Will be in Lyon during my vegetarian daughter's 15th birthday. I've read about Bouchons, etc and note that Lyonnaise cuisine seems to be more meat-heavy. Any recommendations for a good restaurant that might have vegetarian options for her?

When my daughter was 15, her go to vegetarian meal was fries and a coke at McDonalds.
There are a ton of restaurants. I was a little disappointed with the Bouchons in Lyon. It seems like many tourists come asking for them so a lot of random restaurants have taken to calling themselves Bouchons. I was never able to find the type of traditional Bouchon I had hoped for. I did, however, find a lot of nice restaurants that didn't call themselves Bouchons. I don't think you will have trouble finding vegetarian options but I do find reservations are necessary at better restaurants. I'd ask your lodging for a recommendation right when you arrive, then ask if they'll help you call for a reservation? That's the easiest way to bridge any language barrier you might have calling yourself.
