Gallery
A few moments of the house, the terrace and our plates.

First glance
A great brasserie tells its story first through what you see: the light on the golden stone, the movement of the tables, the panorama that opens up behind the terrace. This gallery brings together the images of La Brasserie des Monts d'Or to give you, before you even arrive, the feeling of the place. You can sense the cosy, welcoming atmosphere of the dining room, the market-square spirit that animates the house and the view that makes this Monts d'Or restaurant so singular, perched above Lyon.
Browse these photographs the way you would leaf through a seasonal notebook: each image says a little about the way we welcome our guests. The bourgeois building and its decor, the terrace in the shade of the trees, the bistronomic plates born from the produce of our neighbouring growers. Together, they paint the portrait of a convivial table where you come with family, with friends or for a business meal, sure of finding the pleasure of fine gatherings and the generosity of seasonal cooking.
Inside
Inside, the cosy, welcoming decor blends natural materials, inviting banquettes and generously laid tables. The rooms flow into one another, letting conversation and laughter circulate without breaking the intimacy of each table. You settle in as if at home, for a quick weekday lunch as much as a long, lingering dinner. The light, soft and ever-changing, dresses the golden-stone walls and gives the room that character of a grand brasserie where it feels good to linger.
This market-square spirit can be found in every detail: the clink of glasses, the attentive service, the friendly comings and goings between tables. The house embraces a sincere, unfussy conviviality, where there is always time to recommend a wine or explain a dish. The images of the dining room convey this atmosphere: a lively, open place, designed for sharing, that brings together village regulars and visitors who have come up from Lyon for a change of scenery.

Open air
When the fine days arrive, the terrace becomes the great asset of the house. Seated in the shade of the trees, you take in the rooftops of Lyon and the slopes of the Monts d'Or as they descend towards the valley. It is a balcony open onto the city, perfect for a sunny lunch, a lingering aperitif or a dinner in the cool of the evening. The photographs of this panoramic terrace over Lyon say better than words the pleasure of being outdoors, glass in hand and conversation flowing freely.
The spirit that reigns here belongs to a village celebration: you share, you toast, you put the world to rights. A game of pétanque takes shape, the boules rolling across the gravel while the sharing boards and tapas make their rounds. The terrace sums up the soul of the brasserie: generous, lively and resolutely turned towards the pleasure of being together. Through the images, you grasp that unique panorama over the Lyon metropolis, one of the finest assets of our restaurant near Lyon.

In the kitchen
On the plate, the house champions a sincere bistronomy: traditional brasserie cooking, rooted in the season, that delicately reinterprets the great French classics. The produce is sourced as close as possible, from neighbouring growers, so that every plate tells the story of the terroir of the Monts d'Or and the Lyon region. The images of our dishes bear witness to this care: precise cooking, thoughtful plating, honest flavours served without fuss, following the market and the deliveries.
To photograph a plate is to capture a moment of work and pleasure: the colour of a sauce, the grain of a piece of meat, the freshness of an ingredient chosen that very morning. This gallery highlights the philosophy of the house, where true taste always comes first. From weekday lunchtimes, with the daily set menu at 30 €, to more indulgent dinners, the brasserie's kitchen cultivates the same standard: respect the produce, celebrate the season and offer, at every service, the generosity of a great bistronomic table.
