Le Bouchon des Filles

Near place Sathonay, at 20 rue Sergent-Blandan, Le Bouchon des Filles offers a contemporary reading of Lyonnaise cooking. Its founders, Isabelle and Laura, say on the website that they worked as waitresses at Café des Fédérations before opening their own place. They wanted to preserve the tradition of the mères lyonnaises while serving home cooking that feels less heavy. That story comes through in a small, lively dining room where shared tables and a set menu shape the experience.

The published menu starts with a procession of salad bowls, followed by a choice of main course, cheese and dessert. It lists red mullet quenelle with shellfish sauce, black pudding with apple, andouillette, aubergine and other dishes; the cooking is not quite as hearty as that of a more classic bouchon. Visitors praise the friendly atmosphere, particular dishes and value of the menu, while some advise booking and note that sittings can feel tightly timed. Treat it as a planned meal rather than a place to turn up at any hour.

The official page places the restaurant beside place Sathonay, lists its phone number and says it serves dinner daily, with lunch at weekends and an additional Thursday lunch announced for 2026. It also offers booking; confirm availability because seating is limited. After the meal, a walk from the centre can continue towards the slopes of Croix-Rousse. Compared with Café Comptoir Abel’s historic rooms and more classic menu, this is the option for a home-style bouchon with a structured meal and a less formal tone.
