Chabert et Fils

We had a great experience here with the ambiance, food and service. We went for the frog legs and scalloped potatoes and they did not disappoint. The frog legs sautéed with fresh garlic and parsley doesn't get much better along with delicious potatoes au grain. Historic Chabert et Fils Lyonnais restaurant

Walked in on a weekend dinner and was glad to find that seating is available. Multiple table for different group of people. Food is enjoy and tasty. The place is full of people and has a lot of history given the different currencies plastered on their wall. Food served hot and fast and staff can speak simple English. Not to be missed when in Lyon

The food was good. When you like pork, the place is right for you. The restaurant is nicely decorated.

BEST traditionnel Lyonnais cuisine in the world. The menu offers a variety of classic dishes from Lyon. Everything we ordered was exquisite. The Gratin, and the chicken were the best I’ve ever had. The crème brûlée was also very special. Service was slow but friendly. They were clearly short staffed during lunchtime. Everything was served hot out of the kitchen though. Unfortunately, we were only in Lyon for one night, but I will make it a point to return here!!

Traditional Lyonnaise food is served, in nicely decorated rooms. I liked the food very much - had a degustation menu with 3 courses. A bit expensive, but I do not regret the money. The waitress could have been more pleasant; but she was obviously very busy.

We visited Lyon for a business trip with a coworker and were recommended this street for some excellent dinners. We wanted to try some more local French style food after visiting the meat restaurant owned by the same family across the street. We chose the menu "Menu D'Emilie" for 30.90€ / person, and we were a bit dissapointed in what we got. I chose for my set: Starter: "Gnafron" - Chitterlings veal sausage's and cabbage's cake with Garlic Sauce Main: "Bavette d'aloyau de beuf á la pointe dáil, pailasson de pommes de terre" - Flank steak with some potato mash Dessert: Crème Brûlée For the wine we chose a 25ish euro bottle of Côtes du Rhône, Les Abeilles de Colombo Rouge from 2021. The starter was quite bland without any garlic to be noticed. Luckily the bread was the same as the restaurant across the streat from the day before, i.e. to die for, I could then at least enjoy the sauce even if the cake was pretty much not worth mentioning. For the main course I took a flank steak, and since sauces are something the French usually do well, I expected that the garlic butter would be rather tasty. It was not, and again the flavour was just not there. The steak was well cooked though, so overall not a bad choice. For the dessert I took a traditional Crème Brûlée, which was burned from the top and cold in the middle. Overall, I would maybe not recommend this one, rather the restaurant from the same family accross the street.

Traditional Lyonnaise home cooking, if I understood the menu, in a very traditional, old fashioned, cozy and warm setting. The dishes give some surprises if you are used to relatively median restaurant food, but all is prepared with skill so take the chance of trying something else. The greatest phraise I want to give, however, to the members of the family serving and taking lovely care of us throughout our dinner.

Super tasty, very nice place with puppet dolls in the window. Local food👌👌 you won't regret it!

We were just strolling about Lyons and decided on this place as it had croque monsieur on the menu. It was actually an appetizer, and as such, was not as thick and dense if it were the main entree. We sat outside in the bustling sidewalk. I believe lunch started at noon and ended at 2pm. We got in with some time to spare! I got the entrecôte with pommes de terre... oh my goodness! It was truly delectable. The steak was tasty, especially with all that butter sauce lopped on top of it. I used a piece of bread to sop it all up. Hopefully my gout doesn't flare up ‍ The plat du jour came with a dessert of lemon mouse. It was good--but wished it were ice cream since it was a pretty warm and sunny day. We also got a carafe of rose to share. All in all, everything was about 50 euros! That is pretty darn good as the same in the States could easily be double.

Restaurant is located on a pretty busy touristy street with a ton of restaurants, but we picked this one since we wanted to check out traditional Lyonnais cuisine. We both chose from the prix fixe menu. For my meal, I chose the Menu d'Emile (27 Euros) which is a great deal for the amount of food I was given. For the starter, I had the Salad Lyonnais and for my main I had the Quenelles. Both were pretty good but way way too salty and I love salt! The salad was also as big as an entree so by the time I got to my main course, I could only eat about half. My husband had a fish type terrine that was too fishy for me and the Chabert plate which included a bunch of blood sausages for his main. The cheese course reminded me of tzatziki. By the time we got to the dessert, we had to share and didn't finish of course. Next time I would prob. skip the prix fixe given the portions sizes and just pick an entree.

