Forget traditional food guides and expert rankings. This time, it's thousands of customers who have spoken! Thanks to Google reviews, we can now identify the most loved restaurants in Lyon based on a simple criterion: the genuine satisfaction of visitors. And the results come with some delightful surprises, featuring Lyon's iconic spots, gourmet tables, and must-visit addresses.

When we want to check out reviews for a restaurant before making a reservation, we often have the same go-to response: Google. For a few years now, this search engine has become the ultimate reference for rating establishments. Ratings, comments, photos, and personal experiences help internet users get a clear picture of a place before even stepping foot inside. In Lyon, tens of thousands of reviews are published every year, providing a true gauge of restaurant popularity.

However, to establish this ranking, it wasn't just about looking at the displayed rating. A restaurant rated 4.9/5 with a few dozen reviews doesn't carry the same weight as an establishment that has impressed thousands of customers. The ranking, established by Lyon Capitale, is based on a weighted scoring system that integrates...is the average rating and the volume of reviews, in order to ensure better statistical reliability.

The ranking: 

  1. Carmelo with a rating of 4.8/5 from 38,164 reviews (which gives a weighted score of 4.796/5)
  2. Maison Moly with a rating of 4.9/5 from 1,226 reviews (which gives a weighted score of 4.783/5)
  3. Regain with a rating of 4.9/5 from 1,203 reviews (which gives a weighted score of 4.781/5)
  4. Agastache with a rating of 4.9/5 from 924 reviews (which gives a weighted score of 4.758/5)
  5. L'Atelier des Augustins with a rating of 4.8/5 from 1,695 reviews (which gives a weighted score of 4.731/5)
  6. ART Restaurant with a rating of 4.8/5 from 1,391 reviews (which gives a weighted score of 4.721/5)
  7. Monsieur P with a rating of 4.8/5 from 1,153 reviews (which gives a weighted score of 4.709/5)
  8. L'Alexandrin with a rating of 4.8/5 from 1,017 reviews (that’s a weighted score of 4.702/5)
  9. Le Boeuf d'Argent with a rating of 4.8/5 from 917 reviews (that’s a weighted score of 4.694/5)
  10. La Mère Brazier with a rating of 4.7/5 from 1,542 reviews (that’s a weighted score of 4.650/5)

Carmelo crushes the competition

With over 38,000 Google reviews, the famous Italian restaurant of the Big Mamma group, Carmelo, stands out as the top-rated address in Lyon. An impressive achievement that reflects both its popularity and its consistency over the years. Scoring 4.8/5 with such a high volume of feedback is almost an exploit in the restaurant world.

Behind them, the competition is much tighter. Maison Moly and Regain round out the podium with an excellent score of 4.9/5, each boasting over 1,200 reviews. These establishments show that it’s possible to combine quality, consistency, and enthusiastic customers.

Gastronomy, bistronomy, and Lyon’s iconic institutions on the scene

The ranking perfectly illustrates the richness of Lyon's culinary scene. You'll find both modern spots and historic houses that have long contributed to the culinary reputation of the gastronomic capital.Among the top-rated establishments are the Atelier des Augustins, ART Restaurant, Monsieur P, l’Alexandrin, Bœuf d’Argent, and the legendary Mère Brazier. These restaurants each have their own unique vibe but share a common goal: to offer an experience so memorable that it brings people back for more!

thousands of positive reviews.
