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.
