Rank 2. Le Grand Réfectoire
Modern Caribbean
The dining room inside Lyon's restored Hôtel-Dieu is a former 18th-century hospital hall, vaulted and vast, with stained-glass light and art hanging on white walls. It's a brasserie-scale modern restaurant where the kitchen, guided by Marcel Ravin, leans into French technique with Caribbean inflections. The rooftop bar and courtyard patio mean you could easily stretch one meal into an entire afternoon, which Lyon tends to encourage anyway.

Rank 3. Jah Jah
Vegan Caribbean
Jah Jah started life as a vegan hot dog tricycle and has since settled into a proper Afro-Caribbean canteen, complete with Bob Marley portraits, Jamaican flags, and a reggae soundtrack that never gets a day off. The all-vegan menu runs to tempeh skewers, barbecue cauliflower wings, and bowls built on yams and acheke. Order the bissap or ginger juice, because the skewers bring more heat than the tricycle ever did.
