Restaurants, brasseries, bouchons, bistros, and bars… Rue Mercière is to dining what Lyon is to gastronomy: the place of all superlatives! But since the start of the year, a breath of fresh air has swept through the street with the opening of this new restaurant. And trust us, this new spot has the three keys to success: it’s famous, it’s original, and it’s affordable.
Orizzo, the new Japanese restaurant on Rue Mercière
The reputation of Japanese cuisine is well-established. Fresh ingredients, masterful techniques, and impeccable presentation are the norm. At Orizzo, you’ll find all of this in an intimate, cozy atmosphere—in short, everything you need to enjoy the tempura shrimp or beef tataki, served as appetizers, with chopsticks. Keep the momentum going by savoring the crispy salmon or the mouthwatering tonkatsu pork, not to mention the udon satay, which will transport you straight to Tokyo’s Omoide Yokocho district.
A lunch special for €16
And that’s where the magic happens. The restaurant offers a lunch menu featuring a starter, main course, and dessert for €16. Choose from gyoza or yakitori skewers as a starter, followed by a customizable bento boxfor the main course, and finally a quality dessert to round out the meal. You’ll enjoy a delicious, satisfying meal right in the heart of Lyon.
We recommend making a reservation to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Because as you know, the best spots in Lyon spread like wildfire… but shhh, we didn’t tell you anything!
