Chez Mounier
This restaurant seems tiny from the street, but there is plenty of room inside.

Locals and tourists alike love Chez Mounier for its unpretentious atmosphere and cheap food. Open Monday to Saturday, 9am-6pm.

Brasserie Georges
The oldest brasserie in Lyon, La Georges has been serving Lyonnais delicacies since 1836. Since then it has hosted notable celebrities like Edith Piaf, Jean-Paul Sartre, Ernest Hemingway, and the Dalai Lama. The restaurant also brews its own beer. Its location can appear a bit seedy, but the large dining area means you can usually get a table without reservation unless dining at peak hours on the weekend. The restaurant is entirely no smoking. Open weekdays 11:30am-11:15pm, and Fridays and Saturdays 11:30am-12:15am.
