Chez les Gones

At the heart of Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, Chez les Gones has been keeping the soul of the Lyon bouchons alive for the past decade or so. In this temple of gastronomy where the city's finest artisans stand side by side, the house cultivates a cooking that is honest, generous and faithful to the recipes that made Lyon's name.

A "gone" is a Lyon child in the local dialect: an affectionate nod to the spirit of conviviality that reigns here. Beneath the glass roof of the Halles, you sit down as if among family to rediscover a regional repertoire with no frills, built on produce sourced from the neighbouring market stalls and prepared in keeping with tradition.

Charcuterie, hearty bistro dishes and local specialities make up a generous menu, served in the dining room as well as on the sunny terrace beneath the glass roof. The warm service and copious portions make this singular address an essential stop for anyone seeking, within the Halles Paul Bocuse, the authentic taste of the Lyon table.
