Named after the Cook Pierre de la Varenne (the creator of sauces and various sauces, this th century cook is the author of a famous book as one of the first cookbook), this Bistro is more than just a bistro. On a peaceful square in the Quartier des Antiquaires opening up to the Rhone, the Bistrot La Varenne is an invitation to enjoy a wide range of leisure times. On the terrace or in warm (but air-conditioned) rooms, this restaurant/wine bar is not lacking in elegance or conviviality around Jean-Baptiste Dumond. Every Thursday and Friday, the Bistro organizes the "Work, Metro, Bistrot" (after work 18 h/21 h) to share around a good glass of wine (more than 40 references with small producers selected with care), and a board (charcuterie or local cheeses) to enjoy among friends. In cooking, Chef Yoann Richard prepares home-made dishes from products of artisans and small producers (some products to be found in the grocery corner). With its own (rare) sauce, it gives taste and taste to a map that follows the seasons. This summer, a true beef tartar with a knife like La Varenne or a creamy burratina at the "Fabioyann". To follow, a French beef fillet at low temperature, light béarnaise or a yellow place, roasted vegetables and bergamot marmelade, piquillos sherbet. Refined cheeses and pyramid with two intense chocolates, creamy caramel caramel to finish. Opened since 2015, a real discovery of the Smart this year and an authentic coup de coeur for a whole in the spirit of Lyon, that is, good humour and excellence.

Super accueil et un repas excellent !

I spent a very happy evening in this bistro. It is located in front of the Place Gailleton, which is just across the University Bridge: it takes only 15 minutes to walk both from the Perrache Station and from the Place Bellecour. This bistro has a high-class atmosphere and actually it has clean, sophisticated interior decoration, but it is very relaxing and makes guests comfortable. I enjoyed “Demi poulpe grillé en persillade”—delicious grilled octopus with green salad, a generous serving of French fries, and delicately flavored home-made garlic cream—absolument yummy! I also had reasonably priced good white and red wine. It cost only 32 euro this evening. The staff are polite, amiable, welcoming; its food and drinks are wonderful. Thus, this bistro surely makes both travelers and local residents in Lyon happy. Highly recommended!!

On cherchait un endroit où manger en famille, et nous sommes tombés par hasard sur ce bistrot. Un bistro au top, très convivial avec un personnel accueillant et chaleureux. La nourriture, on s'est régalé avec le burger et le poulpe. Je conseille vivement à venir en famille ou entre potes pour passer la soirée !
