The best bistros and brasseries Rhône-Alpes

A brewery snack bar with a room as large as its slates where you have to play elbows at lunchtime, especially when every Thursday is served a couscous lovingly prepared in the kitchen by masters in the field. The establishment, highlighting gastronomy and family recipes with its generous daily special, also gives pride of place to producers, local and regional artisans, listed on a panel at the entrance. Thus, à la carte, we offer ravioli gratins, homemade hamburgers in three forms: rustic, Savoyard or vegetarian, salads with delicatessen or cheese, and, of course, a little wine from nearby cellars. It's without fuss, in an atmosphere of a Tahitian bistro. And in addition, there is a large car park nearby, Place du Taurobole, which has nothing to do with bullfighting. Opinions praise the very good value for money, so don't deprive yourself of it!

On the banks of Saône, the Bistro'Fountains invites you at a gourmet moment, with fresh cuisine from small local producers. A good wine list and a nice terrace. 

The beach restaurant is located as its name indicates in the area of the pay beach of Aix, open for all only in summer. The terrace opens directly onto the shores of the lake. The atmosphere is friendly and friendly. Side restoration is a world kitchen with tuna tataki, cod accras base, Vietnamese salad for chicken, we tasted a crisp de with crispy vegetables and a fish & chips from the lake very good. The service is pleasant. Themed evenings are organized, good humour.

Adjacent to the firm Hotel, this classic brasserie celebrates a simple and efficient cuisine that has made the reputation of this type of restaurant. Well placed in this typical setting of a typical setting, we take the time to enjoy life while still connected with wifi. Clients of the hotel but also external people— You can enjoy traditional and local culinary know-how with beautiful, well-equipped meat pieces or, more marine, mussels or frog legs. The dish of the day, like the place net, is always accompanied by vegetables or starch. Menus change every day and original entries invite you to the card like snails salad. Small price fun, which would be wrong if you were going through the Ondaine valley to discover Le Corbusier's architectural heritage, for example.

Bistro Regent combines a kitchen made with fresh products and the professionalism of the reception. On the terrace or under the veranda, you can enjoy a bistro style kitchen at attractive prices every day: duck heart or duck filet filet or salmon tartare or salmon tartar served with green salad, heart of net, salmon steak with frites matches will be able to fill you during your passage to Bouthéon. The desserts are also very tempting: fraises strawberries or pineapple according to the seasons, tiramisu house, vacherin and its grout, chocolate profiterole… Simple and family dishes. The Bistro Regent also welcomes you for all your private events.

New pleasant address to discover in Saint-Chamond! Located in the Novaciéries hall, La Bracierie welcomes you to its beautiful industrial setting. On the menu: a varied menu and a traditional cuisine served continuously. You will appreciate the quality of the burger breads from David Bory, a well-known baker from the Couramiauds. The cheese comes from the farm of the Golden Horn of Saint-Paul-en-Jarez. Homemade, the dishes are served all year round, such as salads, sauerkraut or mussels and chips. The plates are copious, the prices are correct, the service is fast and smiling. The large terrace will delight guests on sunny days. Booking recommended.

A good meal around a winter with or grill plate, fries, salad for summer, the chef adapts to seasons to propose the best. But also a wide choice of salads more varied than the other and the best pieces of meat. All this in a simple atmosphere for a good moment of conviviality. Enjoy the sun terrace as well as the sun terrace from. You will also be welcome for your family celebrations or banquets on reservation from people.

This is the nicest terrace in Cohennoz, you will tell the ski instructors. And we too! At the foot of the slopes, in the southwest, facing Mount Chavin, you enjoy the sun, the sight and the joys of skiing. A mazot is a small abri in savoyard where the riches of the family (grain, clothing, jewelry) are kept. It is made of blond wood with wide windows open on the mountain. We love this intimacy and its cool side, far from typical mountain decorations. Come here to enjoy a drink, relax in the sun loungers, eat a galette or a risotto with a pesto rosso. You can also take the week's delicious, a cocktail, a milk shake. The hot wine comes with a cinnamon salt. A nice place!

In the centre of Villefranche, Ayers Rock has been installed. With its beautiful terrace overlooking the square, a quiet part in the autumn to function as winter, and its two beautiful rooms with warm atmosphere by reception, it is a nice place where it makes good to take a stop to drink a drink.

