The romantic tendencies of the French are renowned, and they don't fall short when it comes to romantic restaurant, particularly in Lyon, where the ambiance of 'amour' can be felt in many of the city's 1000+ restaurants. But if you want to find that really special place, perfect for a romantic dinner for two; a little digging around is well worthwhile. Here, we've saved you the time and done the digging for you!
Terrace dining is a lovely way to enjoy a romantic dinner during the summer in Lyon, and with so many restaurants opening up special terraced areas when the warm weather arrives; visitors have plenty of places to choose from. Top of the list, Les Terrasses de Lyon, Maison Villemanzy and Restaurant de Fourvière are all wonderful restaurants for a romantic dinner. All three restaurants have highly rated French menus, and all three are located hillside (on Fourvière and Croix-Rousse hills), so terrace dining at any of these restaurants will afford spectacular views across the city of Lyon.
Back down to the Presqu'Île (peninsula between the Rhône and Sôane rivers), and into the grandeur of the area Terreaux, three notable romantic restaurants include La Luz, Le Passage and Café de Fédérations. Selected for their intimate surroundings, romantic ambiance and consistently good French menus; romancers looking for that special place to dine will not be disappointed with any of these three special restaurants.
For those who need a bit of spice to heat up that romantic dinner date, there are a number of restaurants that fit the spicy bill while including all the romantic requirements of ambiance and decor.
