The first snowflakes in the mountains and the opening of ski resorts, the hustle and bustle of Christmas markets and the Fête des Lumières, the opening of Advent calendars, not forgetting the list for Santa Claus… yes, it ‘s December. And when we looked into the subject of Lyon’s best cheese shops and places to eat melting cheese, we found the place to be. It’s simple, it ticks all the boxes of what we’re looking for in Lyon: a great place to eat, in great quantity and at the best price.
La Bascule restaurant and its all-you-can-eat raclette menu
Just talking about it made our mouths water, and gave us goose bumps. Yes, there’s a place in Lyon where you can eat good raclette, and as much as you like. La Bascule offers a formula for two people or more that’s sure to be a hit. Just imagine: a wheel of raclette matured by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, with unlimited potatoes and salad, served directly with a charcuterie board or a vegetarian option.
For gourmets, you can push the envelope even further by ordering our smoked raclette or bear’s garlic raclette, both of which are also served all-you-can-eat. Whether it’s for an evening out with family or friends, or even for a date (we promise, it works), the all-you-can-eat raclette plan is sincerely the thing to do when the cold sets in, but also to gently prepare your stomach for the festive season.
A restaurant of season and tradition
The restaurant may offer the best deal for a good family raclette, but it’s also an excellent place to eat something other than large quantities of melted cheese. Here, the menu focuses on tradition and the seasons. With a daily special at €18 and a weekday lunchtime menu at €23.50, you’ll be hard pressed to find anything better on this side of the menu too.
And as good things never come alone, beer lovers will find a selection of beers, including one specially produced for the restaurant, as well as a whole range of local wines and first-rate cocktails. It’s no coincidence that the restaurant has a flawless ratings record, with no fewer than 600 reviews and an average of 4.9/5. Enjoy!
