Gault&Millau's review 2026

Now that's a corker! Not in the most touristy corner of town, the Poêlon d'Or nevertheless shows signs of nobility in this field, through its longevity, its setting, and one might say its style, outdated rather than old-fashioned, and terribly authentic. The unchanging menu shows choice and personality: oeufs meurette with red wine sauce, lardons and mushrooms, cervelle de canut with smoked duck breast, andouillette with mustard sauce and a creamy gratin, and homemade pike quenelle with crayfish sauce, which takes 40 minutes to prepare. A Lyonnais menu at €34.
