Le Cassoulet du Pailleron (Lyon 4)
Fancy a typical South-West dish? Le Pailleron, a traditional restaurant located in Croix-Rousse, offers an authentic cassoulet with sausages and duck confit, simmered according to the rules of the art. This generous and convivial dish warms even the coldest hearts. With its Périgord and Lyon specialties, this place, open since 1993, embodies the simplicity and warmth of meals shared with family or friends.

La Raclette d’Altitude (Lyon 3)
For those who dream of a little corner of the mountains in the middle of the city, head to Altitude. This address breaks the codes of the Savoyard restaurant a little with its slightly chic decorated decor but rest assured the melted cheese flows freely. Raclette is served here in a brazier version with quality mountain meats and steamed potatoes.
🏠 200 rue de Créqui, 69003 Lyon
⏰ Open Tuesday to Saturday lunch and dinner
💰 €28 per raclette (minimum 2 people)

The Tartiflette of La Plank des Gones (Lyon 6)
Still in the processed cheese and potatoes category, the tartiflette from La Prank des Gones is a sure bet. This friendly bar offers a relaxed atmosphere where people come as much for the food as for the atmosphere. It’s the ideal place to enjoy a generous and creamy tartiflette in good company, with a glass of wine to complete the experience. It is made with Reblochon AOP, potatoes and French bacon and, if you want to change it up a bit, you can opt for the Morbier version which is a bit more robust in taste.
🏠 35 rue Pierre Corneille, 69006 Lyon
⏰ Open Monday to Friday for lunch and dinner and Saturday evening
💰 €20 per tartiflette
☎️ Reservation: 07 77 79 32 00

The Welsh of Ch’ti Pot Ney
Welsh, an emblematic specialty of the North, is a must for anyone looking for comfort. At Ch’ti Pot Ney, this dish composed of bread, ham and cheddar melted in beer is served hot and golden. The warm setting of this estaminet in the 6th arrondissement makes this place even more welcoming to taste this delicacy with ch’tis accents.
🏠 39 rue Ney, 69006 Lyon
⏰ Open Tuesday to Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Beef Bourguignon from Atelier d’Yvonne
L’Atelier d’Yvonne, a few steps from Place Bellecour, revisits the classics of regional cuisine by adding a little twist to each recipe. It’s impossible not to succumb to its Charolais beef bourguignon with foie gras accompanied by macaroni gratin. A killing! Add to that a good, casual atmosphere worthy of a cork and you will come away as full as you are delighted.
🏠 6 rue des Marronniers 69002 Lyon
