Chez Tamara is a true Lebanese gem in Lyon. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were back in Lebanon. The food was authentic, full of flavor, and clearly prepared with care and tradition — exactly how Lebanese cuisine should be. Every dish tasted homemade and generous, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. It’s not just a meal, it’s a real Lebanese experience, from the flavors to the hospitality. Highly recommended to anyone looking for authentic Lebanese food and a genuine cultural experience in Lyon. We will definitely come back!

Such a lovely restaurant. Lots of vegetarian options and most of them were good. Good value for price. Tapas style, you can order few dishes to share among the group. For example, order at least 5 dishes to share between two. Everything comes with bread. Nice service. Quite calm and not so many people. Dint expect to get great drinks/ beer/wine though. Overall a good place to go.

If you are visiting Lyon and want to enjoy a hearty, healthy meal in a family atmosphere, then this is an excellent place to eat. The service is efficient and the style is friendly and authentic, with a truly Lebanese menu. Being Mediterranean, the dishes are homemade. Many thanks and congratulations to the whole team.

Amazing service. Good culinary advises, fast. Taste is just so perfect. If you want to live the lebanese culture no need to pay an airplane ticket to beirut. Just come dine at Chez Tamara. Best value for money
