About Bel Ami

A neighbourhood bistro, made for feeling at home.

Since 2017

A fairly simple story.

Bel Ami opened in 2017 at 34 rue Sergent Blandan, at the foot of Lyon’s Croix-Rousse slopes, a stone’s throw from Place Sathonay.

It started with a very personal wish: to create the bistro we would have loved to go to ourselves. Warm and unpretentious, a place to eat well, drink well and take your time.

Over the years, the cooking has evolved, the cellar has grown, and regulars have made it their own.

It began as a personal project; it has become the place of everyone who brings it to life.

And the spirit has stayed the same.

A lively bistro

Bel Ami lives above all through the people who walk through its door.

Those who come for lunch every week, those discovering the place for the first time, those who come to open a bottle with friends, and those who end up becoming regulars.

But above all, those who work here, in the kitchen and in the dining room: the soul of the place.

Plates, bottles, encounters and quite a few good times.

That’s what makes Bel Ami.

At lunch, in the evening, around a bottle

At lunch

A seasonal slate that changes every week.

In the evening

Plates set in the middle of the table, to share.

In the glass

Nearly 202 wines, chosen over the years.

At Bel Ami, food and wine have always gone hand in hand.

The painting at the back

Live simply, laugh often, wine a lot.

We never found a better way to sum up Bel Ami.
