Agastache Restaurant

We had an incredible lunch at this restaurant. The meal began with Radish, Butter, and Olive as an appetizer for my team, while I opted for the Poached Foie Gras, which was absolutely divine—melting in my mouth with rich, delicate flavors. For the main courses, my Cuttlefish with Lentils and Rice was decent but didn’t particularly stand out. However, the Beef with Artichoke and Agretti was fantastic—perfectly tender, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. Desserts were a highlight. I enjoyed the Date, Balsamic, and Peanut, while my team had the Passion Fruit and Saffron from Pierres Dorées, both offering unique and well-executed flavors. The total cost was just a little over 60 euros for two, an incredible price for such high-quality cuisine. Definitely one of the best fine dining values we’ve ever had! Highly recommended—be sure to book in advance.

I can’t recommend Agastache enough. We loved the really friendly atmosphere and the fact that the majority of guests were locals which is always a good sign. Away from the tourist district it is a real gem. A menu of innovative dishes interspersed with surprising interludes/amuses bouches. All corses were delicious, from the mussels on a bed of courgettes and under a foam, to the potato stack cooked in coconut milk, to the most tender pork fillet on a bed of black garlic infused grains and then the dessert….. chocolate-seaweed-lemon at its essence but you can’t describe it. You have to eat it. We spent less per person on the whole meal including wine than we do for a very mediocre single course and a drink in London.

An amazing meal! So glad I booked a couple of weeks in advance. It was a lovely restaurant setting and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and high quality. Will definitely come back next time we're in Lyon

Visited 09/09/25 for a lunch when visiting family in Lyon with my girlfriend. This place is a “hidden gem”. High quality fine dining experience with a reasonable price tag given what you get. Service was friendly and speed was appropriate for the experience. I also imagine a business lunch would go down well with someone you want to impress. We added and shared the optional cheese course and this was our favourite (very unique flavour, temperature combos). The squid was also a highlight, perfectly cooked with a rich contrasting source. Thanks team. James & Lauren x

Wow. I had lunch here because of a few recommendations online. One of the best meals of my life. For the price it is probably the best restaurant I have been to. Everything is cooked to perfection and the presentation is phenomenal. The staff are very friendly and helped me to understand the dishes (I don’t speak French) to give me the full experience. Would recommend this to anybody looking for the best lunch in Lyon.
