MELKONYAN

Armenian restaurant €€
4.8/5
43 reviews
Closed - Open to 12h00

An address that has taken some time to enter our guide, but we can no longer separate after having tasted. André Melkonyan offers us in his eponymous restaurant a cuisine with the Mediterranean flavours in a room tastefully decorated, where you can feel well at noon with work colleagues, and in the evening with your lover. Daily special carefully prepared in the well-presented dishes and the menu with oriental flavours, with a preference for Armenian cuisine that offers us excellent keuftés, slightly spicy meatballs, with a traditional bulgur. As a starter at €4.50: tabbouleh, vine leaves stuffed with rice and tarama, with an Azur plate that gathers all for €10. For the main course, we recommend a whole aubergine stuffed with meat and finally, the noodles or a famous Greek yoghurt with honey or confit violet petals... Simply adorable service for a really exotic address.

TIGER WOK

Asian cuisine restaurant €€
3.7/5
30 reviews
Closed - Open to 19h00

For how long did you not hear the tiger roar? No, not the one that is supposed to be in your engine, but the one on your plate! Smart has rediscovered Tiger Wok from Gerland. An address that has experienced long months of work for a renaissance that redefines a concept that already began to take age on an ultra-competitive market. The terrace is now isolated from the bustle of the street, the room benefits from a peaceful Asian atmosphere and natural materials… In short, everything is done to make us forget a neighbourhood where one comes mainly at noon for business and evening for football matches. What does not change too much is the map, of course keeping the principle of wok, decreasing its buffet offer in a choice of vegetables, meat and fish. The recipe does not date yesterday and it is quite healthy and good. Also, a few dishes to vary pleasures: Udon noodles, coconut saté, US burger (one needed one), salads, for termienr with creamy creamy cream waffles. Not what to jump to the ceiling, but an exotic set that keeps the road.

LA PIAZZA PAPA

Italian restaurant and pizzeria

32 reviews
Closed - Open to 12h00

After the Mercière rue brasseries, why not try to change an Italian brasserie? Piazza Papa, with its terrace well located at the corner of the two bandwidth bandwidth and Palais-Grillet, offers an interesting alternative and not too expensive to many nearby establishments… If it is not the haute gastronomy Italian, it does not have the claim, it has the great virtue to be home, to be tasty and, once again, d a good price ratio with 20% discount between 19 h and 19 h 30! Effective service, especially due to the influx, for this enseigne who spread across France to propose carpaccio plates with choice sauce accompanied by fresh pasta (10,50 €), salads and then pizzas, some original, tasteful and some flavors of Italy, including a gorgonzola tender nut. The wines come from Languedoc-Roussillon and are, in the image of the teacher, warm.

LE POMPEI

Italian restaurant and pizzeria €€
4.7/5
40 reviews
Closed - Open to 12h00

To discover the good addresses, do not hesitate to expand your horizons. When you discover Pompéi in this part of the Lafayette courts near Villeurbanne, it is a real eruption of flavours that is on your plate. Le Pompéi, it is a real Italian restaurant run by authentic Italian who can share their love of the typical dishes of a country full of sun. In this Ristorante Italiano, beautiful decor and a wall decorated with a fresco that reminds us of the origin of the sign, you can enjoy the warm welcome of Antonio, all the freshness and the generosity of the preparation of Franco. You can start with the famous Antipasto iltaliano Pompéi, a nice variation around the Italian charcuterie and marinated vegetables served with white pizza, a delicious Crocantini di capra, crispy goat and its fig jam, or a nice breaded mozzarella. As for the pizzas, you can see the "Classiques", with the delicious and perfectly composed pasta, the "Gourmandes", including the Roberto with mushrooms and raw ham. But the menu is much wider, with a large selection of pasta, gratins, like these lasagnes alla campana, fish, including a bouillabaisse in Italian way, or good meats, including this Franco topped with raw ham and Parmesan. Homemade desserts and wine list from here that does not forget the good chianti. You must be guided to Pompei to be surprised by the magic of Italy, the real one.

