Lyon | A Modern Twist on the Traditional Bouchon

Tucked away on a quiet cobblestone street in the heart of Lyon’s 5th arrondissement, Bouchon Rouge stands out with its bold, eye-catching signature color. Designed by a renowned architect, the ground floor boasts a sleek, contemporary interior—think clean lines, warm lighting, and a fresh take on classic bouchon coziness.💕 As I snapped photos, a staff member smiled and asked, “Want to see the basement?” Intrigued, I followed—and discovered a hidden gem: a downstairs room styled like an old library, with wooden shelves, vintage decor, and a timeless charm that feels worlds away from the modern upstairs. It’s a delightful contrast, blending new and old in a way that feels uniquely Lyon.💕 The restaurant is helmed by Monsieur Arbore, a seasoned restaurateur with over a decade of experience. His focus? Elevating Lyon’s traditional dishes with high-quality meats and an impressive wine list. Fun fact: He also owns a bar ranked among the world’s top 100—proof of his knack for crafting memorable dining experiences. Bouchon Rouge caters to all, with English menus and a range of options: Menu Bouchon: A nod to Lyon’s classics, with 2 courses for €18.90 (add dessert or cheese for €4 extra). Menu Rouge: Their signature selection, featuring standout dishes—2 courses for €26.90 (add dessert or cheese for €3 extra).😊 Menu Végétarien: A 3-course vegetarian menu for €22.90, perfect for plant-based diners. Kids’ Menu: A (adorable) option at €13.50, ensuring little ones are well-fed too. A la carte is also available for those who prefer to mix and match.😍 This spot isn’t just about food—it’s about reimagining Lyon’s bouchon heritage for today. It honors tradition while feeling fresh, making it a must-visit for anyone eager to taste the city’s culinary soul with a modern twist.
