French people are complainers, pretentious, unfaithful, inconstant… As many clichés, sometimes motivated, which would say that Café Français does not always ensure a smiling service, does not always offer an excellent value for money and a cuisine that does not always meet our required criterion. And yet, Café Français certainly deserves more praises than critics. First, there is the campsite. Located on the quiet Place Poncet, within walking distance from Bellecour and every Lyon sites, Café Français is part of the must-gp for tourists and Lyon residents. The large terrace is a bargain, especially as it is completed by a veranda heated in winter and air conditioned in summer. The indoor rooms are beautiful and the cellar is a real paradise for wine lovers, especially from the region with beautiful bottles and grand crus, or spirits. Menu of tapas to nibble with a glass of good wine. As for the cuisine, the salads are always the stars on the summer menu, including a Salade du Sud-Ouest with homemade foie gras and marinated duck breasts. Of course, the house offers its Café Français burger and its Louchebem burger. Traditional pike quenelles, velvet crab cream, the casseroles of mussels or marinated salmon tartare. Cheeses from Mère Richard, caramel cream, coffee tiramisu, pancakes and waffles to finish in delicacies. In the end, a good address in the heart of Lyon.

La foule y est bien évidemment présente, vu son emplacement. C’est donc un lieu agréable pour boire un verre mais le repas et le service n’ont pas fait plus que l’affaire.
