Les Marmottes

Unfortunately we spotted a mouse in the restaurant which was disgusting. When we told the staff, their response to this was very rude and defensive, saying that they knew about it and there was nothing they could do - we should not be paying to eat with mice. They even made a remark about the country that we were from. Also there are tastier fondues in Lyon, but the setting is cute.

very good place if you’re missing mountains vibe, raclette, and fondu. stuff is amazing, the food big enough to have one plate per person. and raclette is even available for many times to get it.

(As a disclaimer, I am not French) I had previously tried raclette at the place of some friends, this was our first raclette in a restaurant. The experience itself was amazing, we loved the big cheese with the raclette (see picture). The restaurant had a very nice decoration, it looked like a cabin in the woods. The flavor was perfect for us, the potatoes had a delicious seasoning and the hot cheese completed the experience. The charcuterie and salad were an excellent side dish. One small issue is that the tables were very close together, and standing up to get more cheese was a bit complicated without getting unnoticed by the table next to us. Price wise it is a bit expensive in my opinion. Expect to spend at least 30€ per person for the raclette and a drink (as of January 2023). Overall, I would come back again.

The place is very cozy, the fondue was really good but the bread wasn't tasty.

honestly don’t know how the review is so low, went there yesterday on a chance for the fondue and it was amazing, super well served and delicious, sadly couldn’t even finish the portion, also, the service was really really nice, would definitely recommend!

A great smell of auhentic cheese entices you to come in, all the way from out the restaurant, twenty feet from the door. You're greeted with nothing but smiles and care, and the place makes you wanna host a Christmas party with all your friends and family and pull an all-nighter, right there. The cheese fondue is exquisite, absolutely original and is a perfect match for the friendly and cozy mood of the restaurant. Again, generous and attentive waiters. I highly recommend.

Everything was absolutely perfect. Food was amazing and service very nice!

Perfect place to experience the wordly famous Raclette. From outside, your taste buds will already feel the aroma!! Bon Appétit!

There's only one way to correctly experience the deliciousness that Les Marmottes has to offer and that is to order the group menu. It's a five-course meal served family style: salad with duck, tartiflette, fondue, raclette, and dessert. If you're a vegetarian, don't fret - there were two of us in my party and they made us a green salad to substitute for the first course and a vegetarian tartiflette for the second! It was delicious - every bit of it. I've been to a few other fondue restaurants in Lyon but this place has the best cheese and the most delicious potatoes I've ever eaten. For dessert, I recommend the ice cream. Every flavor is fantastic! You should definitely call ahead, especially if you have a group. Les Marmottes is kind of small so it's hard to get a table without a reservation. That being said, last night we called around 22H30 and they were able to accommodate us at 23H30. We had fifteen people in our group. The waitresses were extremely friendly and helpful, (they always are,) and made our experience a positive one. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a serious cheese-covered meal in Lyon.
