The best restaurant we tried in Lyon out of all the Michelin guide ones. Tasting menu was thoughtful, beautifully presented and delicious. The ambience is cosy and comfortable, and the team is so friendly and informative. The chef is on the floor serving all night, engaging guests, explaining to us the dishes and his inspiration for them. Super reasonably priced for the quality too. We had the 6 course tasting menu with aperitifs, couple of wine pairings and dessert wine - totalled about 100 euros per person. Fantastic experience, can’t wait to visit again when in Lyon.

Simply amazing. Extremely knowledgeable waiters and simply delicious cuisine. Each course, even the amuse bouche, was precisely and deliciously executed. My meal was a progression of perfectly blended flavors, with perfectly paired wines. This was easily one of the best meals of my life. I wish I could give it 6 stars...it was on another level.

Surprise menu for a very balanced palette. Everything was so delicious. The staff was very friendly and welcoming as well. The chef was very creative with the carrot dessert. Didn't think it could be that yummy. Even though it says 6 dishes but we left feeling very full and satisfied.

We tried the 6 course surprise menu, with actually about 8-9 things to test, honestly superb. Also a 4 course option. Tailored to all dietary needs - vegetarian friendly 🌱! Local ingredients - they even cut chocolate and vanilla from the menu to really focus on what ingredients around Lyon can offer.

Sublime voyage of flavors. I had the "menu surprise - 4 assiettes" and it was fantastic! Staff was also very friendly and they were grooving a Steely Dan playlist. Fine Cuisine and ambience... you can't be disappointed here. OK crazy I swear I didn't read any of the other reviews until after I posted, the last three of us all had the "surprise menu" and each used the word fantastic. Now it's your turn 😉

(Translated by Google) A very nice discovery that this restaurant, where everyone, from the waitresses to the chef, takes care of the guests. And what a kitchen! Richness of taste, originality of the mixed flavors, quality of the products, everything contributed to an excellent, surprising and ultimately memorable dinner. It had been a long time since I had had such pleasure in front of one (or rather 4!) Plate ... Thank you to the entire Atelier des Augustins team for this evening! PS: I do not post a photo, the mystery of the dishes and their elegance being part of the pleasure of tasting ... (Original) Une très belle découverte que ce restaurant, où chacun, des serveuses au chef, est aux petits soins pour les convives. Et quelle cuisine ! Richesse de goût, originalité des saveurs mêlées, qualité des produits, tout a concouru à un dîner excellent, surprenant et au final mémorable. Cela faisait bien longtemps que je n'avais pas eu un tel plaisir devant une (ou plutôt 4 !) assiette... Merci à toute l'équipe de l'Atelier des Augustins pour cette soirée ! PS : je ne poste pas de photo, le mystère des plats et de leur élégance faisant partie du plaisir de la dégustation...

(Translated by Google) It was good and welcoming despite the last of 6 dishes which left something to be desired I highly recommend The service is perfect and the wait very short mention to the waitress who is very nice (Original) C'était bon et accueillant malgré le dernier des 6 plats qui laissait un peu a désirer je recommande vivement Le service est parfait et l'attente très courte mention a la serveuse qui est très gentil

(Translated by Google) I took the 6 dishes, ONE WITHOUT FAULT except for the first chocolate, grape, port dessert. I really advise you to go there, it's a great experience. A mention to the waitress simply incredible, listening to the customer and very knowledgeable about his products. I will come back ! (Original) J’ai pris les 6 plats, UN SANS FAUTE excepté pour le premier dessert chocolat, raisin, porto. Je vous conseille vraiment de vous y rendre, c’est une expérience géniale. Une mention à la serveuse tout bonnement incroyable, a l’écoute du client et très connaisseuse de ses produits. Je reviendrais !

