Good homemade food. Great atmosphere. Traditional french meal - not a tourist trap. Not a bouchon.

A Lyon perineal and great spot for watching life on Place Bellecour go by. More popular with locals and local business owners than tourists. Fantastic daily menu in the French tradition. Quality café-bistrot food. Staff can be busy at times but they’re always efficient, polite and also very good and friendly when time allows - it is a popular spot esp. at lunch. Good value, great local produce and wines - not showy just good quality and proper French fayre.

The environment, the service, and the coffee were all perfect for me. This is the cafe where I most felt like a local. The service was friendly, and the people watching the absolute best.

Lovely patina. Lively place that has not been renovated in a 150 years, and it shouldn't. Sitting there made us feel that it has been there forever, will still be like it ist is now when we are all gone. A place where you strat wondering who has been sitting on these chairs and how many decades it may took and whoms coats it were that wore off the paint of the coat hanger. If I lived there this would be the place I'd go every day for a coffee and the newspapaer.

Wonderful lunch with a sophisticated crowd. Had plat de jour roast veal with mashed potatoes, and chicken salad. Perfect portion size and cost, 12 euro and 13 euro.
