Vieux-Lyon · UNESCO Renaissance quarter
A restaurant in Vieux-Lyon, rue des Trois-Maries
In the heart of the Renaissance quarter, Aux Trois Maries has kept the Lyonnaise table alive since the middle of the last century: local produce, attentive service, one of the oldest bouchons in the city.
The house
A real table in Vieux-Lyon
Eating in Vieux-Lyon means finding the honest table behind the dozens of signs along rue Saint-Jean. Aux Trois Maries, born in the middle of the last century, holds that thread without folklore: honest, local cooking served in a room of chequered tiles, beneath the large painting that gives the house its name.
The address takes its name from rue des Trois-Maries, named in the 17th century after the three Marys of the Gospel. It once occupied the 'café des primeurs', facing the Saône quay market. Lunch here is like dinner: in a more contemporary Lyon bistro spirit, yet always convivial.
On the plate
Lyonnaise cuisine, in its rightful place
A good meal in Vieux-Lyon often means finding the Lyonnaise staples, made in-house and well executed. Here is what to look for on a menu worthy of the name.
The location
Below Fourvière, steps from Saint-Jean
The restaurant sits on one of the cobbled lanes of the Renaissance quarter, a World Heritage site since 1998. All around: Saint-Jean cathedral, the Saint-Paul and Saint-Georges districts, the Fourvière hill and the famous traboules — the perfect setting for a Lyonnaise break.
The Vieux-Lyon metro station reaches the quarter within minutes from Bellecour and the Presqu'île. In fine weather, the terrace spreads over the cobbles, in the shade of the lime tree on place de la Baleine, away from the bustle of rue Saint-Jean.
Groups & private events
Host in a Lyonnaise setting
Two rooms, sixty-five covers, a terrace: the chequered ground floor and the moulded upper floor suit family lunches as well as corporate events. Air-conditioned room, wheelchair access, Wi-Fi — all in the heart of Vieux-Lyon.
