Le Passage

How would you like to eat your way through Lyon? In the ultimate classic French restaurant bedecked in velvet and taffeta? Tasting the fresh, clean dishes of one of France’s hottest young talents? Or getting great value for money from no less than two Michelin-starred heavyweights? All of the above? No problem in Lyon. Book a table at these six excellent places to get all of this and more.
La Brasserie des Confluences
Classic French dishes with a twist abound in this upmarket brasserie. And, despite the highest level accolades of the chefs, it's actually very reasonable.
Le Cocon
Near any large exhibition centre, there will be good places to eat. This is Lyon's contribution to the form, near Eurexpo. Michelin concurs. Fantastic terrace.
Le Canut et Les Gones
Let your hair down without letting down your culinary standards. The traditional "bouchon" as a value-for-money, fine dining experience. Warm and convivial.
Le Sud
A culinary superstar's take on the Mediterranean traditions of his native France without the prices of his 3-Michelin-star restaurant. Go al fresco in summer.
Le Jean Moulin
Grégoire's precocious talent will amaze you. France need not fear for the future of its gastronomy if this is the calibre of its youth. Superb and good value.
