I will be in Lyon, France in early June. I am looking for a Bouchon suggestion and we are staying in the 2nd arrondissement. Not too far from Place Belecour. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sadly, we were disappointed with dining in Lyon - even at a well-rated Michelin Bib recommended restaurant, as well as what seemed to be a classic Bouchon.
Our favorite dining experiences were
- lunch at Les Halles Paul Bocuse where you will find many great offerings, just follow your noses, your eyes and the looks of dishes and satisfied diners.
- A pretty casual restaurant with outdoor, lunchtime diners enjoying great looking galettes (crepes), where we lunched and later returned for dinner because we saw some diners at lunch enjoying beautiful looking mussels.
I was surprised that we did better following our noses and our eyes, rather than reviews, in light of Lyon’s reputation as a gastronomic paradise.

We had a delicious dinner at Bouchon Thomas, which is easily walkable from the area you are staying in.