We arrived in Lyon shortly before lunch and after dropping our luggage off at the hotel we decided to explore the vicinity for a place to eat. By chance we came across the "Rue des Marronniers" (which means "Chestnut Street"), a short pedestrian street filled with restaurants left and right. We walked up and down and finally decided on "Chabert & Fils", a certified bouchon serving traditional food from Lyon. Currently about 17 bouchons are certified and display the sign "Les Bouchons Lyonnais" on the outside of their establishment. This restaurant also sported a Yelp sticker. It was one minute before noon when we entered the bouchon. We didn't realize they opened at noon and the staff was just finishing up their meal. But they let us come inside anyways and we were led to the back room. After waiting for 10 minutes we finally got the menu. From then on the service was friendly and quick even as the tables around us began to fill up with groups of people. They were all French speaking, which we interpreted as a good sign, although we couldn't tell whether they were locals. You can choose between single dishes or a 3 to 4-course menu starting at €19.70. The menu is written in French and English. However, if you're not familiar with the terminology of meats coming from "unusual" parts of the body, you may have difficulty choosing what to eat. Since we didn't know how rich and filling the food would be, we decided to go for single dishes and tried the "saucisson chaud pistaché, cervelle de canut et pommes vapeur" (pork sausage with pistachios, a yoghurt-like dip with herbs and garlic and steamed potatoes) for €16.40 and the "L'andburger à la Lyonnaise", a type of burger made with chitterlings sausage, lard chips, St. Marcellin cheese and mustard sauce for €17.80. We also shared 250ml of a regional red wine, "Coteaux du Lyonnais" for €6.80. Once we ordered drinks we were served a small dish of sliced salami and lard chips. The salami was good, the lard chips, as the name suggests, really greasy! The food arrived quickly and we really enjoyed it. The wine matched the food wonderfully. Since the tables were close together, as is typical for a bouchon, we could see the food the other guests ordered and had fun guessing which menu item it was. Most of the tables went for a 3-course menu. We couldn't resist dessert and decided on the house specialty "Le Guignol" (named after the main character in a puppet show), which is made of sponge cake and caramelized custard, and a slice of "tarte aux pralines roses" (red almond praline tart), a Lyonnaise specialty, each priced at €6.60. We loved the "Le Guignol", but the praline tart wasn't quite to our liking, partly because it didn't have a strong flavor and partly because the tart crust tasted a little old. One major tip: don't use the restroom at this restaurant. I wanted to wash my hands before eating and only came across this door right off the main hallway that had a single toilet behind it but no sink in sight! Where are you supposed to wash your hands? I went for hand sanitizer instead.

Very Lyonnais From the minute you step in until you get a big bite of intestines and innards you know this is a very Lyonnais bouchon type place. We came here on a winter day and enjoyed a moderately priced dinner menu. The waiters are open to answer any questions about the product and in all it feels like eating at the home of Grandma. It's a nice place to come in the winter especially as the heat from the kitchen warms up the whole place. Some typical dishes are: salade lyonnais, andouilette, beef tongue and other delicious specials. The desserts are to die for. I'd recommend, especially amongst friends or family.

Too close for comfort This well-known Lyon bistro has jolly decor, with knick-knacks, posters, plaster figures and currency notes around the walls. But that's where the pleasure ended. We were placed in the first of several eating spaces, with the tables so close together that you really had to mind your elbows. The place was filling up fast and the service quickly became grumpy and harrassed, especially when they started having to turn people away. They got my drinks order wrong and then suggested it was my fault. The salad had some of the limpest lettuce I've seen in a long time and it was swimming in vinaigrette. I was given three fillets of ray and one of them still had traces of blood on it; needless to say, I did not eat it. This was one of the least enjoyable meals in a long time.
