1. L'Étage
$$$ | Presqu'île |Hidden over Place des Terreaux, this semisecret upstairs dining room in a former silk-weaving loft prepares some of Lyon's finest and most daring cuisine. A place at the window (admittedly hard to come by), overlooking the facade of the Beaux Arts academy across the square, is a moment to remember—especially during December's Festival of Lights. The six-course €59 tasting menu at dinner is a steal for this quality of dining.
4 pl. des Terreaux, Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 69001, France04–78–28–19–59Known For
- Tiny, elegant dining room
- Stunning cuisine
- Great value three-course lunch menu

2. Les Apothicaires
$$$ | Brotteaux |Chefs Tabata and Ludovic Mey made instant waves when they opened this stylish but casual dining room serving a "liberated and sincere" menu that plays with textures, temperatures, and flavor pairings. Options include crisp white beans paired with velvety smoked eel and cubes of bone marrow with sparks of lemon thyme; you can also enjoy the crunch of roasted chamomile flowers over tender squid, with tart-sweet Meyer lemon and chamomile oil. The eight-course dinner menu (€98) is the best way to explore this virtuosic cuisine.

- Stunning flavor pairings
- Minute attention to details
- Superb wine list

3. Takao Takano
$$$ | Part-Dieu |After barely a year on his own, Takao Takano's eponymous restaurant earned off-the-charts accolades and a coveted Michelin star (now two) for his imaginative cuisine. Takano honed his craft during eight years as sous chef to Nicholas Le Bec (now in Shanghai), but he brings his own aesthetic to the fore in a warm, pared-down space outside the city center. Beautifully presented dishes, like tender Limousin lamb with artichokes and spicy olive oil; cucumber tarts with horseradish-inflected tarama and oyster-and-watercress gelée; roasted veal with bok choy, girolles mushrooms, and finely shaved lardo di Colonnata change according to the season.
33 rue Malesherbes, Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 69006, France04–82–31–43–39Known For
- Vibrant, superbly crafted cuisine
- Refined presentation
- Only the best ingredients

4. André
$$$ | |If Maison Pic, superstar chef Anne-Sophie Pic's gastronomic mothership, is too much of a splurge (and a splurge it is), her gourmet bistro just two steps away will set you right up. Named for her grandfather, founder of the Pic empire, the menu riffs on all the French classics that built the Pic name. The handsome wood-and-leather decor and swanky lighting feel both classic and contemporary, much like the menu of such timeless stalwarts as snails and parsleyed roasted potatoes, pâté en croute, filet de dorade royale, grilled entrecôte, and leeks vinaigrette, all at a fraction of what you'd pay next door.
285 av. Victor Hugo, Valence, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 26000, France04–75–44–53–86Known For
- Quiet, chic decor
- Excellent service
- Contemporary-classic recipes

5. Au 14 Février
$$$ | Vieux Lyon |Cupid's arrows don't quite account for the rapturous reviews (and one Michelin star) garnered by Tsuyoshi Arai in his tiny chocolate box of a restaurant. The persnickety Lyonnais have fallen hard, waiting weeks to savor dishes that combine Japanese subtlety with rigorous French technique—like poached foie gras and creamy parsnip puree with caramelized carrot sauce, scallops rolled in sole and smoky bacon, verbena-infused lobster consommé with caviar, and salmon tartare in a gingery court bouillon with zucchini mousse. The cozy atmosphere only adds to its allure.

- Gorgeous presentation
- Meticulous attention to details
- Beautiful dining room

6. Kamouraska
$$$ | |Here a long granite table invites conviviality, an essential part of dining according to the gifted chef and sommelier, who together make every effort to assure a standout dining experience. Using organic seasonal produce from local farmers, the freshest seafood from the Brittany coast, and quality grass-fed meats, chef Jérôme Bigot crafts wildly inventive dishes that send food lovers into raptures, complemented by Marie-Hélène Tardif's expert wine pairings and natural wine discoveries. On nice days, the cobbled terrace out front is a welcome addition to the minuscule dining room, which doubles as a wine cave.
6 passage de la Cathédrale, Annecy, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 74000, France09–50–78–82–96Known For
- Set menu that changes nightly
- Charming cobbled terrace
- All-day hours (for the wine cave)

7. La Treille Muscate
$$$ | |Between Lyon and Avignon there's no better place to dine and spend a night than at this old-style hotel, a symphony of muted 18th-century pastels, Provençal furnishings, and a decidedly rustic-luxe air. Though the decor feels slightly dated, the restaurant gets kudos from all the critics, and has a beautiful outdoor terrace, with views of the distant mountains, for warm-weather dining. You can't go wrong with the Sisteron lamb, rock lobster raviolis, or honey-lacquered duck breast, and the extensive wine list hits all the right local notes.
Le Village, Cliousclat, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 26270, France04–75–63–13–10Known For
- Honey-lacquered duck breast
- Quaint atmosphere
- Pretty outdoor terrace
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed early Dec.–mid-Feb., Reservations essentiel -
8. Le Cèpe
$$$ | |This place feels warm and welcoming even before you head through the front door, thanks to the rustic lanterns outside pointing the way. The wood-panel dining room is hushed, as most patrons seem like couples out for a romantic evening; good choice, as this is food you'll want to share: mushroom soup for a starter, perhaps, then crispy duck breast with roasted potatoes and a mushroom cream sauce. If you detect a theme to the dishes, the restaurant's name refers to porcini mushrooms. Desserts include blueberry tarts and waffles with salted butter and caramel ice cream.
Rte. D Plateau, Méribel, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 73550, France04–79–22–46–08Known For
- Hearty traditional dishes with an emphasis on mushrooms
- Cozy atmosphere
- Nice terrace

9. Le Rousseau
$$$ | |Deep blues and pearly grays dominate this elegantly streamlined dining room where chef Élie Michel-Villaz has made seasonality and simplicity his hallmark. Dishes change weekly, but diners have come to rely on his ingenious combinations of local grass-fed meats and organic vegetables with exotic accents, like tonka bean or smoked eel. What's more, the wine list is outstanding, prices are gentle, and you're encouraged to taste, sip, and savor this reliably delicious cuisine at your leisure.
