La Bouteillerie - Lyon

The best wine bar in Lyon with the best owner/sommelier Christophe. The place is small with a few tables both inside and outside, so make sure you reserve ahead of time. From start to finish, Christophe had shown us the best hospitality. We let him bring us the wine that he thinks we will like, which he did an incredible job on (we had 5 different wines). He also served couple small dishes to go with the wines, which he made himself. We ordered a charcuterie and cheese plate, a slice of tartine with lardon, and chocolate brownies for dessert, and they are all delicious. Just be patient while enjoying yourself here, as this is a one-man show and Christophe wants to show everyone his love and passion for wine, so service might be a little bit slow. But who is in a hurry when you have good food and great wine in front of you? If you visit Lyon, please visit this wonderful wine bar, as you will not disappoint!

We had a great time at La Bouteillerie. We came in early for a quick glass of wine and even though the place was fully booked, Christoph made room for us. In the end, we stayed until closing time. Christoph led us through excellent wines (mostly) from near Lyon based on what flavors we liked and sat down with us to explain where the wines were coming from and how this and the grapes influenced the flavor. The food was also really nice and accompanied the wines well. Christoph even gave us several recommendations for restaurants and bars in our further holiday destinations. If I could give more than five stars I would've done so. Thanks again, Christoph!

Such a highlight of our few days in Lyon! Chris was the most fantastic host. It felt like an incredibly personal experience, the wines were wonderful, the food was great, excellent value too. Could not recommend highly enough!

Very good address, the owner gives very good advice. wine as food are on top!

A small hot wine bar of rare quality! Christophe always offers beautiful tastings. He's ready to teach us his love of wine. boards and quiches are a real pleasure.