TANDOOR AND WOK

Indian restaurant
4.8/5
38 reviews
Closed - Open to 11h30

Can you Dépayser in a "New" neighborhood like the ZAC of the Good Milk? Yes, and Smart proves it by inviting you to make a culinary trip through Asia on a quiet street at the foot of a recent building. Tandoor & Wok, the first Asian restaurant 100% halal on Lyon, offers a nice showcase, promise of a bright room where one feels good at lunch time among colleagues working, friends or family. We stop at the counter where the smile is always for an excellent welcome. At Tandoor & Wok, the kitchens are open and you don't hide anything. Between Asian wok and Indian tandoori, cooking comes under your eyes in the hands of a Vietnamese stove and Indian cooks. You can order by phone and get delivered, but also take on the spot to take advantage of the big desk. At a table, you choose between India and China, unless you mix them both on the room or on the Sans Frontières menu. Smart regularly cracks on the Aloy menu - delicious spring rolls, served beef with Thai rice, Banana Doughnut - or Ejad - tasty pakora, chicken curry or kima Madras, plaow to finish, while adding an excellent cheese nan baked in the tandoor oven - less than 16 €. No alcohol, of course, but you have to taste a lassi to get fun. An address whose reputation goes well beyond the neighbourhood.

FRITE ALORS

Canadian restaurant €€
4.5/5
37 reviews
Closed - Open to 11h30

{1}Futé{/1} will avoid you all the Quebec swearwords and other beauties of our American cousins' language to tell you what we think about Frite Alors. The concept, a first on the Old Continent, is that of a made in Québec Belgian chips shop. And if the French fries are the stars, it is the Quebec speciality which does its show according to us: the poutine. Ah! the poutine, which is the dish that you would like to eat after a beautiful logging session in the heart of a cold forest, but a little less after a shopping session in town... It is the only dish that can provide your calorie requirements for a week at once! A dish that comes in several varieties, but never in light version... Even the Vladimir one, "regular" sauce, exceeds our fat absorption capacity. Then, we've not yet told you about the "grosse Cochonne" (fat pig)... In short, the decor may look too much like a canteen enlivened by some illustrated frames, the service is young and friendly, the portions are generous and we're looking for the number of our cardiologist to tell him that we had a crush on the Viennese poutine. As for burgers, they are as fresh as generous and even tasty. Finally, it is not the chips that have caught our attention, but a (fat) poutine which hasn't still existed in Lyon. An ideal address to avoid the recommendations of the national nutrition health programme, but original and friendly. Note that there's another address in the 3rd arrondissement. So how about French fries? The choice is up to you.

ALYSSAAR SYRIEN

Syrian restaurant €€

8 reviews
Closed - Open to 19h30

From Alep to Damas, the succeful trip to Syria is probably done in one of the only Lyon restaurants that offers many specialities of a very interesting country... But that's another story. With only forty seats, this little place is hosted by the owner who is also an artist and, after a hand-kissing to women at the entrance, is particularly available to explain all the dishes on the à la carte menu, how to eat them and in what order. With his expert advice, we can start with a famous tabbouleh with fresh mint or yabrak, stuffed vine leaves, unless you prefer the dish of the kalife to taste everything! Then, we will discover dajaj, chicken sautéed with sesame cream, beef with cherry or chicken skewers with lemon, without forgetting the nanaa kebab, beef with mint garnished with aubergine. And for dessert, we can finish with mamounieh, the dessert of the Arabian Nights. So we can leave happily after making a gastronomic discovery, at a very reasonable price.

MAMMA OSTERIA

Italian restaurant and pizzeria €€
4.2/5
32 reviews
Closed - Open to 12h00

Ti amo, io sono, ti amo. Futé is always in love with Mamma and even more when it hears Umberto Tozzi's hit in this room of another age where you feel so good. Mamma is the Italian restaurant, an osteria, that we dream of. The terrace belongs to our favourites in this Rue Pleney which is transformed into a pedestrian street in summer. The small scorching heat of this summer allowed us to appreciate an aperitivo in a very warm evening. Aperol Spritz, Italian cold meats and cheeses at each round! When you will read these lines, it will be time to find refuge in a vintage room where Formica tables, a splendid checkered floor and objects which captivate our attention, like this screen that plays white and black films with the beautiful Marcello or these 100% Italian toilets reign. Well, this is before you are served the 100%-homemade dishes. The products are remarkably fresh, the speck is delicious and whether you choose to treat yourself with a bruschetta mozzarella rocket and pesto, homemade antipasti, first-class pizzas or an Italian seasonal dish, to end with a limoncello pannacotta, happiness remains the same. The wine list, which is often organic, is in harmony with the dishes. We should note that the service is particularly pleasant. An address that is permanently among our favourites.

