comptoir Abel

This is one of the oldest small restaurants in Lyon, featuring quaint decor: splendid wooden paneling, French-style ceilings... Pike quenelles, morel chicken, and crayfish salad are all inherited from the craftsmanship of predecessors.

Daniel et Denise

This restaurant offers dishes mainly based on Lyon products and local specialties. Must-try dishes include foie gras and veal sweetbread dumplings, as well as pike quenelles with Nantua sauce!

La Mère Brazier

If you enjoy an elegant atmosphere, you can choose La Mère Brazier. This Michelin-starred restaurant was originally opened by the first woman to receive three Michelin stars—a lady from Lyon. The head chef of the restaurant was named the best craftsman in France in 2004, and he ensures that you can still taste the dishes of this outstanding cook, with an added modern twist.
