Restaurants cuisine du Maghreb Route de la soie

From the rue d'Algérie, you go to a Moroccan medina for a total change of scenery. Once the wooden door has been crossed, Lyon seems to us far away. A vaulted cellar with exposed, oriental stones, tadelakt walls, exhilarating lights for intimate tables, silky cushions and colourful dishes, nothing missing from the eyes of the eyes, nor the delight of the taste buds with the best dishes of Moroccan bourgeois cuisine. After discovering all the details of this splendid "tribal" decoration, we wonder about the map showing shades and couscous, with a Royal at 26 €. Smiling service, presentation in a beautiful crockery and it is appreciated that chickpeas, grapes, onions or sauces are separate from special ramekins. Scented dishes, such as these well-successful keftas, and served generously in the best pieces with halal meat. A dépaysante address in the heart of Lyon.

In the typical cross-Rousse area, the Cagette offers a market kitchen, specialities from the Maghreb made with Fresh products. À la carte, hummus to herbs, vegetables, celery, carrots to orange… A real sun kitchen that will make you travel.

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.

Feyrouz is in essence a matriarchal expression. Lebanese-inspired and Mediterranean-influenced, the restaurant serves traditional Lebanese dishes, revisited. Elegant and refined, the restaurant, which has another restaurant in Thessaloniki, is named after the famous Lebanese diva Fairouz. Amazingly, the owner's musician grandfather, herself named Feyrouz, is said to have played with the singer in her day. The restaurant is therefore a great feminine story, and it is carried by a talented chef.