Thank you everyone in the Augustins team. I was on their waiting list and their reservation was full. They are very accommodating, I travel from afar (from Hong Kong) to experience their surprises. I’m glad they made a space for me, this was one of my highlights in France. Sophie her recommendation was on point and she is very knowledgeable. She and her FOH colleagues provide the utmost service anyone could ask for. Every dishes were perfectly executed by the kitchen team. Temperatures was right, every bite full of flavour, different texture and very pleasant to the eyes and well balanced. This was an eye opening experience for me in French cuisine. Highly Recommended! ;)

Underwhelming experience for lunch. Reviews were really amazing but we found that the food lacked creativity and the service was ?strange. It’s hard to describe but the service seems very fake, with fake smiles and cold attitude. We found it very odd at a place like this that they asked us to keep our cutlery between entree and main. Food was beautifully played but texturally one-noted. I found the foie gras appetizer specifically lacked seasoning and creativity. Unfortunately we did not enjoy our meal very much and experienced much better meals in Lyon and Paris

An incredible meal: refine, delicate with fantastic service but not with too much fuss. My best restaurant experience in ages. The menu is a surprise you don t chose and they bring 4 dishes with attentions to all culinary details.

Amazing food and great service. The server was very friendly and patient with us as we did not speak much french. The atmosphere was cozy and unpretentious even though the food would be classified as quite fine dining. Had veal head for the main and it was mind-blowingly good. One of the best dining experiences that I've ever had.

Both, food and service were outstanding. The dishes had a nice traditional yet modern combination of flavours and the staff took their time to explain them and the ideas behind it. I really felt being taken care of and so did my palate.

Amazing value for money at lunch! The menu was a ‘surprise’ so there was no choice but we weren’t disappointed by the lamb. The fish we had was good as well, but we should’ve both chose meat dishes.

We had the 4 course special menu with paired wines and it was absolutely marvellous. Each course was beautifully complex in flavour and presentation without being pretentious. This was probably one of the best meals I've ever had. The staff were super friendly and the restaurant itself is really nice inside. A must do for anyone in Lyon!

Beautiful and modern restaurant, great food, fantastic experience, very good service.

"menu surprise" six courses made only from local products. Our personal highlight was the dessert, amazing what you.can create out of... carrots.

We had a great experience. The waiters were very charming and we really enjoyed the surprise menu with 6 courses. The restaurant has a calm vibe with a lovely interior. Perfect for a date night or a small group of friends.

(Translated by Google) The dishes are incredibly fine. We feel that passion is the driving force behind this small Gastronomic restaurant at more than reasonable prices. Let yourself be guided. For sure I would recommend it. See you soon (Original) Les plats sont d’une finesse incroyable.

(Translated by Google) Delicious !! Really very good. Original, inventive, tasteful. At the level of the dishes it's perfect. A little disappointed by one (out of 6!) With the port raisins chocolate dessert, the rest is divine. By cons the frame is average. Basic decoration, quite sound, noisy staircase, basin and old toilet faucet. Beware of 220 € for two, you have zero defects ..... competition reigns! (Original) Délicieux !! Vraiment du très bon. Original, inventif, gustatif. Au niveau des plats c’est parfait. Un peu déçu par un seul (sur 6!) avec le dessert chocolat raisins porto, le reste est divin. Par contre le cadre est moyen. Décoration sommaire, assez sonore, escalier bruyant, vasque et robinet des WC vétustes. Attention à 220€ pour deux il faut zéro défaut.....la concurrence règne!

(Translated by Google) Great restaurant, we really enjoyed ourselves. The servers have visors, the distances between the tables are good. No complaints (Original) Super restaurant, on s est régalé. Les serveurs ont des visières, les distances entre les tables sont bonnes. Rien à redire

(Translated by Google) A restaurant that deserves one star! Very good gourmet restaurant at a very reasonable price. An incredible listening to the customer (allergies, desire), a service in the simplicity and conviviality. The wine recommendations are perfect, especially with the Food and Wine Pairing formula where we were blown away by the accuracy of the choices and the quality! And the dishes are a delight! It's perfect every time :) I highly recommend, and we will be returning as soon as it opens. (Original) Un restaurant qui mérite une étoile ! Très bon restaurant gastronomique à prix tout à fait raisonnable. Une écoute incroyable du client (allergies, envie), un service dans la simplicité et la convivialité. Les recommandations en vin sont parfaites, surtout avec la formule Accord mets et vins où nous avons été époustouflé de la justesse des choix et de la qualité ! Et les plats sont un délice ! C'est parfait à chaque fois :) Je recommande grandement, et nous y retournerons dès l'ouverture.

Love the upstairs sitting. Food is excellent and very polite and good service.

Stunning food and fantastic service. The food was fresh and flavorful and truly a delightful experience. The 6 course tasting and wine pairing was a perfectly balanced match. Would go back again!