4.8/5
26 reviews
Closed - Open to 12h00

" Home made ", this is how Casareccio can be translated from this 6 th Arrondissement Italian restaurant. It should be said that we could also add "trattoria" before this sign, so everything is "made in Italy" in this facility which offers fresh products, cheeses, cold meats… Italian. Terrace with olive trees, sober interior on two levels, blend of old and modern, wooden oven to cook pizzas and grill meats, nothing missing to transport us on the other side of the Alps. A nice choice of pizzas to enjoy on site or to take away, but above all a beautiful menu of Italian gastronomy from pasta to envy: Maruzzella maruzzella, fettuccine al pesto, ravioli ai funghi di bosco, al lasagna… to homemade desserts, to a agnello di forno, the traditional scaloppa Milanese or parmigiana, without missing the osso-buco and the saltimbocca alla romana. An authentic Italian house, where even chocolate served with the coffee is Italian! for our greatest pleasure. Italian service, smiling and efficient.

CITY BAGEL’S

American restaurant
5/5
1 review

The bagel, this ring-shaped roll made of a unleavened dough plunged into boiling water before going to the oven, is a bit of the American Jewish pizza that now offers many variants. This address of the heart of the peninsula presents us with a small range of bagels in orange new York decor of best taste. From Time Square to Central Park, Chinatown, you can indulge in its cute sins with cream-cheese, magic chicken and other crispy onion. Salads are honest accompanied by a fresh drink and at the time of desserts, the chocolate sugar au. We're a long way from the capital of gastronomy, but from time to time, it's also good to meet other cultures.

Closed - Open to 12h00

Clearly distinct from its Asian counterparts, the Vietnamese cuisine is unanimously appreciated for its freshness (using many exotic fruits to bring out the taste), its lightness (free from fat), its variety and its finesse, are found in this restaurant in cours Vitton, where guests crowd around... 1968. Taken over in hand by the daughter of the founder, Le Vietnam has set a goal to quietly revolutionize the property, to instill in the decor a lounge and contemporary spirit, the decor has also renovated in a spirit more contemporary, brighter, with brightened tones. But we should not ignore as far as its reputation is concerned: nice list of exotic cocktails, including the ginger, my xao (crunchy pasta as a nest of birds) and prawns in the tonkinoise way, fried beef with tamarin, octopus hot sauce and pearls of tapioca in a coconut milk, we will be served with smiling amenity characterizing the beautiful Asia.

This is the terrace where you have to come and drink its Aperol Sipped with an orange slice in it. Finally, if there is still room on the terrace, for in a short time the restaurant of Cyrille Monnet - cross to the Three Maries, the case friendly - has been successful. It is therefore prudent to book at lunchtime to have the right to enjoy an excellent dish of the day at 12 € and the colours of Italy, the north preferably, realized with fresh fresh produce and revisited according to the chef's Lyon inspiration. A daily gastronomic delight and other suggestions for pleasure with a genovese basilico gran, pig feet, beans and ceps, or a ris risotto risotto, Scottish Coquilles and wild asparagus. It is impossible to predict what you will find on the slate on the day of your visit, because you will not miss coming, but it is certain that happiness will be on your plate! A friendly atmosphere, it laugh in a frame where every detail (and music) has its importance, a little in the way of a stopper that would have crossed the Alps. A great success and a real discovery recommended by the Smart.

