rude staff! wasn't able to get a table!…read more I don't think it's worth bothering especially if you're from out of town. Go to L'hermitage close by for a drink for the amazing view of Lyon, or go to Le Comptoir de St Cyr for a nice meal, but don't bother being treated poorly by the restaurant owner of La Haut sur la Colline. Locals are great great hosts usually, but this owner is a snobby out-of-towner who judges you on your appearance, treats you badly and thinks he's cool.

This is a cool French tapas bar with nice service, good food, and great wine…read more I don't know if others would find the Côtes du Rhône here as delicious as I did, but after a long day of travel, it really hit the spot. I got their trio of tartare as well as their potatoes. The 3 tartare were: classic, vegetable, and mint. The vegetable one was far and above my favorite. Second was the mint. The mint gave it a more Middle Eastern taste which worked. My least favorite was the classic. I've had much tastier "classic" tartares and this one tasted like they put ketchup in it or something like that. I was not a fan. The potatoes seasoned with Herbes de Provence were good. The atmosphere is nice too and almost feels cave/cellar like. They have a number of other delicious looking tapas to choose from and I definitely would return.

Menu changes regularly based one what's fresh. In a food obsessed city with a ton of amazing restaurants this place always made my commute to France worth it.

Don't let the other reviews scare you about reservations. I got a reservation on my phone right…read moreafter getting off the train in Lyon. It was a cold Monday evening so maybe that's why. Just clicked the link to their website in the yelp app and filled out the reservation info. After a long day of flying, exploring Paris, and taking the high speed train, I was hungry. I was looking for a good place that I could eat by myself. This place was a short walk from the train station (I wheeled my luggage). I chose to eat outside so it wouldn't be awkward inside with my giant suitcase. Even though I made my reservation for 830pm, they seated me at 8pm when I arrived. I chose 1 of each of the categories on the menu. To my surprise the serve brought me a declious cucumber salad as an amuse bouche.

When in Lyon, one thing I look forward to so much is food! Lyon is foodie's heaven. I've been so…read morelucky to run into so many great restaurants at every visit to Lyon and this place was no exception. Prior to arriving Lyon, I searched and searched. Used google translate to read reviews in French from different sites. Made reservation and we were the first customers that night. They have good selection of local wines at reasonable price. I really enjoyed their wine. Course meal is 27€ per person including appetizer, main and desert. Since I couldn't pick what I wanted, they decided to give me small potion of everything. Everything I ate was so good, no wonder why they are so popular among locals. Yes this place is located in the middle of residential area, you need to know it's here to come here. Walking distance from the Lyon train station. One lady spoke excellent English and it was so helpful and she assisted our table so well. Highly recommend for great dinner at a such a reasonable price. My love for Lyon food continues...

The layers of flavors and textures were what blew us away. It was seasoned perfectly. The dessert is what really got us, so intricate and delicate but yet all blended together really well. The server that night was so sweet and went the extra mile to translate the menu for us so we knew what we were ordering! The cafe itself is very relaxed and cozy. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to come back soon!

Fauves became my go-to spot in the neighbourhood. The reason: it never disappoints. It doesn't…read morematter what they have on the menu (which changes daily), it's fresh and delicious. The price is also on the low-to-average end for any sit-down restaurant, which makes it a bargain in my opinion, especially for lunch. During non-meal hours, I'd spend 1-2 hours working over coffee, and the service was always courteous and friendly (the latter can be uncommon in France). They were always patient with my terrible french - the last time I was there, our server even complimented how much it had improved since the first time I'd come (I completely embarrassed myself by not knowing what she was saying =p) If you're in the neighbourhood, stop by Fauves for lunch, or even just a coffee. You will be pleased!
