Danton

Danton is a modern French restaurant at 8 Rue Danton in Lyon's 3rd arrondissement, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France, holding a Michelin Bib Gourmand for good-quality, good-value cooking. The street lies in the Part-Dieu and Guillotière area, a residential part of the city away from the main tourist circuit, which gives the restaurant a local clientele. The menu is short and seasonal, a format that keeps ingredients fresh and the kitchen focused, and the cooking is modern French rather than strictly bouchon. Because the menu changes, no single dish is fixed as a signature, and the offering depends on market produce. Costs are about €36 to €65 per person excluding drinks, depending on the number of courses chosen, which is a reasonable price for a Bib Gourmand address in Lyon. The dining room is relaxed and contemporary, with a modest, neighbourhood feel and no formal dress code. Wines are likely to be drawn from the Rhône valley and Beaujolais, though the list was not detailed in the data. Reservations are advised, and the sister restaurant L'Escapade du Danton next door is the overflow option when the main room is full, which is useful for walk-ins. Opening hours are only partly confirmed: Monday and Tuesday lunch from 12:00 to 13:30 is known, and the other days were not found, so a phone or online check before visiting is sensible. The restaurant suits a visitor who wants a modern, well-priced meal rather than a traditional bouchon, and it is within reach of Part-Dieu station and the Rhône embankments.
