Le Café De La Préfecture — Restaurant in Lyon

Last weekend, my family and I dined at the Grand Café de la Préfecture in Lyon. Overall, it was a delightful experience with a few minor drawbacks.

The food was outstanding. My salmon was perfectly cooked, and everyone in my family enjoyed their meals immensely. The quality and presentation of the dishes were top-notch, making for a memorable culinary experience.

The terrace provided a lovely setting for our meal. It was beautifully arranged and added to the charm of the evening. Unfortunately, the ambiance was somewhat marred by the noise from the nearby tram, which passes by every five minutes with a loud squeal. Additionally, the busy intersection nearby contributed to the overall noise level.

Service was decent, though our waiter was rather reticent. A bit more warmth and engagement would have elevated the experience further.

In summary, the Grand Café de la Préfecture offers excellent food and a pleasant terrace atmosphere, though the noise from the tram and traffic can be a bit disruptive. Despite these minor issues, it remains a great choice for a family...

Super Sunday brunch! After looking for some of the best Sunday brunches in Lyon, we came here and we weren't disappointed. We love brunches and we have been trying some along our overall culinary experience. We loved all the dishes that they offered (which I'm sorry but I don't remember them 😅), plus you have a great choice of drinks: coffee, teas, hot chocolate (a really good one btw), juices, and (the plus, although we didn't try them) you have wines included in the buffet drinks part. I'd like to say as well that lal the COVID-19 measures were respected and that the staff put in a great effort to make them respect by all the guests. We had a great experience and not just food talking, the staff were smiling a really welcoming. Another things that we really appreciated was the fact that they send us a message 1 or 2 days before just to make sure we were coming, in order for them to know how much food to prepare and to waste the less possible. Great job everyone! We will definitely be back in our future...

Nice brunch, mostly cooked and nice deserts, poor croissants , not so great baguette, good bread with grains or fruits and nuts. Standard tea, not great coffee. The salty stuff is very tasty and you have a lot of choices. Deserts are also plentiful, just not very chocolaty. The hot chocolate was good, though. Surprisingly, sparkling water is not included in the offer. The fruit juices are good, though. In essence, it is more of a lunch buffet, than an offer with standard breakfast options included: no granola,...
