La Panse

Excellent traditional French bistro popular with locals and well worth booking

Address 7 rue de la Paix

A classic French bistro in the old town that has been earning loyal regulars for decades. The menu changes with the seasons and focuses on market cooking — good cuts of meat, fresh fish, and proper Lyonnaise-influenced sauces. The wine list is strong on Rhône and Savoie. It is the kind of place that rewards booking in advance: small, popular, and not trying to be fashionable.
