A stomping ground for cocktail connoisseurs and for those who just want to have a jolly, good evening. Sip on those experimental mixes and chances are you'll want to order another. 

Founded in 1921 by Eugénie Brazier a trip to La Mère Brazier is nothing short of exceptional. With a menu that changes by season, aside from the regular feature of a signature lobster stew, expect some of the finest Lyonnaise food. To top it all off is the interior: dine under the 1930s stained glass windows and marvel at the Saarinen Tulip chairs. 

With a few spots dotted around the city, as well as one in the legendary Halles de Lyon, this is the place for the tastiest charcuterie. Perfect for that picnic lunch!

For your cheese board of dreams look no further than Fromagerie La Mere Richard. Try the classic Saint Marcellin and Saint Félician, as well as some of the local specialities such as the pure goat's cheese Rigotte de Condrieu.
