Il se situe d'ailleurs à la première halte vers Saint Jacques de Compostel. Pierres anciennes et boiseries habillent les murs de cette maison du XVIè siècle dont les salles d'intérieur et les terrasses s'étendent de part et d'autre d'une rue piétonne que le restaurant s'est en partie appropriée. Amateur de musique, le propriétaire des lieux partage cette passion en exposant les divers instruments de musique qui proviennent de ces voyages à travers le monde. La cuisine ? Avant-tout des produits du terroir, une véritable mise en avant du patrimoine culinaire du pays. "Pounti auvergnat aux pruneaux", "Gigot d'agneau noir du Velay", des spécialités auxquelles il faut ajouter l'Hypocras, c'est-à-dire le vin que le restaurant prépare lui-même, tout comme sa

Yum! I finally got to try Soline with a friend! I had a bouillabaisse with fennel and carrots,…read moreserved with rice and a side salad. A real side salad with multiple vegetables! And for dessert I had a piece of pear & almond tart - vegan and gluten free. It was all very good. My friend had a chickpea tajine that was a little spicy and served with couscous. I only had a taste but it certainly left me wanting more. I really like that this place exists and is so close to my house. I do wish they were open for evenings and weekends though. (They do serve dinner Monday - Friday but it's by reservation only.)

I'm torn between three and four stars here... Soline kinda deserves four stars just for being a…read morevegetarian restaurant in Lyon! The food is nice and it's organic, the service is friendly. It's more of a cafeteria than a restaurant but that's ok. But the food is after all just nice and nothing one couldn't make at home. It might deserve four stars for veggie-deprived France but for more vegetarian-friendly countries (i.e. anywhere but France) it's a bit disappointing, it misses the twist and some innovation. The prices range from around ten Euros for a big salad to nineteen for a set menu that includes starter, main and dessert, which I find a bit steep for what you get. So like my star dilemma, not sure if I'll go back despite everything that it has going for it.

This was our first Michelin restaurant in Lyon, France and we went there for lunch. The food was…read moreabsolutely incredible which we gave it 5 stars. Service could be improved due to other Michelin restaurant I never had to refill my glass with water which hurt them. The restaurant was well decorated, cozy and inviting. They also let you visit the kitchen anytime while preparing our food which added a thrilling behind-the-scene element to the dining experience. Would highly recommend this place.....

Ambiance-1: Where you get seated in this restaurant matters a lot. We came for the "immersive"…read moreexperience of watching the chef in a "unique" setting but instead got the unpleasant experience of watching guests go in and out of the bathroom. With the exception of another couple and their dog, our family of four were seated in area separate from the main dining room, next to the bathroom, isolated from the open kitchen and other diners. A note to future diners: make sure and request a table in the main dining room. Food-4: with the exception of the pigeon, the fish , vegetable, and dessert courses were well presented with delicate flavors that leaned toward the floral and fruity. Meal and wine pairings were good but not revelatory. We expected more from a Michelin starred restaurant. Service-3: uneven, one of our junior sommeliers was excellent and she really made our experience better whereas the head waiter provided perfunctory service. Overall-3: Without the actual "immersive" experience and "unique setting", the food and service alone was not enough for this dinner to be memorable.

I found this while searching for a restaurant with good vegetarian options in the Croix Rousse…read moreneighborhood of Lyon. We were very pleased with the atmosphere and the food! We couldn't read anything on the menu (which was a chalkboard that they brought around) but an English speaking waitress talked us through it. I had what she called "the menu where you don't choose anything" which was a selection of all the vegetarian options they had that day (eight in total including Soup, Quiche, Couscous, a number of salads, hummus, cheese and others) and a dessert sampler plate of the four desserts that day. My meat-eating companion asked the waitress to bring him her favorite things had an appetizer of cheese toast with caramelized onion and herb spread and a roast chicken in sauce with rice for the entree. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. One note, my companion did not order a dessert and, therefore, did not get the menu/deal, so his food ended up being about 8 euros more than it would have been had he gotten the dessert. So be careful to order one of the actual menu options, not just a la carte. (This is good advice in France generally as everywhere has the "Menu" multicourse option that gets you the best price).
