The rhythm of the seasons
At La Brasserie des Monts d'Or, the news is written first on the plate and through the calendar. Rather than fixing a single menu, the house prefers to follow the movement of the seasons: each period brings its own produce, cravings and pleasures of the table. In spring and summer, we enjoy the panoramic terrace and the bright flavours of the market; in autumn and winter, the cuisine becomes more comforting, built around generous dishes that celebrate the terroir of the Monts d'Or and the Lyon region.
This way of living to the rhythm of the seasons is what gives the house its richness. The traditional, bistronomic and sincere brasserie cuisine renews itself naturally with each delivery, without ever losing its course: produce selected from neighbouring growers, well-mastered cooking, honest flavours. Following the brasserie's news means following this breathing through the year, and knowing exactly when to come and enjoy a particular seasonal pleasure.
Market cuisine
At the heart of the gourmet news are the daily specials. Each day, the market sets the tone: a fine piece of produce, a seasonal delivery, an inspiration from the chef, and a new suggestion comes to complete the menu. This market cuisine, lively and spontaneous, ensures that every visit holds its share of discovery. People return to the brasserie for this very reason: to taste what was not there last time.
On weekday lunchtimes, the daily set menu at €30 — starter at €8, main at €15, dessert at €7 — embodies this market philosophy and excellent value for money, from Tuesday to Friday lunch, excluding public holidays. A simple way to enjoy bistronomy every day, following the very best of what the season has to offer. To learn the day's specials, the best thing is to call the house or to drop by and push the door open.
Highlights
Throughout the year, certain highlights punctuate the life of the brasserie. The most eagerly awaited is surely the opening of the panoramic terrace in fine weather: as soon as the sun settles in, tables are set in the shade of the trees, facing the rooftops of Lyon and the slopes of the Monts d'Or. Lingering aperitifs, sunlit lunches, games of pétanque on the gravel: the warm season reawakens that market-square spirit that is the soul of the house.
Seasonal set menus and convivial moments also mark the year, around platters and tapas to share, the cellar to take away and advice on food-and-wine pairings, from Beaujolais to the Rhône Valley. Whether you come with family, with friends or for a business lunch, the brasserie nurtures this warm conviviality all year round. To make sure you miss none of these highlights and to know what is being prepared, the ideal is to keep an eye on the house's news.
To follow the life of the house as closely as possible, nothing beats Instagram. This is where the brasserie shares its daily specials, the opening of the terrace, the beautiful plates from the market, the seafood and the seasonal pleasures, as well as the atmospheres that make up the daily life of the table. Photos often say better than words the warm and gourmet spirit that reigns on the Place de la République.
By following us on Instagram, you stay informed of what's new, of the seasonal set menus and of the convivial moments not to be missed. And to book your table, one gesture is enough: a call to the brasserie, Tuesday to Saturday, lunch and dinner. It is also, in the old-fashioned way, the finest way to begin the conversation.