In your opinion, who can an Italian say "I love you"? His girlfriend, mother or acciughe (grandmother)? All three, bravo! With a preference for grandmother Maria who has passed on the best taste of her country to Luigi, the chef who makes us share his delicious recipes. And if Jérémy's grandmother was not Italian, it must be recognized that the other membre's pizza is delicious. An atypical setting - look at the ceiling - a small room that delivers souvenirs from Italy to enjoy a map that divides between traditional cuisine and pizza. On both sides, even concern for quality and origin of products. Small prices and fine achievements in plates with dishes of the day to the names that make them dream, like these ricotta chicken polpettone and wrapped poulet in a speck of speck… Not forgetting the gnocchis according to the seasons, such as this surprising and delicious summer pears, the famous Bobo pizza or Torta della mama to finish. In this area where eating can be complicated, an address should not be missed.

4.4/5
10 reviews

This district of Gerland, where the buildings grow like mushrooms, will not surprise us with the opening of Intermission in an unexpected register. In the middle of the traditional addresses, this restaurant opens to other horizons in the direction of Africa (so little represented in Lyon) with a surprising fusion kitchen rather successful. Is this a defect or a quality, authenticity requires, the decoration of the room is not the main quality of the address. More attention must be paid to the kitchen carried out by a chef, Amoin, Franco-Ivorian, inspired by his two cultures to prepare for mixed flavors: ceviche from green lemon and olive oil or bar acras, beef pastel and green salad to start. Treat yourself to the chicken, sausage and basil ou or a sanitary beef sanitary with ginger and turmeric, to finish with a fresh fruit salad. It changes our habits, but let us admit that it did not get us off. A pleasant intermission that has its place in this lively neighbourhood where everyone seeks a new destination at the time of a good value for money.

Let us admit that is quite happy to see of Asian restaurants, japanese-style in fact, of good quality. Here, no large volumes, but a cuisine with the image of the place, intimate, respectful of the products. Sit on the terrace or in the room with warm tones, under wood panelling in the mezzanine, and you will discover a menu made from ultra-fresh ingredients, especially the fish cut, according to the rules of art, on site. Miso soup or soup of noodles, the woodong maki, sashimi, the sushi house or the yaktori, skewers served per pair, a wonderful flavour. The special plateaux and the menus allow you to combine the pleasures to satisfy all appetites. An "homemade" address definitively to reconcile us with Asian restaurants.

Closed - Open to 11h30

If you have not yet succumbed to Bagel's fashion - which would be unfortunate in our opinion - Best Bagels offers twice as many good reasons to crack. At Best Bagels, it's beautiful like pop art, colorful and stuffy, and it's good as to the States (incidentally, it's better to speak language). Inspired by the American delis, Best Bagels is a unique place in Lyon, where you can both buy products from the United States in the grocery store, but also live on site while having the possibility to read foreign magazines. Bagels Instructions: a small round bread with a hole in the center, cut in two and garned according to the desires. Between the classic lox (smoked salmon, Philadelphia cream cheese and pumplette) to the incredible home recipes (based on pastrami, magic chicken, goat's crotches…), bagels manage to remain delicate, light, yet consistent sandwiches. If you want to test American way of life, you can try sauces, cereals and other cakes, with original and intriguing packaging. The products can be found in the 4 Best Bagels on Lyon, located near Mercière, Ampère, Croix Rousse, Gambetta. A full-style address with wide opening hours. See, ya! See ya!

SUSHIDO

Japanese restaurant €€
4.5/5

Closed - Open to 11h30

Undoubtedly one of the most exotic places in the 6th arrondissement for those who do not know yet the famous kaïten sushi, these restaurants where you catch the blue dishes that appear on a treadmill and which stacks in front of us. So, you can settle on a large and long table and begin to observe the sushi bar, unless you choose the bento, the dishes made in advance, which prices have stabilised to be still affordable for the workers in the neighbourhood. Less fun, but safer for the final bill... Indeed, on the carpet, you should count because the dishes are priced according to the colour of the border. Perhaps it's better to take the formula for not having a bad surprise. Another disadvantage, you'd better arrive earlier to have as many choices as possible and enjoy the freshness! As for the dishes, the sushi are appropriate, just like the maki and sashimi. Take away if you do not want to watch the dishes turning. An address which makes you live a change of scenery.