Not far from the city centre and we will gladly drive to the Dahut for lunch or dinner, located close to the express road. The Dahut offers a nice, comfortable and current setting and does not think you are going to sit on dahut skins. Moreover, the boss always looks for it. We appreciate the scenery on the mountains that make us already believe on holiday with the Belle Etoile in front, immaculate in winter. We are surprised by the fields in front of the restaurant! A map of this restaurant, brasérade, raclette, grilled, but also a Portuguese cod, pizzas. The salads are made or flat. We have chosen a royal cassoulet with duck conflict and finished with a light dessert. The staff is friendly, pleasant, professional and allows for a quick lunch if needed.

At the end of the beautiful footbridge facing the law courts, benefiting from a new terrace on Quai de Saone, Buvette Saint-Antoine is not really a recent address, since it has been the "Lyon inhabitants' meeting place" since 1872! Yes, but, it's a place which we have abandoned in favour of the new banks of the Rhone which offer a more pleasant setting all the same, let's admit it. As time goes by, the banks of Saône was restored at the same time as this famous Bar which has found a new lease of life. On summer evenings, open-air café atmosphere with music and well-served seafood, but still pleasant snacks with salads which are largely worth others, ideal boards to accompany an aperitif, like this whole sausage or toasted spread available according to all the desires, without forgetting the ice-creams and the beautiful drink menu and a wide range of champagne. There are many "all inclusive" package to enjoy on the Quai de Saône within a very nice atmosphere.

Known to everyone for more than sixty years, this bar-restaurant on the banks of the Allier is located next to the Boutiron Bridge. It includes three modular rooms decorated in a chic bistro style. Richard and his team offer you generous traditional homemade dishes. Enjoy mixed salads, but also beef bourguignon, tripe, entrecote charolaise, homemade burger, among others, to finish with crème brûlée, floating island, or seasonal fruit pie. On Friday midday, place at the head of the veal with a ravigote sauce and seasonal vegetables. From Friday evening to Sunday evening, enjoy the mussels and chips or their specialities: the frying of bleak biscuits and frogs' legs to take away. They also design special menus for Valentine's Day, Pentecost, Mother's and Father's Day, and others, as well as for the Christmas and New Year's holidays. Whether with family, friends or colleagues, this is the right place to spend a pleasant evening on the terrace, overlooking the wooded park, or why not rent the rooms. The large shaded parking lot allows you to park in complete peace of mind. Smiling welcome.

This charming bar-restaurant is located on the edge of the Dead Guiers, in the heart of the Chartreuse massif. In winter in the dining room at the corner of the fire or in summer on the terrace, the hotel offers a panoramic view to enjoy while enjoying a good meal. On the menu, stunning cocktails based on Chartreuse and regional specialties and chef's stakes. The kitchen is concocted from seasonal products, mostly from local producers. The restaurant, which has a capacity of 40 people, is privatized for seminars, family opportunities or weekends with friends.

Outside, a large, quiet and sheltered terrace. Inside, a cosy bistro atmosphere where you can find the donkeys of the sign, on the paintings on the walls, as among the different trinkets and toys adorning the place. On the map, if the hotel offers a wide choice of pizzas, it is especially appreciated for its brasserie dishes: Coquilles, Risotto, Poulet chicken… and homemade desserts.

Emmanuel, a restaurant restaurant for 20 years, runs the Forez Tavern with Leslie and Romain. Traditional dishes are not missing between frogs, grated or flambées flambées in cognac. On one of the central places of Bouthéon-Bouthéon you will find what you are living in. The Tavern regularly organises theme menus (Christmas, Valentine's Day…) but also a special Belgian gastronomy! The kitchen is simple and serious, the warm welcome.

Welcome to the submarine of the lake. The walls of the brewery are decorated with mural frescoes depicting the boatmasters profession. Get inside where you will all have the space to discover the fish of the lake. But not that! On earth, a duck magret, a sugarplum crust, a captain's plate that unites the earth, the sea and the sky for those who are well hung. On the side of the fish, a filet of perch pan with butter and grilled almonds, not forgetting the wide range of seafood plates you can also get. Our choice was on a beautiful, just chevalier char that the server has raised with crispy vegetables. A homemade kitchen that will make you forget the time of a stopover that the sea is far away.