(Translated by Google) Very good evening and nice discovery. Very pleasant service, beautiful wine list that the manager knows perfectly well, we drank two good Burgundies accompanied by fine and original dishes. I would come back for sure! (Original) Tres bonne soirée et belle découverte. Service très agréable, belle carte des vins que le gérant connaît parfaitement, nous avons bu deux bons Bourgognes accompagnés de plats fins et originaux. Je reviendrais cest certain !

Amazing food, excellent service and incredibly reasonable price for lunch.

We should have written this review the night of our dinner there, however, the experience lasted over 3 hours. It was just wonderful. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and cared about doing a great job - which is why I am calling it an experience. It was not cheap, but it was worth it. We chose the pairing menu. The wines were flavorful and of quality, well-paired with each course. It was a nice opportunity to try different wines than we might have bought ourselves. The food deserves the star(s) too. My venison was tender, juicy, ample, with a touch of the flavor of wild game but not overwhelming. It looked so good I forgot to take a photo. The entrees were similar.... well-balanced flavors. Make your reservation ahead.

I really really like the restaurant! A friend from Lyon recommended and I cannot appreciate more. I have been to the best restaurant in Asia and some other Michelin start restaurants, and this one is definitely among the same rank as them and maybe at the top. I ordered surprised menu - the food quantity is good a bit too much for me, but might be a bit small for a big stomach.

Excellent dinner. Chef was working in the restaurant, which provided a great opportunity to learn about the dishes, ingredients, cooking techniques etc. We did the 6 course "surprise" tasting menu. Every dish was well executed and delicious. Place was full. People turned away without reservations so make them! 😀

Absolutely amazing service!. The food made my palate explode with every bite. This is a must if you're in Lyon. I had the surprise dish... it was truly an unforgettable experience.

(Translated by Google) Great experience at the Atelier des Augustins! We took the 4-course menu with wine pairing, and we didn't regret it. The foie gras as a starter was delicious, the dishes were really delicious, and the perfect dessert to end the meal. The wines that were offered to us matched perfectly with each dish, and were all very good. The service is very professional and pleasant, you feel really welcome. Special mention to the small desserts offered by the house which allow us to put us in the mouth, as well as to the chef who comes to present each wine he serves us, with good explanations. He also makes sure when we leave that we had a good time (super top!). Really, I recommend this restaurant without hesitation, nice and surprising concept, we are really not disappointed. The menus with the wine pairing are a bit expensive but they are worth it. Thank you again for this beautiful evening! (Original) Super expérience à l'Atelier des Augustins ! Nous avons pris le menu 4 plats avec accord mets-vins, et nous n'avons pas regretté. Le foie gras en entrée était délicieux, les plats étaient vraiment succulents, et le dessert parfait pour terminer le repas. Les vins qui nous ont été proposés s'accordaient parfaitement avec chaque plat, et étaient tous très bons. Le service est très pro et agréable, on se sent vraiment bien accueilli. Mention spéciale aux petits entremets offerts par la maison qui permettent de nous mettre en bouche, ainsi qu'au chef qui vient présenter chaque vin qu'il nous sert, avec de bonnes explications. Il s'assure également lorsque l'on part que l'on a passé un bon moment (super top !). Vraiment, je recommande ce restaurant sans hésiter, concept sympa et surprenant, nous ne sommes vraiment pas déçus. Les menus avec l'accord mets-vins sont un peu cher mais ils valent le coup. Merci encore pour cette belle soirée !

(Translated by Google) Very good in terms of service but a value for money that is not at the rendezvous. Ridiculous dessert portion! Waking up at 5am with hunger pangs, it's not normal when you pay such a note (Original) Très bien au niveau du service mais un rapport qualité prix qui n'est pas au rendez-vous. Portion de déssert ridicule ! Se réveiller à 5h du matin avec la faim au ventre, ce n'est pas normal quand on s'acquitte d'une note pareille

(Translated by Google) From starter to dessert everything was perfect. The dishes all arrived at the right time, the servers were very pleasant and the value for money was very good. The food / wine pairing is well constructed. It was a great time, we will definitely go back. (Original) De l'entrée au dessert tout fut parfait.

Où est son étoile ? Les plats sont surprise, et la surprise est bonne. Les proportions sont parfaites et l'enchaînement trois plats (+ trois entreplats) est très maîtrisé.

