Offal-proud 1920s bouchon that was Jean Moulin's canteen
Restaurant
Café des Fédérations
The 1872 bouchon every Lyonnais sends you to first
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Open since 1872 a step from Place des Terreaux, "Les Fédés" is the benchmark against which every other bouchon is measured. Communal red-checked tables, sausage hanging from the ceiling, and a fixed menu that marches from saladiers lyonnais through quenelle and cervelle de canut without a single concession to fashion. Loud, generous, and entirely real.
Editor's Tip
Book ahead; the set menu is the move and portions are enormous. Open daily, lunch and dinner.
