Our opening hours
When are we open?
Aux Trois Maries welcomes you six days a week, Tuesday to Sunday, for lunch as well as dinner. On Monday, the house rests: it's the only full closing day of the week. A simple marker to keep in mind before planning your visit to Vieux-Lyon.
The rhythm is that of a real Lyon bouchon: two services a day, one at lunch, one in the evening, separated by an afternoon break. This isn't an all-day restaurant — that pause is part of the craft, giving the kitchen time to prepare each service as it should be.
The exact times vary slightly by day, a little later at the weekend. The table below sums up the essentials; the following sections detail the lunch service, the dinner service, and the few particular days to keep in mind.
The lunch service
Lunch is served from noon, Tuesday to Sunday. During the week, the kitchen runs until 2pm; at the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, service extends to 2.30pm — time to settle in without rushing after a morning exploring the Renaissance quarter.
Lunch is often the most peaceful moment to discover the house: light comes through the windows onto rue des Trois-Maries, the terrace comes alive in fine weather, and there's time for a bouchon lunch without the density of weekend evenings.
It's also the ideal slot for a break during a stroll through Vieux-Lyon. A late-morning call is often enough to get a table, but booking remains the surest option in high tourist season.
The dinner service
Dinner begins at 7pm. Tuesday to Friday, the kitchen serves until 10pm; on Saturday, the busiest night, until 10.30pm; on Sunday evening, a slightly shorter service, until 9.30pm. Keep these times in mind for a late dinner, especially after a show or an evening in the quarter.
In the evening, the room takes on a whole other character: white linen, warm light, conversations rising from one table to the next. It's bouchon atmosphere in all its conviviality, and it's when tables go fastest.
For a Friday or Saturday dinner, booking is strongly advised. Tell us the time you'd like to be seated: we arrange the service so you're never rushed, even late in the evening.
Monday, public holidays and closures
The house is closed every Monday, lunch and dinner: it's the team's day off. If you're planning your Lyon meal on a Monday, it's best to shift it a day — we'll gladly welcome you from Tuesday.
Around public holidays and busy periods, hours may be adjusted, and some dates book up well in advance. If in doubt about a particular day, a simple call confirms the opening and saves you a wasted trip.
When to come, and how to book
Depending on the moment in the week, the atmosphere and availability change. Here are three markers to choose your slot and arrive with an easy mind.
The quiet moments
On weekday lunches, Tuesday to Friday, the room is calmer: it's the best time to take your time and discover the menu without the crowd of weekend evenings.
The busy moments
On Friday and Saturday evenings, and on high-season weekends, tables fill fast. Book ahead to be sure of your place at the time you want.
Booking made simple
An online booking or a call is enough. Give us the day, the time and the number of guests; for a large group, it's best to tell us in advance so we can arrange the service.
Arriving at the right time on rue des Trois-Maries
Vieux-Lyon is a largely pedestrian quarter: you don't park at the door, and the walk from the car park or metro station adds to the table's time. Allow a few minutes' margin, especially at peak times around Saint-Jean cathedral.
At the busiest slots — Saturday evening, sunny weekend lunches — arriving a little early turns the last stretch into a stroll rather than a race. Metro line D reaches Vieux-Lyon station directly, a few minutes' walk from rue des Trois-Maries.
One last marker: if in doubt about the opening time or access on a particular day, call us. We know the quarter and the house's rhythm better than any app, and we'll gladly guide you to the table.
