2. Brasserie Georges

Excellent food and great service. Even with very little French language skill, we had no problems ordering. Not all staff spoke English but they used a team approach that included people who could talk to us. We found the service very professional and efficient yet it was a friendly informal place. I haven't ordered French Onion Soup in decades but tried it here and was knocked over. I emailed them later and got the recipe. Lyon is filled with fine, fine dining spots but we'll go here every time we are in the city.
