Bistrot de Lyon 64 rue Mercière - 69002 Lyon 2ème

Opened in 1974 by chef Jean-Paul Lacombe, Le Bistrot de Lyon remains a cult address where the art of fine dining, Lyon-style, is celebrated every day: specialties prepared with lightness, flavor, and seasonal produce.

A true icon of Rue Mercière, this place retains its original spirit: a "bistro for friends," where the decor enchants the eye, the dishes delight the taste buds, and good humor reigns supreme.

Le Bistrot de Lyon proudly proclaims its identity: in the heart of the capital of the Gauls, it offers an ideal stopover for anyone wishing to taste Lyon's delicacies or wines with local appellations in an unusual setting.

Passionate about fine local produce, chef Eric Jouanin enjoys creating simple dishes, where rigor and time are the key: half of the dishes offered remain on the menu year-round and demonstrate exemplary consistency. No classic is missing: pâté croûte, chicken liver cake, pike quenelle, cervelle de canut, calf's head with Gribiche sauce, Saint Marcellin cheese...

Le Bistrot de Lyon can also host small private and professional gatherings in the comfortable and discreet lounges on the first floor (50 m² in total), settings adapted to the number of guests and the nature of the event. Pens, paper, and water bottles will be provided for meetings or work sessions.
