The Editor

Stepping through the doorway of Garet, you’re instantly transported to a bygone era. The decor, with its old-fashioned tiles and red moleskin banquettes, evokes a past where discretion reigned, and every corner of the room could host secret meetings. This very charm has contributed to the fame of this iconic Lyonnais bouchon, which has been welcoming guests since 1920. It’s in this spot at 7 rue du Garet in Lyon 1st where the famous resistance fighter Jean Moulin would often secretly meet his secretary Daniel Cordier. It was here that he found most of his contacts and chose to establish his command post at the beginning of 1942.

Lyonnaise cuisine stands strong

Even today, a commemorative plaque marks the exact spot that Jean Moulin occupied, to the right upon entering, with his back to the wall, just as he liked it to keep an eye on comings and goings with total discretion. But Le Garet is also, and above all, a delight for the taste buds! Chef Emmanuel Ferra keeps the Lyonnaise culinary tradition alive through six iconic dishes: the 'tablier de sapeur', andouillette with string, white wine and mustard, the Lyonnaise pike quenelle, meunière brain, shallot flank steak, and ravigote veal head. And if you're coming in a group, get ready for an unprecedented sharing experience with the enormous Lyonnaise salad bowl, a symbol of the generosity of Garet's cuisine, where everyone can serve themselves as they please.

But don’t think that Le Garet only exists in the past. Every day, new suggestions refresh the menu, offering both regulars and newcomers bold culinary discoveries. You'll find a salad of magical pork snout and coco beans, or an authentic sabodet made with pork tongue and cheeks. And to top it all off, the wine list is a perfect reflection of the place: a wonderful balance between tradition and originality, with a selection that will delight both traditional wine lovers and natural wine explorers.
