We drank here rather than ate here…read more But our one visit definitely made me want to come back for a real meal. * * * The Cafe Charmant is a visuals play. It is probably the most artistically decorated cafe we encountered in Lyon, short of the great grand Art Deco of Brasserie Georges. This is more intimate and more striking. The motif is lush vegetation, painted on to an olive green background. Green on green. The vegetation swirls in every direction in graceful curls. Cafe Charmant is in a not very charmant neighborhood, the immediate environs of Gare Oullins, a functional boxy modern train station with all the architectural beauty of a highway intersection. The buildings around it are uninspired modern apartments or somewhat industrial looking offices. In this grim suburban setting, Cafe Charmant is an oasis for the eyes and for the soul. My suspicion is that the food is just as good as the decor, But you will have to find that out for yourself.

The bar isn't far from most of the international hotels - and is a nice walk as well. Inside, the place is decorated as....a fancy cat bar? Awesome. Especially when paired with good music and great bartending - everyone was very nice and helpful. Especially for one who speaks very little French.
