Aux Trois Maries, Traditional bouchon restaurant in Place de la Baleine, Lyon, France.
Aux Trois Maries is a traditional Lyonnaise bouchon restaurant located in a historic building on Place de la Baleine. The main dining room features simple wooden furniture and local character, while upstairs holds a more intimate space with regional artistic touches.
The restaurant began in the mid-20th century as Le Café des Primeurs before receiving its current name. The change of name connected it to the nearby street and rooted it further in the neighborhood's past.
The name comes from the nearby Rue des Trois Maries, and the place has long been a gathering spot for locals in the neighborhood. You can feel the strong connection to regional cooking and to handmade products that shape daily life in Lyon.
The restaurant opens Tuesday through Sunday with lunch service from 12:00 to 14:00 and dinner starting at 19:00. Weekend hours extend longer, and it is wise to reserve ahead, especially on weekends.
The owner Clémentine Roure works closely with regional producers to keep traditional recipes alive using fresh ingredients. Especially popular are house-made creations like the pink praline tarts, which cannot be found elsewhere.
