It would be a mistake to see this restaurant as just yet another good one in Lyon...
The Restaurant de Fourvière is indeed located on a historical spot that Caesar particularly liked, and where he posted many of his legions in order to build the bases of what would become, half a century before our time, the city of Lugdunum.
So when you are comfortably seated here it is much easier to have a more laid back look on things, to enjoy the view and have an interesting conversation! The well known local specialties are numerous on the menu, and the terrace is a show in itself, near the hillside at the same height as the basilica and with a view down on the city of Lyon. It is also a show that is well worth enjoying by night...
This cosy establishment has numerous advantages, and you can for example add a very sympathetic welcome, renewed by a very attentive and dynamic team, an imaginative menu and lovely cuisine to the already mentioned magnificent view. Here the eyes will be satisfied, along with the taste buds of the most demanding guests.
If you come to Fourvière, you will spend a moment in the past and in the present, in a place of good taste, very often booked well in advance.
The ideal gourmet menu is a very good sample of the menu and it will let you enjoy Lyon’s most precious treasure: its cuisine, well known world wide, and in unforgettable settings!
