1. La Boite à Café
$ | Presqu'île |Watch the world go by on the street-side terrace at this small but lively café on a picturesque square at the foot of the hill leading to Croix Rousse. Low-key and casual, the focus here is squarely on the java—every kind of caffeinated beverage can be conjured up here, and coffee aficionados are reassured by the fact that the meticulously sourced beans are roasted on the premises. Freshly baked carrot cake or cheesecake, tarte au citron, and warm chocolate fondant are irresistibly decadent alongside a luscious café crème. There's also a great choice of magazines and newspapers and free Wi-Fi access.

2. Le Kitchen Café
$ | |Though delicious coffee, croissants, and pastries are on the all-day menu, Swedish chef Connie Zagora and her pastry chef husband, Laurent Ozan, dish up one of the more exciting gastronomic lunches in town in this luminous little café. A new concept that's catching hold in Paris and Lyon alike, the restaurant is open from 8 am to 6:30 pm, serving an all-day menu of sweet or savory breakfast foods (think broiled eggs with soy sauce, trout gravlax with dill cream, homemade granola, and fromage frais) and a range of homemade pastries. But the real star is the three-course (€29) lunch menu, offering such gourmet delights as velvety green parsley and leek vichyssoise, followed by marinated cod or steak with parsnip cream black sesame and shiitake mushrooms. All ingredients are locally sourced and the chef is vegetarian friendly.

3. Morfal
$ | La Croix Rousse |Set on a tiny street at the foot of the Croix Rousse neighborhood, this small, casual eatery is surely the best bargain in town, with nothing on the menu over €10 and each plate a small delight of sublime and provocative flavors. It's also an invitation to travel, with far-flung influences that take you from Korea via an ethereal smoked mousse and kimchi, Japan with dishes like miso-barbecued chicken or teriyaki braised beef, and the Middle East in the Ajo Blanco zaatar-spiced zucchini. Don't spend too much time deciding because every single dish is excellent and once started you'll want to taste everything. Reservations are a must.

4. A Chacun Sa Tasse
$ | Presqu'île |With a name that translates to "to each one his glass," this charming corner café is where tea lovers don't have to settle for the usual humdrum selection of teabags in the midst of a coffee bonanza. Here both tea and coffee are meticulously sourced and served with utmost care so everyone is happy. Whatever you do, don't skimp on the desserts, as they're as good as the beverages.

5. Café du Jura
$ | Presqu'île |The gâteau de foies de volaille aux raviolis (chicken-liver ravioli) is a masterpiece at this eatery founded in 1864. Game and steak dishes are robust, as is the cassolette d'escargots (stew of beans, mutton, and snails). For dessert, stick with the terrific cheese selection. The rows of tables, the mosaic-tile floor, and the absence of anything too decorative gives this place the feel of a men's club.

- Authentic atmosphere

6. Galopin
$ | |Don't be deceived by this rustic-casual eatery's plain, monochrome decor and laid-back atmosphere—here the color is on your plate in a veritable rainbow of hues, textures, and flavors. The more people the merrier as the small plates listed on the handy blackboard menu are meant to be shared (or not) with a recommended minimum of two per person. But of course, you'll want to try them all.
3 quai des Cordeliers, Annecy, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 74000, France06–46–88–73–14Known For

- Excellent prices
- Local organic products

7. La Crêperie des Chevaliers
$ | |The décor may be unassuming but the food at this bistro-crêperie, conveniently set on the old town square, is delicious, ample, and well priced. French and Norman specialties run the gamut from a generous plate of steak tartare and salad to savory crêpes in classic combinations: cheese and mushroom or classic egg and ham, with plenty of sweet variations for dessert.
7 place de la République, Viviers, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 07220, France04–75–54–83–70 -
8. La Marguerite Rouge
$ | |This is the place to go for a taste of the local bounty, with a focus on what's fresh, seasonal, and organic. A warm welcome is assured at this tiny restaurant, set in the vaulted wine cellar of a B&B, and the love of good products is evident in everything from the local wines to the simple, delicious dishes—quiches, salads, soups, cheese and artisanal charcuterie plates. At €10 and €12, the two-course lunch menus are an absolute steal. It's popular, so be sure to reserve in advance.

There are plenty of tasty small plates to highlight the deliciousness of the wines: artisanal charcuterie, copious cheese boards, foie gras, and other homemade terrines, tapenade, and hummus, all served with delicious crusty bread. There's a small selection of tempting desserts too. Join the enthusiastic patrons at the endless wooden table or enjoy a more intimate tasting at a smaller round table or banquette.

10. Mokxa
$ | Presqu'île |This is where serious coffee drinkers go for a reliably excellent brew, meticulously sourced and roasted at their torrefactory in Lyon and brewed just how you like it, whether that's filtered, siphoned, or cold brewed. There's also a range of artisanal hot chocolates, chais, iced coffees in summer, and tasty snacks. If you doubt their seriousness, the café also hosts coffee-brewing classes. There's also a branch in the Croix Rousse, at 5 Rue Victor Fort (4e).
