Not many spots rival the atmosphere of La Meuniere, where kitchen utensils and paintings fill the walls, wooden tables are set with red gingham napkins, floral antique plates and a chalkboard is covered in the dishes of the day. The vibe is impeccable, and the food just as extraordinary. 

Ten taps, all the same price. Vivants is the spot for beer lovers. With a buzzing atmosphere as soon as the doors open this is the perfect casual place for a drink or two. If beer isn't for you, don't fret for Vivants is as passionate about natural vino as the rest of us. 

Offering a traditional, la forumule, Chez Georges is, like many spots in Lyon, your extraordinary, cosy spot for a three course feast. Start with Georges' terrine, try the "Maison Fanton" hot sausage, but if there's one thing you must do: order the special authentique crème caramel. Thank us later!

It's the views that make the Villa Florentine so exceptional. What was a former convent is now a luxurious boutique hotel, nestled in the centre of Vieux Lyon. Nothing beats a morning swim in the rooftop pool before dining in the exceptional Michelin star restaurant.
