La Gratinée — Restaurant in Lyon

You won't really eat the very best steak of your life here.

But here's the catch: It's going to be the best steak you have eaten at 4 AM.

They do a few different cuts of steak. And fries. With plenty of delicious French sauce and a bottle of wine.

A couple of vegetarian (cheesy) options are also available. All at very reasonable prices, particularly taking into account this place only opens when everywhere else is closing (11 pm)

Intimate setting, genuine service. Perfect to come with friends after a night out (seating is limited though) or as a couple visiting if you arrived really late to the city and really don't feel like pizza and kebab. The place is technically a restaurant cooperative, so you need to ring the bell and ask to become a member to eat there. And you'll leave with a shiny card to prove it.

So not the best entrecôte of my life. But I sure will be back anytime I need a late night real meal in Lyon. I only wish more cities had genuine fun late night...

I went my first time from one year and it was amazing, the steaks were perfect and the service as well as the tarts, but this time I went on my birthday last month, and my steak was not properly cooked, the tarts were to die for and the service was as usual, nothing special because my birthday, but they gave us the tarts for free because of the steak, will definitely come again, hopefully when the new cooks...

Vous ne vous êtes pas encore perdu parmi les petites rues du 1er ? À pied, vous découvrez des étapes. 5 ⭐️ pour l’accueil, le partage, la décontraction, après avoir passer l’étape de la porte et celle de la carte de membre et d’autres restrictions à l’entrée, restaurant associatif dans un quartier épicé, parfois très épicé. 4 ⭐️ car cela propose une nourriture simple, familiale, faite avec soin ; 3 ⭐️ pour le service, puisque c’est retenu, discret, sans trop en faire mais à l’écoute. C’est la nuit, quelqu’un qui t’accueille à c’t’heure, c’est une potentialité de bonheur. Et se nourrir dans l’obscurité environnante est un luxe appréciable. Enfin, mon amitié avec l’équipe limite les libertés qui pourraient être les miennes, ayant un humour...
