Brasserie Georges
An exceptional traditional brasserie, serving both traditional Lyonnaise food as well as Alsatian favorites like the Choucroute Impériale, a huge pile of sauerkraut with various sausages and an entire pork knuckle. The cavernous main dining hall is a real Art Deco treat. Founded in 1836, this is one of the largest brasseries in France and it can serve 1000 people a night over two sittings. Reservations accepted only for groups of 7 people or more, otherwise you'll have to queue: expect to spend up to an hour in line at peak times. Fortunately the second half of the queue is inside next to the bar, where you can sample the house brews while you wait.
Daily 11:30-23:00Mains €15-24, 3-courses from €25

Musée des Arts Décoratifs et Musée des Tissus
Decorative Arts museum and Fabrics museum
Great if you are into old European oil paintings, or relocated Egyptian, Greek or Mesopotamian antiquities. An impressively large local numismatic gallery. Housed in an interesting building with a pleasant courtyard. Probably disappointing if you have come from larger museums such as those in Paris, unless you have a specific local history or antiquarian focus.
Closed for renovations until 2024
