Lyon bouchon recommendations?
We have a reservation at Cafe des Federations, and I'm looking for one or two other good bouchons to visit during our few days in Lyon. We're hoping to spend no more than 40-50 euros per person. If there are restaurants in that price range that aren't traditional bouchons but are worth visiting, we'd love to hear about those as well. Thanks!

La Machonnerie. True bouchon, very friendly cook and owner, small place, local clientele.
Located at the cathedral end of the Old Town.
Ask for a gnafron, his home mad drink. Ooof.

This is info from a couple of years ago:
Nov. issue of Gourmet highlighted the "bouchons" of Lyon, which they said are all about food and not so much about service. However, the article is so complimentary about the food and rough and tumble ambiance, that I'd try them in a minute.
Recommended are:
Cafe Comptoir Abel, 25 rue Guynemer
Chez Hugon, 12 rue Pizay
Chez Paul, 11 rue Major-Martin
Daniel et Denise, 156 rue de Crequi
Le Garete, 7 rue du Garete
Le Jura, 25 rue Tupin
Au Petit Bouchon Chez Georges, 8 rue du Garet
