Café Terroir Lyon

We had a beautiful dinner at this charming, very well run restaurant. The two amuse buche to start were the perfect introduction of what was to come. Mum chose the best meal, the sweetbread vol au vent. Insanely delicious. But all of our meals were lovely and the service and presentation were perfect. The wine list is so impressive.

Amazing destination when in Lyon. This is a a restaurant with heart and offers great food, drinks, service and atmosphere. Our server took his time to go through the menu and the wine we were drinking. We also got a detailed story about the background and production of Chartreuse which was very interesting. Will be coming back!

Exceptional food, service, and atmosphere. A simply fantastic lunch. So we went back. And sometimes you worry you can’t or shouldn’t, but it may have even been better the second time. This spot is a can’t-miss in Lyon.

The finest meal I’ve ever had. The chefs, servers, et cetera went above and beyond to create a luxurious and delicious dinner.

Our server, Bastian, went over and above board by helping me get my lost luggage. The airline had lost it and for three full days I was without essential items besides clean clothes. We were at the restaurant when the call came that delivery would be made in 10 minutes to our Airbnb. We were 20 minutes away and the driver didn’t want to let it inside w/o one of us there to sign for it. Nor did he want to deliver it to the restaurant. Bastian was able to convince him to leave it inside the foyer. We don’t speak French and the driver didn’t understand English very well. Without his help I would still be without the suitcase. So thank you so much for your kindness. The food was excellent and the other servers were top form. It was only the second time I had escargot and the first time was 34 years ago We had a great time.

Great food, every course, wonderful atmosphere and staff. The wine list is something to behold and the sommelier was extremely knowledgable and magnetic with his enthusiasm. Please list a hermitage next time! Thank you so much for noting my birthday too!!

Best Bresse chicken ever! Perfect experience, nice "jus" with mushrooms and white wine. Must try when in Lyon.

Good food, escargot is great. However portions for main dishes are rather small for the price. Service is rather lackluster except for the single girl working. Very long waits to even place orders, multiple times. Then long food wait itself. 2.5 hour total for a simple appetizer/entree/dessert

We stayed the night in Lyon, driving from Paris to St. Tropez. We were lucky enough to find Cafe Terroir on the Michelin Guide website and made the reservation before our trip. Our experience here was wonderful. The restaurant is small and the decor is rustic and on the darker side. We were sat at a wooden table in the center of the restaurant. It felt totally appropriate for the overall vibe of Lyon. On communication, my partner and the kiddo both speak French, but I do not. This confused a lot of folks on our trip, as they don't expect to see the blank look on my face when they speak to me in French, after having just interacted with a native speaker. While most of the staff spoke with my partner in French so that I didn't understand what was happening or being conveyed, one staff member spoke to me in English, which I really appreciated because it made me feel less left out of the dining experience. It felt like a true act of kindness. To be clear, I don't go to restaurants in a foreign country and ding them if they don't speak any English there. I just wanted to note that it meant something to me that one of the servers noted our situation and made the effort to make me feel comfortable. Overall, the service was excellent and attentive as you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Okay-onto the food. Oh the food! We started out with the soft boiled egg with cheese and bread and escargot. The escargot was very good. The kiddo ordered the soft boiled egg, said it was "so good," and sadly refused to share any of it with us. Needless to say, this is probably something you want to order. My partner and the kiddo shared the steak for two. Fortunately, they shared this one with me. This dish really was the star of the show. The steak had a depth of flavor I have not experienced before. Truly. There was something very special about this steak. I had the salmon dish, with a butter sauce and a stuffed squash blossom. This dish was perfectly cooked and flavorful, but the steak was so good it overshadowed what was otherwise an excellent dish. We ordered coffee after dinner and the ice cream. Oh wow. Order the ice cream for dessert. Do not miss this dish! The dish comes with dollops of a variety of ice cream flavors -the chef's choice. There was vanilla, and coffee flavor and a speculoos like flavor, among a number of others. They were so good-if I didn't have to avoid dairy, I would have ordered it myself. You cannot go wrong dining here when in Lyon. I'd absolutely come back for a visit.

You need to make reservations! We came here for lunch and service is good. They have English speaking staff and everything is delicious! First time I think fish is cooked better in France than in China. Most of the time fish is either too dry or under cook, but this space is just prefect. Quiches is better than any bakery we went. Love this little cafe.

Excellent food and service and a good wine selection. When in Lyon a must place to enjoy good food with friends.

A hip and pretty place with a delicate cuisine in a casual setting. The staff is fun, their wine recommendations spot on.

Incredible! From the service to the cuisine, an amazing experience. Great wine. Thank you Cafe Terroir for being patient with poor French. I will be back!

We loved it so much we went back for a second meals during our one week stay in Lyon. Excellent fresh cuisine and a comprehensive wine list. They are super helpful and will steer you away from wines you might not like.

Located at a quiet corner. Nice to sit outside. Great food. Pork cheek was very tasty and chocolate moose was fantastic. Local beer. Definitely worth coming back.

A modern and trendy interior design with authentic local food. I cannot recommend enough this place, if you are visiting Lyon and want to taste regional specialties you got to stop here. I had backed Crozets (some kind of pasta) that was amazing and they recommended a pairing white wine that was a great match. I took a couple pictures before they closed so it looks empty, but you may wait to make a reservation as it seems to get popular.

Thanks fellow Yelpers. This place doesn't disappoint! We had a steak and the escargot in the shell, which was delicious. The cooking style is a nice departure if you need a break from the traditional Bouchons. The ingredients were local and fresh. All in a tastefully decorated environment.

A delightful find while out for an evening stroll. We both started with the escargot in the shell followed by the duck in mashed. A different but delightful take on shepherds pie. Both were excellent. We took the waiter's recommendation on the wine that was a great compliment to the meal. Cute out of the way stop in Lyon.
