We were here two years ago and couldn't get back in last year- a sign of its popularity. The restaurant is packed and you need to be friendly with your neighbours. The servings are generous. I had a rillette of porc for starters and it was enough for all four of us or as a meal of its own. I... More

Le Garet is something of a self fulfilling prophesy as far as tripadvisor is concerned, most of the Buchons have been doing the same thing for decades so its hard to find any that are truly terrible at doing this style of food.Le Garet is packed all the time, with tourists from France as well as elsewhere due to its...

There are so many restaurants in Lyon claiming to be bouchons so a little research is necessary if you want something as authentic as Le Garet. Booking ahead, as we did, is essential. We visited on a freezing, snowy December day and the 'chaleur' was the perfect antidote for the cold weather we left outside for an outstanding couple of... More

We booked this in advance on the advice of our hotel and were very glad we did! By 7.30pm the locals were flooding in and within minutes there wasn't a spare table and were turning people away throughout the evening. They offer a la carte, specials and a set menu and whilst there are a lot of local dishes the... More

This was one of the best meals I had during my backpacking trip - highly recommended! Plus they have an English menu, which helped.

Casual atmosphere; full of locals rather than tourists; lots of hustle and bustle but very entertaining. Don't be put off by the fact that all parts of the animal(s) are used as the food... More

Small restaurant that was packed with locals on the night we we're there. I started with the Herring fillets with a warm potato and onion salad in oil and vinegar, loved it! I had to try the Cervelle de veau meunière (calves brains) and enjoyed very much. The service was great! The owner was very nice and gave us great... More

Tradition Authentic French Restaurant. Do not go here if you're wanting burger and chips. The food offered is traditional and well cooked. The staff are also very helpful with a good level of English to aid any translations.

We only had one night in Lyon, so we wanted to pick the right restaurant to give us a taste of the area. We had read on tripadvisor, and we decided to choose Le Garet. We told the wonderful guys at Sofitel that we were going there, and they seemed to think it was the best choice we could have... More
