13 brunch rooms in Lyon we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Lyon | Brunch across every city.
Brunch is a more recent arrival in a city built around the midday lunch, and it tends to cluster where the third-wave coffee crowd already gathers. La Commune on Rue Pre-Gaudry in the 7e turned a former garage into a sprawling weekend hall, while Cafe Gadagne sits in Vieux Lyon in the 5e and Suzette Pancakerie works the sweeter end near Place Saint-Nizier. For something closer to the market tradition, Sibilia at the Halles de Lyon-Paul Bocuse lets you graze charcuterie rather than pancakes.
