The best restaurants Rhône-Alpes

One of the reference addresses of the city, not only in the "brasserie" category but also simply restaurant, since Silk is much more than a brewery in our opinion. Built in the luxurious Sofitel hotel, Silk benefits from the tranquillity of the places, yet only steps from Place Bellecour and the hyper-centre of the peninsula. A both classic and completely atypical place with its decor that immerses us in the universe "vintage" of the 70s to the brilliant colours on a neutral background and in the universe of silk (which gives the name to the establishment). Between chic bistro, elegant brasserie and elegant restaurant, Silk is for everyone and not only the 5-star hotel high profile clientele. Best-in-class, refined and convivial service, beautiful home which is really hospitable, and a high quality cuisine which also fluctuates between the brasserie tradition with oysters, a Lyon salad, a famous 100% beef tartare, homemade burgers, one of which is truffle or a fresh salmon tartar, and the nice food service with roasted cod fillet, delicious roasted scallops or a rack of lamb and its pan-fried seasonal vegetables. Mother Richard cheese and a vanilla brioche with speculoos ice-cream. Other must-eat of the house: the omelet as you want it and the terrible chicken Sandwich Club. Beautiful wine list, grand crus, for a harmonious wine and meal pairing.

Le and Les, it is a condensed of the spirit of the Croix-rousse. An anti-authoritarian spirit that defies time. In fact, the walls adorned with vintage wallpaper, as we say today to say another age, have a collection of clocks. First of all, there is the pleasure of finding yourself, accoudé around a glass of good wine - excellent selection, but attention this restaurant is not a bar - before even starting the meal. Good ambiance guaranteed and you start to discover a map that changes every week. This evening: net to make Lake Léman smoked to the seeds of coriander, salicorne, anchoïade to in, avocado cream, radish of colours, grapefruit or ris of calf, juice to morels dried and long pepper, cassé of broken peas, green asparagus, small peas, meringue coffee noisette. To follow, Can can be: roasted fillet, juice to black cherry jam, lacquered and caramélisée thigh, effilochée wing in cromesquis green olives with bear garlic, red chioggias beets, turnip fane or a fleeced of Iberian swine Bellota, juice to Iberian sausage, terres new Delicacy, season vegetables. Léonce-Savarin to black truffles and foam desserts of verbena verbena, Mona biscuits, and compotée of raspberry, light mousse to raspberry, meringue to finish. Go, take a look at his laptop, open his eyes and his spirit and get eaten… We are well in the Croix-Rousse!

Every day of the week, the temperature rises at Confluence. A temperature that is measured by a very Lyon unit: the degree Selcius (see our Start of Month section). And when Sunday comes, the temperature doesn't go down, with a great brunch that combines quality dishes and quantity of dishes. In a fantastic setting where you can feel both in love and as a family, in spaces with contemporary forms, warm and adapted on every occasion, each reserve has its weekend brunch at the Selcius. For 37 €, you will not only spoil yourself with the will (non-alcoholic drinks) of products of various and varied quality - with the breakfast buffet, its pastries, eggs or bacon…, the various BBQ grills, the seasonal vegetables, the fatty liver, smoked salmon, oysters and bulots in winter, pizzas, salads, cheeses or cold meats, not forgetting the crêpes stand, barbapapa and pop corn! You love it, but you want to stay so comfortably installed beyond the advertised schedule. Other fun, the animation for children cared for by a specialist team so that the parents can enjoy in depth… She's not the beautiful life?

"The earth is blue like an orange/Never a mistake the words does not lie." (Paul Eluard, L'Amour la poésie) At Le Poivron Bleu, it is the cuisine that does not lie. As for the name, it also refers to art, since it is inspired by the title of the second album, Les Poivrons bleus, of a lead composer. A native of Marseille,the chef is an authentic cuisine passionate. Being at Thomas and the equally famour Tartuffo, trained for the organic pastry by the awesome Frédéric Dujarrier, Julien Panzani welcomes us in the refined setting of Poivron Bleu to present us a sincere, authentic cuisine, an instinctive and loyal cuisine. A 100% homemade cuisine really prepared with fresh quality products from local producers and craftsmen clearly stated. The eggs are organic, the meats come from France, the fruit juices from Thurins, the cheeses from Jean-Charles Roux and the wines from small producers working in organic and sustainable agriculture are chosen with Stéphane Péroz, Cave des Charpennes. In short, excellent ingredients to implement all the fantasies of a chef who likes to change the recipes to present us a revisited grand-mother's cuisine, offering a simple, seasonal menu, totally delicious, like a duckling fillet of Dombes, red wine and cherry sauce, crusty polenta and arugula, farm pork shoulder from Ain with verbena lemon and or pan-fried whiting fillet and its smashed potato. The ice-creams are homemade. Adorable reception and service. A new Futé address which already keeps all its promises.
