"Menu Tradition" at Grand Café des Négociants - Created in 1864 - in Lyon - Rhône Valley 2024 by ombiasy WineTours






Rhône Valley 2024 by ombiasy WineTours led by Annette Schiller took place from October 13 - October 23. The tour started in Lyon and ended in Châteauneuf-du-Pap/ Avignon. There were 8 of us including Annette and me.

The Rhône Valley is one of the oldest wine regions in France, and the second largest after Bordeaux. The Greeks introduced viticulture in the 4th century BC. Later the Romans came and brought viticulture to a different level. Since then the world has discovered Rhône wines and some of the most famous wines come from the Rhône Valley. The vineyards are located on both sides of the river. The Rhône Valley is divided into two distinctively different regions: the Northern Rhône and the Southern Rhône.

we had our first joint dinner (Menu Tradition - entrée, plat, dessert) at Grand Café des Négociants, a stunning place with its Second Empire decor.

Dinner at Restaurant Le Grand Café des Négociants

Created in 1864, the « Grand Café des Négociants » settles in Lyon’s History.

It keeps throughout time its Second Empire decor characterized by its moulded and painted ceilings, its splendid opulent curtains and its numerous mirrors, all in burgundy and mahogany monochrome that give it a warm ambiance.

Formerly a place of negotiation for diamond merchants, silk merchants and wholesale butchers that used numerous mirrors to communicate discretely through signs, the brasserie has remained the meeting place for politicians, artists, business travelers…

Located on the Peninsula (classified at World Heritage by Unesco), between place Bellecour and the Town Hall, steps from the Palais de la Bourse, the Célestins theater and the Opera, in the heart of the golden square where are located luxury boutiques, the Grand Café des Négociants welcomes you daily throughout the year.
