For the tarte au citron one could only dream about, head straight to Duclef. Ran by Auriane Leclef and Mazime Dubois, both former pastry chefs, this spot is a must for a sweet treat, or savoury, simple lunch. 

Oysters to begin, followed by some of the most delectable dishes where vegetables take centre stage, Monsieur P is a culinary dream. Located on the iconic Place des Célestines, sit on the terrace and languish over a lengthy lunch. Perfection!

As the largest pedestrian square in Europe and quite literally the epicentre of Lyon, there is no doubt that you will come across this spot at least once whilst on your adventures. Gaze up at François-Frédéric Lemot's statue of Louis XIV, do a spot of shopping and decide which of the four main streets to amble along next.
