Probably the best value for money meal of our entire trip to France! Le Lafayette is a cozy restaurant with fantastic rustic food. We stopped in just as they were closing for 5 days but they conjured two different dishes for us. Meats were all flavorful and perfectly cooked but what was a pleasant surprise was the watercress salad with pickled onions. I could not stop eating it and then stole some of my partner's.

The most authentic French diner in the heart of Lyon.

(Translated by Google) It's a great restaurant that doesn't look like much, but the owner is super nice, very funny and the dish of the day (tab and potatoes) was excellent. All with a very good green salad for only 12 euros each. We highly recommend! (Original) C'est un super restaurant qui ne paie pas de mine mais le patron est super sympa, très amusant et le plat du jour (onglet et pommes de terre) était excellent. Le tout avec une très bonne salade verte pour seulement 12 euros chacun. On recommande vivement!

Quelle belle découverte! De passage sur Lyon nous avons non seulement très bien mangé mais aussi été extrêmement bien servis par un personnel très à l'écoute. Une ambiance très chaleureuse, merci au patron Yves qui traite ses clients de passage avec la même touche que des habitués...

Excellent!

What a surprise... extremely pleasant, a restaurant, a real one: welcome, chosen menu, quality products, perfect cooking... in fact I can't wait to come back and try the WHOLE menu. Thank you for this extraordinary time spent in your establishment

Great hidden gem in the heart of Lyon. Strongly recommend to have a local experience

Great service, delicious food!

Been to Lyon twice. First time going to this restaurant. Food is very delicious and in a very good portion! The price is very decent, the service is great also! Recommend! Would come again in the future.

(Translated by Google) We feasted. Hearty plates and nice atmosphere and Yves the boss and the team are "creams", so much so that it surprised the Parisian in me;) !!! (Original) On s’est régalé. Assiettes copieuses et ambiance sympa et Yves le patron et l’équipe sont des « crèmes », à tel point que ça a un peu surpris le parisien en moi ;) !!!

(Translated by Google) Very happy with this restaurant! A homemade beef tartare as well as homemade fries for a very reasonable price! My boyfriend took the restaurant specialty (flank steak with shallots) and it was delicious 😋!! A very welcoming staff, good living and kind as anything 😌 Friendly and pleasant setting I recommend with eyes closed! (Original) Très contente de ce restaurant ! Un tartare bœuf fait maison ainsi que des frites maison pour un prix très raisonnable ! Mon copain a prit la spécialité du restaurant ( bavette à l’échalote ) et c’était délicieux 😋 !! Un personnel très accueillant, bon vivant et gentil comme tout 😌 Cadre convivial et agréable je recommande les yeux fermés !

Tout en longueur, avec un bar en début de salle, très bon accueil et belle ambiance. Le repas fut excellent, les rillettes de poisson étaient excellentes, la hampe, plat du jour, également. Le dessert, un café gourmand, bon aussi, un bon moment. Un seul bémol, un peu bruyant, rien de bien grave, on reviendra.

(Original) Très bonne ambiance le patron super sympathique et drôle repas au top et le liqueur de poire est un régal très bonne découverte je reviendrai !!

Super! On y mange très bien, l'ambiance est top! Les plats sont bons et ceux que je n'ai pas pu goûter, ont l'air appétissant.

Perfect place to get the full French experience of Lyon. Highly recommend

very good restaurant experience very well located, not far from the Hôtel Dieu and the hotel. Carltone super good at the height of a 4 star restaurant. I loved the flank steak, a taste for you to come and taste this place is magical, my mother loved the painting exhibition. We will come back very soon and don't change anything, you are on top 🫶

We had a fantastic lunch in this restaurant back in August 2021. We had beautiful steamed fish, the buttered snails and the rest all with super taste and quality! The owner couple were so friendly and we throughly enjoyed this meal. Highly recommendable for a casual lovely meal in case you are in Lyon.
