"Not far from the train station, Gare Saint-Paul, this little bistro is buzzing. This is not a place for white tablecloths or pompous service; rather a lively atmosphere, simple, trendy decor, a stylish waitress juggling tables in time to the beat of a well-chosen playlist, and a tiny open kitchen. At the helm is Sarah Hamza, chef and owner. Her cooking is fresh, generous and contemporary, with that unique quality that comes from her Algerian roots. This heritage also inspires her clever twists to dishes such as trout with smoked butter lentil stew, blood orange and harissa-glazed carrots. The menu is short, the dishes on the blackboard change often, and the ingredients speak for themselves." - Michelin Inspector

Everyone was super kind and the food was amazing. I reckon the tapioca cheese is their version of a Brazilian appetiser (tapioca dices) and it reminded me of home, it was so delicious and definitely the star of the night. I strongly recommend getting reservations as I tried to go before without one but they didn’t have any tables available.

Excellent service but Soma’s food is not its equal. Limited choices. The tapioca starter stole the show. But it was downhill after that. The beef was poor quality and unattractively plated. The wine list poor. And the chocolate mousse was garnished with green peas. Yes. Peas. Needs to pick up its game. Very surprised at the high ratings in a culinary-savvy town.

We had an absolutely delicious meal at Soma! As soon as we walked in we felt like we were welcomed into a warm and friendly home. The food was exceptional and The waitress was so lovely. This restaurant was very accomodating for gluten free options on the rotating menu for my coeliac disease.

We visited Soma on our first evening of our weekend in Lyon. A lovely cosy little restaurant tucked away in st.paul. the atmo was very pleasant, and it was very cool to be able to see Into the kitchen at the chefs working their culinary wizardry. The food was outstanding, I had the tapioca and cheese starter, followed by the the beef pastry main and the chocolate mousse for dessert. All the food was exceptional, and the hostess was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend booking a table to go here when you're in Lyon.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal in this tiny gem of a restaurant. We opted for the 21:15 seating. Our server was friendly and helpful, the food courses were inventive and delicious, and the overall ambiance was welcoming and fun. We would happily come here again the next time we're in Lyon.