(Translated by Google) What an amazing place! Here you will be greeted warmly and with great care. The quality of the product and the care taken in the dishes lead you to discover surprising, gourmet and original flavors that will not leave you hungry. An explosion of taste reinforced by the concept of a surprise menu, which, which may make you skeptical at first, arising from an unfounded fear of the unknown, finally transports you to an incredible attraction that will delight you. Whether or not we like certain foods, everyone will find what they are looking for. And the wine ... Apotheosis of the meal, I recommend the "food and wine" option of the menu: wines that accompany your culinary journey in the most beautiful way, and oh so well chosen! It's simple, here we are facing one of the best gourmet restaurants in the Lyon region. (Original) Quel incroyable endroit ! Ici vous serez accueillis chaleureusement et avec grand soin. La qualité de produit, et le soin apporté au plats vous emmènent à la découverte de saveurs surprenantes, gourmandes et originales qui ne laissent pas sur leurs faim. Une explosion gustative renforcée par le concept de menu surprise, qui, pouvant rendre sceptique au premier abord, découlant d'une peur infondée de l'inconnu, vous transporte finalement dans une attraction incroyable qui vous ravira. Que l'on n'aime ou pas certains aliments tout le monde y trouvera son bonheur. Et le vin... Apothéose du repas, je vous recommande l'option "mets et vins" du menu: des vins qui accompagnent de la plus belle des façons votre voyage culinaire, et ô combien bien choisis ! C'est simple, on est ici face à l'un des meilleurs restaurant gastronomique de la région lyonnaise.

(Translated by Google) Let yourself be guided, the trip will only be more exceptional Thank you Very nice wine list! (Original) Laissez vous guider, le voyage n’en sera que plus exceptionnel Merci Très belle carte des vins !

(Translated by Google) My first gourmet restaurant. Just perfect (Original) Mon premier restaurant gastronomique. Juste parfait

(Translated by Google) Very nice gourmet restaurant, we had a very good evening tasting the 6-plate menu (surprise) with its very well-matched wines. We feel that they want to find a place in starred restaurants and do it well, in the preparation of the dishes and preparations (starters to die for and dishes that meet our expectations). The staff are very friendly and take good care of us all evening. Only downside can be, on the six dishes with the wines I think the whole was a bit too rich. But otherwise other than that it was delicious. We fell in love with the sauces of certain dishes which were incredible! (Original) Restaurant gastronomique très sympathique, nous avons passé une très bonne soirée à déguster le menu de 6 assiettes (surprise) avec ses vins très bien accordés. On sent qu’ils veulent se faire une place dans les restaurants étoilés et le rendent bien, dans la mise en place des plats et préparations (des entrées à tomber par terre et des plats à la hauteur de nos attentes). Le personnel est très sympathique et s’occupe bien de nous toute la soirée. Seul bémol peut être, sur les six plats avec les vins je pense que le tout était un poil trop copieux. Mais sinon à part ça c’était délicieux. Gros coup de cœur sur les sauces de certains plats qui étaient incroyables!

(Translated by Google) Top, a very nice discovery ... (Original) Top, une très belle découverte...

Amazing food, excellent service and incredibly reasonable price for lunch. Had the 3 course meal and it was perfect!

(Translated by Google) Lovely welcome to begin with, followed by a series of more sophisticated and tasty dishes.

(Original) Très bon moment passé en famille à l'Atelier des Augustins, belle découverte, cuisine inventive et subtile, accueil souriant, c'est sûr je reviendrai!!

We arrived at the restaurant last night at 8pm for a reservation for 4 persons made in mid-November. I received both a confirmation text and email message for the booking yesterday. I showed them the emails and text message. The staff could not find a booking and claimed it was lost in a “changeover of the booking system”. They said they were booked out and could not find a table. Our party was myself and my male partner from Australia and our two guests were a young married Australian couple, of Asian heritage. Restaurants in France have from time to time been accused of discrimination. I hope this was not the case (we could see a table for four in the middle of the restaurant empty). We were also unable to find any other tables in a couple of restaurants near our hotel and ended up having a drink and snacks at a bar. A thoroughly disappointing experience on our last night in Lyon. The restaurant also had the gall to send me a thank you email this morning - “We thank you for your visit and hope that you had an excellent time at the Augustins workshop.” Disappointing. Book online at your peril.
