Such a delight to dine at this quaint restaurant in Vieux Lyon! It's full of delicious flavors, personal service, homey atmosphere -- all at an exceptional value. This husband and wife team do it right. And they're so sweet. Recommended by the concierge at our hotel, Cour des Loges (also exceptional!), Les Retrouvailles offers a la carte options but get the fixed price menus of 4 courses with plenty of choices to suit your pallet. For starters, we had house salad with smoked salmon, shrimp and duck foie gras and my boyfriend had au gratin crawfish. Delish. For entree we had scallops and home made fettuccini with a mango sauce - fresh!! And filet with Gorgonzola wine sauce. Cheese course next...
Terrific foods with entrees and plats varied between salads, meats, steak and seafood...Very fair prices...nice 4 course prix fixe for 2 and carafe of wine for under 80 euros...we also got Suze...the French apertif wine...dinner came with an amuse bouche...served by warm lovely woman owner...and I think her husband ran the open kitchen...classic French...very warm service...much better than the more commercial bouchons brasseries closer to the river...went twice...everything delicious...
Looks like a bouchon at first glance, but is in fact a 'regular' restaurant. I am limited to restaurant menu French, but we were made very welcome by the owners chef, as usual at such Lyon restaurants. Really excellent food of an unpretentious sort, including standards...from Lyon and France in general. A wide range of desserts laid out on a central table. Not expensive. On our list to return to on our next visit.
This restaurant is full of character and warmth, run by only a husband and wife team with a single helper. They are clearly very experienced and work well together and provide a personal service and great atmosphere.The food is good, with fresh ingredients and home made deserts.Only 12 tables,and busy, so book in advance if possible to avoid disappointment. When I asked the hotel to book it they said "good choice"

I am so sad to say that I had such high hopes, but the need we ordered was literally swimming in a pool of oil and “rare” in France is raw. Good to know : . While they did cook it more for us, my husband...was sick the entire next day and could not leave the hotel room. Completely ruining one of our only three days in the beautiful Lyon.
Great find - do not miss this place if you are in Lyon for a few days. The food was terrific with good options and multiple menus. Generous portions. Excellent value for money. Outstanding service. A cute mom and and pop place. Such nice people.
again a very good surprise, a very special restaurant typical of lyon, I really recommend it if you want to taste a real French food French w
Warm genuine welcome. Beautiful detail to food and service. Food and wine of excellent quality. A must for a perfect night in Lyon