Contrast between the beauty of the places and the mediocrity of the offered catering services is impressive. And, we do not talk about the deplorable reception, impolite service... And yet, Café du Pond is still part of the Lyon's addresses where you go with much or less happiness according to your good fortune. Sign of gratitude, the sport scar that you let idling in front of the entrance, before going to park it in the underground car park of the place. See no kind of jealousy on our part, we like beautiful things. But when most of the place de Lyautey seems to be privatized only for the pleasure of some drinkers of luxury rosé, it bothers us! Eating is delicate and the "fresh" in seasonal menu are only of the name: Caprese salad, Terrace du Pond burger, cod loin. What is more annoying is the bad reception they reserve for those who are not regulars, until they realize that they are not welcome or ignoring them... In short, an address to avoid, even in dream location!

How to expect a Better situation for a lunch break, a refreshing break in the heart of the city? At the foot of the Slopes, in the "Shopping" area, the Brasserie des 3 Rivières extends its magnificent terrace in the Place des Breeding. Between two columns of Buren, we sit under the huge parasols for a pure moment of pleasure and discover that Lyon is happy to take a holiday. If the sun is not part of the game, there is refuge in a room that opens in the evening on several universes. At the bottom it is an electro-detached abbey, on the floor is salsa in the Casa Latina. Two environments that allow you to prolong dinner. But come back to our terrace to choose, thanks to an efficient service, a salad made of hot goat, Serrano ham or a generous nice salad. Other possibilities, frites moules molds for only 9 € or a beautiful tender tender and its sauce. A simple, but made kitchen. A pleasant way to enjoy Lyon and, at weekends, choose its atmosphere to continue the evening.

On the road following the lake, just a few metres from the Fitting beach, close to the harbour, this hotel offers a beautiful view of Lake Bourget, the Chambotte and the Pointe de Châtillon. A large terrace allows you to enjoy sunny days. Fish restaurant of the lake with its specialities fried with lavarello goujonnette, plate of smoked fish (trout, salmon, lavarello), filet net, but also snails and some meats. A homemade kitchen with a ceps duck bowl, a peasant salad. We tested the filet filet fillet and a burnt cream at Chartreuse.

If the Relais du Comte Vert is also a bar, we also present it in the bistro section. This is worth 100 meters behind the post for lunch! A homemade kitchen with local or fresh products, a warm welcome, a light addition, you need more! You will meet with people, pensioners, office employees next to those who pass. The menu of the day is correct and frankly a great day dish and good for 8,50 euros. Unbeatable on quality and price ratio. We tested the veal roast with its crozets in green vegetables and vegetables (not canned). Soft and goûteuse meat. Homemade desserts. In season, a cabri to the morels. Other season, head of calf sauce béarnaise. On reservation at night, frites mussels, frogs. On Friday evening, wholesale fishing, a fondue to fish and crustaceans, but also burgundian or savoyard shingles. A good address with a simple décor!

Here's "La Brasserie Epicurienne" from Montana with its large and nice south terrace. You arrive on foot or in ski in this restaurant. Whether fresh and quality products like its big brother, Epicurien to break between two runs or in the evening in a more intimate setting. Colourful and creative cuisine, with input, dried beef bread, white tomme to pectic followed by a calf blanquette and rice or a Canadian lobster risotto accompanied by death trumpet. A farandole of homemade desserts adds a beautiful wine list to this. A wink to the child menu to finally make them appreciate the real kitchen.

Known for a long time in the old Charlemagne district (becoming since then the new Confluence district), the Midi Minuit brasserie was set up in the heart of the Presqu'île (the peninsula), Rue de la République, two years ago. And that's why, one Sunday of balances opening, your favourite Petit Futé was sitting at a brasserie, one of the very few restaurants open in the sector with so wide opening hours! First good point, Midi Minuit has kept a large part of the superb decoration of the place by tastefully vegetating it. In addition, a small terrace sheltered from the passageway as a bonus. As for the service, we felt the intent to do well, some degree of efficiency and the attempts to smile behind a stained blouse, but let's say there is still room for improvement. The most amazing thing is undoubtedly the cuisine. A true short menu (problem, more salmon steak…) and dishes home cooked by a chef who holds up. Some snacks and flammekueches (that could be avoided), giant salads, but above all a lamb shoulder confit in its pearl juice, a duck breast and fig chips or a royal sea bream fillet in almond crumble. All is done at honest rates. Desserts slightly lower for the quality and slightly higher for the rates (a floating island with citruses a little bit tough at €7). In a nutshell, the address of République has pleasantly surprised us, even though some adjustments still need to be made.
