The best restaurants Rhône

In a Grand-Rue de Saint-Clair, which has taken a completely different dimension since the bridge was planted between the two banks, linking House to the Cité Internationale, here is a Footbridge that welcomes the Smart. This corner institution, like the street, is known for a lot of work after it was picked up by two lovely cousins, Jeason and Mel. They have been able to create an unforgettable meeting with good humour and fun, where you can enjoy lunch as well as dinner evenings, which can be enjoyed in a festive atmosphere. The first terrace opens onto the street and the decor that leads us to the Head of Gold Park opposite. The other, darker and more intimate terrace is sheltered in an inner courtyard. Between the two terraces, a contemporary dining room, a chic bistro way where you love to find yourself among friends. On the kitchen side, there are the pizzas prepared by Mel, including a chef's pizza (gorgonzola, mozzarella, serrano ham, rocket and Parmesan chips), but still a card - except at noon where the suggestions of the day are a boon to seize - with a gravlax salmon, a limousin beef or a homemade foie gras. Follow on this map that changes very often, a small vegetable mullet, a beef tartar with knife, a tútugi tútugi or a beef fillet The Footbridge at once pan-fried and Parmesan shavings. Beautiful plates and flavours. To finish with a chocolate or lemon pie. A Gateway full of life and envy, the Smart recommends.

French people are complainers, pretentious, unfaithful, inconstant… As many clichés, sometimes motivated, which would say that Café Français does not always ensure a smiling service, does not always offer an excellent value for money and a cuisine that does not always meet our required criterion. And yet, Café Français certainly deserves more praises than critics. First, there is the campsite. Located on the quiet Place Poncet, within walking distance from Bellecour and every Lyon sites, Café Français is part of the must-gp for tourists and Lyon residents. The large terrace is a bargain, especially as it is completed by a veranda heated in winter and air conditioned in summer. The indoor rooms are beautiful and the cellar is a real paradise for wine lovers, especially from the region with beautiful bottles and grand crus, or spirits. Menu of tapas to nibble with a glass of good wine. As for the cuisine, the salads are always the stars on the summer menu, including a Salade du Sud-Ouest with homemade foie gras and marinated duck breasts. Of course, the house offers its Café Français burger and its Louchebem burger. Traditional pike quenelles, velvet crab cream, the casseroles of mussels or marinated salmon tartare. Cheeses from Mère Richard, caramel cream, coffee tiramisu, pancakes and waffles to finish in delicacies. In the end, a good address in the heart of Lyon.
