Colorful, old-school restaurant serving locally sourced traditional fare & French wine.

👍👍 Very nice discovery of Lyon. Seasonal, plant-based and organic cuisine, with vegan and vegetarian dishes. Everything was good, from appetizer to dessert. We fell in love with the Makisterie maki recipe and the chocolate fondant. We even left with a soy sauce! Thank you for the service, the waitress...

👍👍 I was on my own walking around Lyon. Decided to try a nice café. Saw this cafe had 4.8 stars said what the heck. Immediately greeted pleasantly smiling. Very helpful. Spoke really good English.

Rustic environment with yellow tones & exposed rafters, cooking homestyle French meals.

😠 I won't recommend La Cabane for any Asian background customers. As I visited the restrant two times, the first time, I was with lots of Americans, the food and the service were excellent. However, I visted there by myself on Wednesday, the food and service are really bad. The Mussel was in very bad...