Rue Passet is in the heart of a small Lyon Chinese neighbourhood that you should absolutely know to treat yourself with an authentic Asian cuisine. Phnom Pich is a restaurant offering a Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese traditional cuisine. Suffice to say that you will surely have some fears when pushing the door of a well-kept restaurant whose decoration is not the main concern. Here, what matters is the cuisine and kindness (Phnom Pich is run by a sweet Cambodian) of a welcome that makes us, unfortunately too often, understand that the dining room is full! Unless it is not too late, because the address closes at 8pm! Never mind, you will take a very delicious cuisine as a take-away. When you are happy to have a seat, because you will have booked at lunchtime with your welcomed children, you will take the time to enjoy the cuisine of madam who cooks fresh dishes, no reheated preparations, full of flavours: homemade spring rolls, Thai beef salad, sautéed noodles in Cantonese style, homemade soups, Vietnamese bo bun... You treat yourself from the beginning to the end of a meal you have in a friendly atmosphere.

In the small Chinatown of Lyon, not far from the quays of the Rhône in the 7 th arrondissement, it is very difficult to sort the restaurants. This is an address that will make everyone agree, connoisseurs like those who want to discover Asian cuisine: Star of Asia. Here, no buffet with will to the dubious ingredients, but a real homemade kitchen, traditional and typical, proposed by a charming couple of Vietnamese. She in the kitchen, in the dining room, favours quality, both in the composition of dishes and in the service. In a décor that takes us to Asia or on the summer terrace, you can enjoy dishes prepared for wok with fresh products and many ingredients imported directly from Vietnam, such as lotus. The Sino-Vietnamese card offers a wide choice to open our culinary horizons with specialties of soups, tonkinoise or saïgonaise, Chinese nouilles noodles, delicious spring rolls, such as these cold rolls to beef and peanuts, a salad of lotus-pork shoots, pork and shrimp, and grilled pork, which are often the weak point of Asian restaurants. Here you can eat a wonderful flan with sugar cane and coconut milk or nems with fruit sauce. The Smart address that shines on the neighborhood and beyond.

2 reviews

Along the long street of the long street Garibaldi, a stone's throw from the Cours Gambetta, the swimming pool and the metro station (it is important to find and access it without too much search), it was born the Picasso. The place is truly unusual, since it is an old factory of studios. The height of the ceiling is not trivial and the decor has made colors thanks to a huge graph to the entry way… Picasso. The head is Italian. Originally from the south of the peninsula, Puglia, it prepares authentic Mediterranean cuisine in this unexpected setting. And there, bingo, it is the master's throw for this finally simple, but little sight and tasted in Lyon, which makes the happiness of a whole neighbourhood -and more- at lunchtime. Buffet of starters and desserts, including a choice of verrines, on the formula to make fun with good products from Italy and elsewhere and from the dishes of the day to 9,90 €, especially lacking in flavours: nachos and pancetta chicken steak, raw ham risotto, pear and gorgonzola or a veal paupiette sauce mushroom truffle sauce. Little precision, Picasso is the name of the boss: Giovanni Picasso. A very concrete cuisine, far from abstract art, but generous and tasty. This is good news and an address noted by the Smart.

Do you know the pizzaïolos that fly the dough? Well, let's discover the cooks who feed the pasta! Yes, fresh pasta that is stretched like ropin, pasta dance to get a unique texture, melt under the tongue and crispy under the tooth! In a decor that has the good taste to be sober, we discover a surprising spectacle. When the noodles finally arrive in our bowl, they can be tasted in several ways. In soup, beef noodles eat, in sauce or skipped accompanied by vegetables. A few specialties such as these nord façon or a beef touch the perfectly sky! Japanese cakes and fresh pineapple to land smoothly. A small map of wine and beer. Groups welcome. A Chinese address that opens up gourmands horizons.

