The story
Under the shade of plane trees on Cours Franklin Roosevelt, in Lyon’s 6th arrondissement, Brasserie Roseaux welcomes guests with an open, convivial spirit. The name, inspired by the reeds that line the Rhône and Saône, speaks to a cuisine that balances rooted traditions with refined elegance. Recognized by Michelin as a Recommended address, this brasserie is a testament to the enduring appeal of Classic Cuisine – joyful, savoury, and deeply French.
At the helm are Tabata and Ludovic Mey, whose vision is a return to culinary heritage. They honour the great classics of French gastronomy: seafood platters, côte de bœuf, fish meunière, veal sweetbreads, vol-au-vent to share, and seasonal pithiviers. The menu changes with the market, offering a lunchtime formule and evening suggestions that highlight the best of the day’s arrivals.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with fifty seats indoors and a terrace of eighty covers for sunny days. Interiors marry wood, green marble, and sanded travertine, accented with soft gold and mirror-lined walls – details that echo the natural grace of reeds. Service is attentive, with tableside carving and a genuine care for the dining experience. Whether it’s a family lunch or a candlelit dinner, Brasserie Roseaux aims to be a second home where the pleasure of eating together is rediscovered. Open daily for lunch and dinner, it is a living, breathing place – a true brasserie in the best sense of the word.
