Le Bouillon Paradis

Lyon is a city of wine drinkers at heart, but many trendy restaurants that serve small plates have started offering beer. While that’s all fine and well, the €10 price tag you’ll see at most places is double or more than a glass of vin. But Le Bouillon Paradis has stayed resolutely cheap and cheerful, with draft beers at rock bottom prices, and vibes by the ladle with regular live music nights. Generous sharing platters spill over the edges of their wooden boards—in a true break from tradition, the best one here is vegetarian, with snacks like olive-infused cornbread and homemade guacamole rather than charcuterie.
