Nested on a narrow backstreet in the heart of Lyon’s old town sits Notre Maison. It is classically French, with historic touches that give it an air of nobility and weathered class. The name translates into English as ‘Our House’ and this theme seems to run throughout your experience eating at this restaurant. The place is unpretentious and unassuming, wooden tables and worn décor, with friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere.

And the food is equally homely, with an array of hearty meat dishes and solid sized portions that will satisfy even the hungriest of diners. It doesn’t have much in the way of choice for vegetarians, though it does offer a select few fish dishes. The menu does clearly state: “Salad is for rabbits” – so it’s not entirely surprising, though.

But if you are an esteemed carnivore, this is most certainly the place to come and enjoy some of the finest meat dishes the city has to offer!
