- The "True" Homemade: Absolutely everything is made on site from raw ingredients – from the signature sauces (like Nantua) to the golden shortcrust pastry of the praline tart.
- Ultra-local sourcing: The chef exclusively uses local produce from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This includes the famous string-tied andouillette sausage from the... Braillon House, fresh trout from Isère, or even the mature Saint-Marcellin from the prestigious Mother Richard.
- The experience of the traditional Mâchon: Faithful to the customs of the old silk weavers, the establishment organizes convivial morning snacks every month by reservation, featuring pork products and pots of Côtes du Rhône wine.
Located at 8 Place Saint-Jean, opposite the majestic medieval cathedral, the Canuts Inn establishes itself as a true sanctuary of Lyon's rustic cuisine.
Led by chef Romain Véricel, this establishment categorically rejects the allure of industrial food production. Here, gastronomy is experienced through the lens of high standards, product traceability, and absolute respect for traditional recipes.
A double certification of excellence: The Auberge des Canuts holds the State title of Master Restaurateur (obtained in 2022) and holds the official, highly selective label of «"Lyon-style bouchon"» (since 2023). Two distinctions subject to regular mystery audits which guarantee 100% homemade cuisine.
The menu: The art of showcasing local produce
No superfluous frills, but surgical precision in the execution of classic Lyonnais culinary heritage dishes:
