Cute tiny bagel place but a bit pricey. A bagel with butter is 4 euros. There's a few tables to sit…read moreat.

To be able to fully appreciate this place, I had to stop thinking in terms of real New York bagels…read more I just think of it as a French sandwich place that happens to serve frozen H&H bagels (toasted, duh). The owner is extremely pleasant and friendly and I'm pretty sure he recognizes me by now. I usually get a sandwich to go because the place is so tiny and you can always eat by the fountain on Place du Marechal Lyautey or on the quais du Rhone. So Americans and Anglophiles beware - this place doesn't even know the meaning of cream cheese, but you know what? I kind of like that. It's better than the other so-called bagel shops in Lyon that serve horrendous Philadelphia cream cheese. This one makes bagels "a la francaise" = with chevre cheese, or mozzarella, or different kinds of ham and tomatoes confit (I'm kind of laughing just thinking about it).

What a surprise! I walked into City Bagel on a whim and am glad I did! For 8,90€, I got a bagel…read moresandwich, a side, a drink, and a dessert to go. That's a pretty good deal around here. For the bagel, I selected the Times Square sandwich on "touts saveurs" (I finally know how to say "everything bagel" in French!), which came with grilled aubergine, fresh tomato, fresh lettuce, "cheddar" cheese (the kind we call "American" back home), and a little cole slaw. It was surprisingly filling - I think the aubergine really gave it a nice flavor and a good consistency. For the side, I picked the cole slaw, (your options are either that or chips,) and it was exactly how I remember cheap mayonnaise-based cole slaw from the states. I'm pretty sure the only ingredients are mayonnaise, cabbage, carrots, and vinegar. If I were making it at home, I would have added some fresh black pepper but we can't always get everything we want. I devoured the whole cup-full. As for dessert, I couldn't say no to a big chocolate chip cookie they had on display. This was the most perfect part: it was undercooked and chilled so it tasted just like chocolate chip cookie dough. Heaven! If you like your cookies cooked through though, maybe go with a doughnut or some cake. Overall: Yum! Maybe I'll try the other vegetarian bagel sandwich next time. (That's right: they have TWO!) ;) Side note: I still have yet to find the perfect bagel in Lyon. The search continues though.

I love Gourmix! They have a wide selection of different sandwiches, including many vegetarian…read moreoptions. You pick 3 small sandwiches to create a sampler. The options include many types of meats, cheeses, and spreads (like olive tapenade, honey, jam, caramelized onions etc.) It is a fast order at the counter place and affordable.

I came here on a day trip to Lyon. There are actually 2 locations, but the other one is closed on…read moreSunday, and this one, while open, has reduced hrs (lunch only) so I was lucky to have gotten here in time. It's tucked away on a small street just off the river, with a sign outside that just says G. The concept is basically sliders, but the fanciest, best tasting sliders I've ever had! There is an extensive menu with about 100 options, both meat and vegetarian, and they even had an English translation handy, in case your French brain isn't working. I chose a ham+chèvre, a fois gras + fig chutney, and a chicken + pesto. All this, along with a bottle of Hoegaarden, came to less than 10 euros! The sandwiches were ready in about 5 minutes, and they were delicious! Especially the ham one, it was tops. I liked the fig chutney as well. Overall, a great quick and filling lunch stop on a tour of Lyon. And if it's a nice day, you can also get your food to go (à emporter) and sit on the grassy lawn outside!

My friend Shannon had the idea to come here and eat some mini sandwiches. She has a lot of good…read moreideas, but even so, this was still one of the best ones ever. I couldn't stop saying "How have I never been here before?!" and "I want to marry this foie gras!" I like everything about gourmix. The little sandwiches are of a reasonable size for a mini sandwich, petite but not wimpy. And they are gooooood. I tried foie gras (which is made in house, btw) and onion confit, and jambon sec with pesto. Shannon was a fan of the bleu cheese. There are so many sandwiches on the list that it would be tough to find something you didn't like (yes, they have some vegetarian options). The prices are also mini - two of the fancier sandwiches still ran me under 5 euros all together. To top it off, they are really nice. Whether you're a little hungry or a lot, Gourmix is the place to go. Can't wait to try more of their homemade foie gras next time... and maybe a speculoos sandwich for dessert. En gros: Oui! Il faut absolument gouter le foie gras. Je suis fan!

Very good sandwiches! My favorite was #32 Rossette de Lyon, beurre, cornichons. Also the dessert of…read morethe day which was fresh cream with strawberries was a yummy after treat. Highly recommended!
