And There you go ! it’s the return of new addresses to try to celebrate the lovely month of May and its terraces.
And yes friends, as we don’t have the gift of ubiquity, we CANNOT test all the new Lyon addresses that open at the same time like so many tempting little provocations. But it is our pleasure to share our to do list with you. You’ll love rushing to these new addresses before us and maybe you can even tell us what you think (and do the work for us… haha!).
👉 On the menu of the month 👈
Delicate Greek cuisine, cocktails and cigars,
vegan, vegetarian, zero waste cuisine and avocados galore.
Crouton
Instead of the late TFS, an ancient – and authentic – neighborhood bar, the Croûton restaurant has been held for a few weeks. With a lunch formula starter-main course-dessert at €23 and a selection of wines with small onions, Crouton is on the list of good, even very good bistronomic addresses in the Chevreul district. The Chef having Greek origins, the Mediterranean influences are distilled according to the dishes.
In the evening, there are lovely finger-licking dishes to share, or very gourmet individual dishes (rizotto, ceviche, or lacquered pork belly – my God!!!).
Well, without wanting to spoil you, I can tell you that a favorite article is in preparation very soon.

bellie
Whoa! a very nice new address with stylish veggie, vegan and meat dishes… This story smells good. A friend of mine told me it was “amazing and too too too good” (literal transcription of his voice). And she is a vegetarian who does not mess with freshness and flavors.
In addition, the place is very beautiful, the porcelain is mottled and the wine is alive. Little crush in sight?
📅 Open since mid April
🏠 61 Rue Merciere, 69002 Lyon
⏰ Monday to Saturday noon and evening

Ubuntu
The new little 100% vegetarian, vegan and zero waste canteen at the bottom of the slopes. Obviously, we only work with organic, local and seasonal products. And then all the dishes are studied for sale to take away, in its own container or in the one recorded if you please.
At lunchtime, you can taste toasted croques and daily specials. On weekends, a vegetable brunch at €20.
I applaud with both hands so much, it looks good.
📅 Open since March 13
🏠 3 Pl. Croix-Paquet, 69001 Lyon
⏰ Open Wednesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and weekends from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Avocado Factory
The concept is as simple as anything: avocado in all sauces. In toast, bao, waffle, burger… but also in breaded nuggets and even in a sweet version in brownies or pancakes. And every day, a veggie and vegan brunch formula.
Personally, I’m skeptical. And you?
📅 Open since April 22
🏠 20 rue Palais Grillet, Lyon 2
⏰ Open every day except Monday

The Grisbi
Finally, a dad-style cocktail bar, Chesterfield atmosphere, Blues-Rock-HipHop and 100% French spirits. At Grisbi, you can discover the cigar culture as well as make a good film of bandits well seated in your armchair.
📅 Open since March
🏠 1 Rue Chavanne 69001, Lyon
⏰ Tuesday to Saturday from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Bonus: Season #3 Territories
For the third year, the wasteland of the Jean Macé station is opening its urban garden to those thirsty (for culture and beer) from the district. Never change a winning team ! Even more benches and tables to sit on, a bar, a stage and a little less choice for snacking, since the food trucks have given way to fixed kitchens.
📅 Open since May 3
🏠 97 avenue Jean Jaurès, Lyon 7
