Le Bœuf d'Argent

Really nice place with amazing owner. We were served by one of the owners who super kindly told us about their story and what they are trying to accomplish which was super nice. Food wise really amazing they have a business lunch for like 40 EUR which is really good value. See the pictures for the food I would highly recommend :) Also kid friendly they gave us a high chair 🪑

This restaurant, offering a tasting menus (€60, 90, 120 and 200), presents itself as fine dining. I tried the €120 menu. Overall, it felt like I had already eaten most of these dishes elsewhere — in mid-range restaurants. The flavors were flat, lacking depth or creativity. The absence of any original taste combinations is the only lasting impression I took away from the evening. The presentation of the dishes lacked character. Three different courses were served on identical black plates, which felt uninspired. The bread was terrible — if you press it with a knife or your finger, it just sticks together. You could use it instead of clay. The dining room tries to look designer, but the tables are made of plastic designed to imitate black marble, and the ceiling is painted with a shiny, reflective paint that feels out of place. The cloth towels in the restroom smelled musty and not fresh. I do not recommend dining at this restaurant.

Tucked away in Lyon’s old town, this charming, family-owned restaurant is a true culinary treasure. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with genuine warmth by a family who clearly takes great pride in their food, service, and the experience they create for every guest. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, blending rustic charm with elegant touches that make you feel both at home and somewhere special. The passion of the owners shines through in every detail—from the attentive, friendly service to the beautifully crafted dishes that arrive at your table. Each plate is a work of art, thoughtfully presented and bursting with flavor. The kitchen masterfully combines textures and tastes in a way that feels both fresh and exciting, yet deeply comforting. Every bite is a reminder of how food can tell a story—one of tradition, creativity, and love. The wine selection is offers great options that perfectly complement the menu. Speaking of the menu, there are several to choose from, each offering a multi-course journey that will leave you completely satisfied (and very full—so come hungry!). Despite the number of courses, the portions are generous, ensuring no one leaves wishing for more. In short, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the soul of Lyon through food. It's more than just a meal—it’s a warm, delicious memory waiting to be made. Ps. Menu available on English and the staff all speak English

We spent a magical evening hosted by the charming Alban Perez and his incredibly talented colleagues who prepared two delightful set menus for us on a warm spring night this March. Every dish was a work of art in both appearance and taste; I had the Menu Balade végétarien and my partner had the Menu Balade and we loved every bite. Every course that arrived was elevated by Alban's explanations—we were very curious—and wit. Afterward, Viviana came out to greet us and we had a wonderful chat about her professional journey from her home in Naples, Italy to Belgium, Norway, and elsewhere in Europe -- always cooking in Michelin-starred establishments -- before she ended up in Lyon. This is a warm, family-run restaurant without pretension or pomp; everyone pulls together and works hard to create magic for their guests every night. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is only a matter of time before it earns a star!

Amazing! Such a lovely place, with great service, such tasty food made with love by an italian woman chef. We had the grand menu and the italian menu and we lived a magical culinary experience. Everything was delicious and above our expectations. Highly recomand! I think its a must in Lyon.
