(Last visited 11/11/2021.) So while hanging out in Lyon for a couple of weeks on business my…read morecoworker found this place via some Google'ing and I am so elated that he did! Let me tell you why I paid this place a visit twice in 3 days! Atmosphere/Appearance: Right among the cobblestone streets in the surrounding downtown area is this gem. It's a lil' hidden and is only distinguishable by either looking through the big windows or the lil' sign that hands right above the stone archway. The interior design carries in that older European architecture that's present right on the outside. There's lots of stone everywhere, big picture frames, a small bar at the back of the restaurant and the see-in kitchen to the left. There are only a few tables so be sure to have reservations or some good luck! Lol. Service: Stéfane (@stf_nws on Instagram )is the owner/operator/chef/bartender/everything. Lol. He was SO FREAKING COOL and so chill. Despite having to literally do everything in the restaurant, he did it with a passion, with style, with flare and with love. You could just tell he put his soul into this restaurant and into this food. Food: On both of my visits I went with their big gourmet plate. I can't remember the official name of the plate, but it was gigantic. Lol. It comes with a plate FULL of smoked goodies! Beef ribs, pulled pork, sausage, chicken and the choice of 2 sides. For my sides I went with the beans and side salad. My goodness. Everything was FANTASTIC and smoked to perfection. I don't even wanna single anything out, but the ribs FLOORED me. They were so incredible juicy, smokey and full of flavor, but you can't go wrong with any of the components of this meal. Value: I can't remember the exact amount, but I believe my plate was around 35€ and absolutely worth it. In conclusion, do I even need to tell you how much I loved this place? It was intimate, tasty, affordable and gave you such a great experience. I can't wait to visit this place again!

Just walked by and decided to stop. The cute Texas style decor caught our eye. The chef/smoke…read moremaster is fun and easy going. He's the server and bartender too. He found a table for us even though the place was booked solid. Make reservations. Our meals were fantastic. The burger was a chef's creation and superb. The mixed meats plate was enormous and also superb. Don't skip his cardiac fries. Not typical fries. They're chunks of potatoes maybe fried, roasted, or sauced. I don't know. But they were magical. Don't skip them. Not much English is spoken, so we muddled through with Google translate. We ate what the chef suggested and we were thrilled. New World Smoke is a true hidden gem. Glad we found it.

This place is the most fun ever. Great food. Great atmosphere…read more Not a lot of tourists know about this place but it's quite well known among the locals. It can handle large parties without issue and the staff are VERY accommodating. Basically, it's a barbecue at your table with flaming hot coals. Your options are meet, chicken, fish, and veggies or a mixture of those. Everything is of the highest quality and the collection of sauces only adds to the amazingness of the meal Now I've let you all in on the secret of this place...don't tell anyone!!!

My mother really wanted steak for some reason and we walked past this restaurant a few times as it's near our hotel. Really liked everything about this place except the music playlist. It's very country, Texas, redneck style music, not what I would expect in France let alone Lyon. Most Americans don't listen to that style of country. One song was title I'm a redneck woman or something like thay. Most if not all restaurants played a mix of American, French and international music but this music felt like I was in the backwoods of Confederate Alabama, Texas, etc. you can be an American influenced steakhouse without the country music.

Brought my boyfriend here for his birthday dinner. Delicious! The baby back ribs were super…read morebarbecue-y and the meat was literally falling off the bone! I wish the portion was slightly larger though. My boyfriend's steak was cooked to medium rare perfection and was incredibly juicy and creamy, and the side dishes complemented the meat very well. They also had an interesting selection of American wines which we thought paired perfectly with our meal. We'll definitely be eating here again soon! Highly recommend!

Best steak I had in Europe. It's a butcher and a restaurant. Friendly service and great owners…read more Dessert was also delicious.

Wow... wow. I'm…read morealmost speechless. i just feel like I have to write a review before I fall into an amazing meat coma. If you didn't read my review of the Meat House, this is what you need to know- "All of the greatest steaks of my life have come from this meat house. There is nothing quite like the greatest steak of your life, I'm convinced it gives you slight superpowers and a feeling of euphoria." They have officially been beaten, but let it be known that Lyon has an unfair advantage. This place is clean, sleek, and smells amazing. There is a pristine glass case where you can see dozens of perfect-ten types of meat from the best regions in the world, and you can pick whatever you like. That is, if you don't want to order from their awesome menu. Best part is, the prices are fantastic. You get incredible quality for a price that is much lower than what I'm used to for product like this. Best steak dinner at a restaurant in my life. Make a reservation atleast a week in advance, or you lose.
