"We stopped here for a late lunch/early dinner before catching a nearby cruise, and we’re so glad we did. The staff was warm and welcoming, and we quickly got a lovely table for two. My husband ordered a steak and I had the croque monsieur—both were delicious, but the standout was definitely the crème brûlée, one of the best I’ve ever had! The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, with several families dining as well. Prices felt very fair for the quality, and the bathrooms were clean. Accessibility might be a challenge for wheelchair users, but otherwise it’s a great spot for couples or families alike. Would happily return!"

"Beautiful little French restaurant, fresh delicious food. I didn't like the smell of the cigarettes from nearby outside, but the waiter I had (Adrian) was just so wonderful I put everything aside. He attentively learned my allergic needs even in a language different to his he patiently navigated and assisted, double checking things and looking at my Google translate texts (because my French is sadly non existent) until everything was understood. The food is fresh with some lovely choices. The Thai beef salad was incredible, I've eaten that many times in several countries and cultures, none beat this one, fabulous! Top quality meat, not dried hard strips like some. I'm really thrilled to have stopped here and have made a conscious choice to eat a bit more here than I usually would as opposed to get a snack for later. Thanks Adrian, thanks to the chef and all workers and owners for such a nice experience."

"I spent four weeks in Paris and Portugal, exploring a wide variety of restaurants — from simple local spots to famous and renowned places. Yet none of them delivered as much value or gave me such a great experience as Terrasse de Lyon. This restaurant is not expensive or fancy, but it truly excels at what it promises: excellent service, a welcoming atmosphere, and surprisingly delicious dishes. One highlight is the tuna with a crust and horseradish sauce. If you enjoy fresh tuna and the distinctive taste of horseradish, this dish is simply a must-try. Simple, yet incredibly flavorful. The price is fair and reasonable for the quality, and the overall experience was so positive that I consider this restaurant one of the best discoveries of my trip. I highly recommend Terrasse de Lyon to anyone visiting Paris, especially near Gare de Lyon. Don’t miss it — it will be a wonderful surprise."

"Arrived from Italy on the train and found this gem. Short walk from the station. It was snowing so we sat in the window and watched. Had the best French onion soup that we had all trip in France! And the tiramisu was devine. Very cool waitress too that joked around with us but also was very attentive and food was served suoer quick. Highly recommend!"