At Paolino, a well-known area of the area where it is imperative to book at noon, every day we place a point of honour to serve you with a generous sun full of sunshine. Two beautiful air-conditioned rooms, one on the mezzanine, inviting us to Italy, and an efficient service that makes us feel "as at home" in a friendly atmosphere. At every meal, the pleasure is the same and if one comes back every lunchtime to taste the many specialities of the house, including the famous pizza pizzas and crispy, fragrant and full of plates like this Gilberto, this Paolino or this Zucchine with its pickled zucchini. It is with envy that we wait on Thursday and Friday evening to explore the map. Maxi-salads, including a wonderful antipasti at 9,50 €, pasta, of course, fish and meat with an Italian-style veal steak. As the culmination of a delicious meal, the desserts are home-made (4 hours daily) and it would be a serious mistake not to succumb to tiramisu decline according to the seasons. Paolino welcomes groups, even schools, to organise event meals. Address should not be missed.

VIA VENETO

Italian restaurant and pizzeria €€
4.2/5
26 reviews
Closed - Open to 11h30

A small corner of Italy full of delicious discoveries: antipasti, fresh pasta, home-made ravioli stuffed with meat, mushrooms, vegetables or cheese… at noon, we turn for lunch in front of the chilled window, between Secco pasta shelves, regional wine bottles and large black and white photos of Italian actors. A genuine atmosphere of trattoria. The rest of the time, the grocery store delivers its treasures: in addition to fresh pasta, charcuterie, cheese, plethora of marinated antipasti (dried tomatoes, artichokes of artichokes, anchovies, mushrooms…), local pastries encartonnées, several homemade sauces and a minute grated Parmesan for maximum aromas on the plate. In short, a nice neighbourhood address, which deserves to be stopped.

O’SUSHI

Japanese restaurant
4.6/5
51 reviews
Closed - Open to 12h00

O'Sushi is what we love, starting with a charming welcome that leaves us unaware of these Japanese specialities, art and how to taste them. From the counter to the présentoirs of charges, through a beautiful Zen room, this place is devoid of tension. Everything is peaceful, harmonious and it is easy to forget its urban stress on the threshold of O'Sushi. To eat on-site, on high chairs, to take or to get delivered, sushi, makis and sashimis are of impeccable freshness, made in the morning, while the miso soup still heats up in the pot… Impeccable hygiene for tasty products that are accommodated with the sauces according to the advice of a wise man. Ready-made trays and individual portions are a great way to receive friends during a secluded meal. To discover, sweet sushi and various forms of tea, including a delicious roasted green tea. Don't miss, the shop corner where Japanese products are found to make its own sushi.

MONTANA

Maghreb cuisine restaurant €€
4.2/5
26 reviews
Closed - Open to 10h00

If Montana evokes for you the large spaces, you already have an idea of what this hotel can offer you. But beware, nothing to do with the United States, this Montana opens for us the doors to the oriental and North African cuisine! The large spaces, you can especially find them to the terrace on the esplanade of the Croix-Rousse, offering one of the most beautiful views of Lyon peninsula and the Fourvière hill. So, you lift up your eyes between two typical dishes. You can start with a Berber salad or grilled peppers, but the real choice begins with the variations of traditional dishes: fifteen couscous with their generous garnishes, the tajines, including a successful homemade lamb, and especially the famous pastilla, baked pancakes with cinnamon and almonds. Do not miss the special of the chef, with the particularly tasty pigeon. Oriental pastries and mint tea to conclude the meal even better when it is taken on a beautiful esplanade.

MEIJI ERA

Japanese restaurant €€
4.5/5
26 reviews
Closed - Open to 11h30

By taking on board what the French consumer expects from the decor of an Asian brand, Meiji Era comes first to us. In the very central Thomassin street, this Japanese restaurant offers the kitchen in a decor that could be that of a chic European brewery with this presence underlined of the black, these chesterfield benches, all without a special sign related to Asia. In short, it is apparently very marketé to give a modern picture of Japan. More traditional, Japanese cuisine offers us its essential sushi, which is pretty successful for our taste, rolls or tatakis. Des menus, already seen, to the Chirashi menus, less seen, Japan does not offer here its best culinary face and, past the course of discovery and decorative suprise, not sure that Meiji Era will seduce us. When Japan falls through a "conceptual" restoration, as often happens in Lyon, the result is not really Smart.
