December in Lyon is the time when we dream of as much Christmas magic as we do of ooey-gooey cheese. And that's exactly when La Bascule takes center stage. Located just a stone's throw from the Tête d'Or park, this restaurant offers what makes the whole city drool: unlimited raclette perfected by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, served in natural, smoked, or wild garlic versions. All for just €29.50, a price that seems to defy all the laws of gastronomic gravity. Potatoes, salad, and charcuterie or a vegetarian option complete the feast, always all-you-can-eat. You might even feel like clapping between bites.
A perfect deal for big eaters
La Bascule is a true cold-fighting plan, a surefire hit for both families and groups of friends. Kids love the generosity, teenagers have fun crafting the ultimate cheese pours, and adults enjoy a stress-free evening. Yum!
