  • 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.

    • One of Lyon's best coffee shops
    • Friendly atmosphere great for hanging out
  • 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. Ô Vins d'Anges

    $$ | La Croix Rousse

    He's an indefatigable champion of small-producer wines, and you'd have to be a stone not to be swept up in Sébastien Milleret's passion. A congenial atmosphere prevails at this wineshop and bar, and excellent small dishes—luscious burrata cheese served with fruity olive oil and capers, freshly shaved bresaola and lardo, or briny smoked eel—are complemented by reasonably priced wines by the glass. On Saturday afternoon, wine barrels are rolled out for tastings that draw a neighborhood crowd.

  • 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. 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.

    $ | 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).
