Le Palais Saint Jean

Le Palais Saint Jean is named after the Palace of St. John, the episcopal house located near the San Juan Cathedral. It is also in the Plaza de San Juan, and you can make yourself dizzy trying to remember so many similar names, but it can be found very easily, because it is one of the squares that you are obligated to visit in the old center of Lyon. The Palace is the typical "bouchon lyonnais" type of restaurant and serves you food and local wine that you cannot find in Paris or the south. The dishes are mostly pork and there are very few options for vegetarians. The restaurant, like many around, has a nice terrace in the summer, especially at night, and the whole square is filled and there is a very good atmosphere.
