Empanadas Club, Argentine restaurant in Lyon, France
Empanadas Club is an Argentine restaurant in Lyon that prepares eight different types of filled pastries with meat, chicken, cheese, and vegetarian options. Each variety is marked with an identifying number on the edge of the pastry to help you quickly identify what you are ordering.
The restaurant opened in January 2020 as the newest location of a chain that had already launched successful branches in Montpellier and Aix-en-Provence. This expansion to Lyon represented the concept's growth across multiple French cities.
The space displays Argentine artworks and objects that evoke the atmosphere of a traditional cantina from that region. You can experience this South American setting across two separate areas designed for dining and socializing.
The restaurant is located on Rue Pizay near the Hotel de Ville metro station, making it easy to reach by public transport. It operates from Tuesday through Sunday, with later closing times on weekends to accommodate evening crowds.
Each month the kitchen creates a special empanada called Sorpresa del Mes, which features seasonal ingredients combined in new ways. This limited variation gives visitors a chance to discover something unexpected whenever they return to the restaurant.
