"This tiny restaurant sports a trendy interior. Only open in the evening, it is run by a delightful couple and serves fusion cuisine that straddles South America and France. The Venezuelan chef, who trained at the Paul Bocuse Institute, whips up flavoursome dishes rich in surprise and colour: croquetas of prawns, vegetarian patacon, dulce de leche and corn cake. Mainly Chilean and Argentinean wines. Cheerful service and a casual vibe." - Michelin Inspector

Canaima a pleasant, welcoming and delicious restaurant. We made a reservation prior that needed to be pushed back, and was easily accommodated. Upon arrival we were greeted congeniality by the host/server and seated immediately. We were offered a diverse set of wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages. The prix fixe menu was simple but diverse and provided enough variety for my partner to enjoy. Highly recommended.

We had an incredible experience here! The cozy atmosphere. The staff were super helpful and attentive even the chef himself visited our table couple of times with jokes adding a personal touch to the already great service. The cocktails were absolutely amazing complex and flavorful in every sip. The food was equally impressive, with good-quality ingredients and good portion sizes. Every dish was flavorfull for it’s price and well presented.

We had dinner at Canaima and it was enjoyable. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance was inviting and cozy. The only reason why I removed one star was because of the very limited selection of the menu. We were there on Saturday and for the set menu of 42 euros per person, there were only 3 options each for three courses. It felt a bit limited and the menu was similar to what we've seen at other restaurants in Lyon.

Excellent service and its attention to detail. Great, unique flavors and perfect before a local show. Would have welcomed a bit more ambience in the restaurant (I.e., lighting) although simple and clean. We left very satisfied and felt as though we had a unique experience.

Wow. Fantastic meal in this cosy restaurant. The menu had just been updated. I had prawn croquettes for starter, a fish skewer for main (octopus, prawn, whitefish) and chocolate mousse for dessert. All courses were excellent. Would highly recommend if visiting Lyon.

It was good experience at the restaurant. The plan is cozy. Everyone was friendly. Food was great. We loved pork skewers and shredded beef. My children love the food so much.

A friend from Lyon recommended us this place, the food quality is really good and the owner is very friendly. The only reason I give a 4 star is because we were disappointed by the desert. There are only 3 options of desert and we were looking for something fancy level to match the foods
