Le Desjeuneur

I visited this café a few times and was never disappointed. Everything is really tasty, but the croque truffe is just outstanding for me - definitely a must-try! Great atmosphere and friendly service as well. Highly recommend!

Probably the best place in Lyon to eat breakfast! All was very good! Place is nice and clean. Definitely recommend this place!

Very nice brunch menu with tasty granola, we had Pancake stack and croque truffé, the croque was amazing

We walked all the way from the train station and it was 100% worth the climb. If these sandwiches were ‘n children I would have adopted them both and took them home and raised them as my own. The food, service and atmosphere is phenomenal. Great view of Lyon if you’re sitting outside. Prices are also better compared to most of the city. Got potatoes with my sandwich? What a bonus!

Food was so tasty and service once you’re seated was really good. We did the brunch menu for each person and it was the perfect amount of food to get our day started! We did have to wait an hour in an online queue that you sign up for once you get there so get there early! Definitely recommend

This is one of our favorite spots for brunch—every time we go to Lyon, it’s a must. The food is truly authentic, prepared with so much love and care in every dish. Everything feels fresh, organic, and full of amazing flavor. The manager is very friendly and always makes you feel welcome. Just a heads-up—it’s a popular place, so it’s a good idea to arrive early to get a spot!

Delightful brunch experience! We enjoyed a hot drink of our choice (the espresso) and a refreshing glass of local juice. The basket of fresh bread with jam and salted butter was a perfect start, followed by indulgent pancakes topped with fried bacon, free-range fried eggs, and served with salted butter and organic maple syrup on the side. The ambiance provided great vibes for a memorable meal.

A fantastic spot for breakfast—highly recommended! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious. I liked it so much I came back the next day. Cozy atmosphere and great coffee too!

We walked past Le Desjeuneur several times and it was always full so we decided to stop in. They have breakfast & brunch options all day, but after 12:00 they have lunch options as well. It was a really hot day and all the tables outside were full so we sat inside. They had multiple big fans as well as bringing us a personal table fan (nice surprise!). Everyone we interacted with was really nice. Our French was minimal, but our server spoke great English. I got the daily special/plate of the day. To start with, it was a watermelon salad with ricotta cheese, toasted pine nuts, and balsamic. It was SO good and absolutely perfect for the hot day. My main dish was fish with a fresh salsa, pureed carrots (great flavor!!) and broccoli. All of it was amazing and something I would definitely order again!!

Very reasonable price for a good brunch. The wait staff are kind and quick. Tight space, but that's expected

This place has such a great ambiance. It was cozy and bustling at the same time. Servers were extremely friendly and did not mind speaking English or speaking French slowly to foreigners. The food was cooked and plated nicely. Food prices were reasonable.

C'est parfait!! This was a great spot for a quick lunch or breakfast. Their Croque Monsieur was perfection. Melty yumminess. Comfort food at its finest! I enjoyed a cappuccino and chocolate cake. I highly recommend the trip to this cafe! Many of the servers and the owner speak English

Had breakfast slash brunch here on two occasions. Great staff, very helpful. Fast service in spite of busy hours. Portions are large and well presented. Recommended!

Breakfast All Day, I know, right? I went to this place for lunch where I had the avocado salad that was so good I was stunned. My son loved his croque monsieur. Then I took my family there for the brunch one Sunday. I recommend trying to get in either just before the lunch rush or just after, around 1:45, when tables are clearing to avoid a wait. The very welcoming staff is busy, for the great reason that the food and atmosphere here is unpretentious, simple, but very well thought out and delicious above all else. Warning, brunch is copious! Pancakes, slabs of smoked streaky bacon, sunny side up eggs, jams, honey salted butter and various breads, yogurt with granola and fresh berries, orange juice and hot beverage of choice from the menu (I chose flat white). This place hits the spot in many ways.
