Lyon and its surroundings host restaurants housed in converted buildings that differ from the usual formats. An old convent downtown now hosts Les Téléphones, where customers order via vintage phones placed on each table. In Montagny, Aux Prisons occupies an old prison whose walls and cells have been preserved. Le Petit Meunier in Messimy is located in a 19th-century mill where the water wheel continues to turn during service. These establishments also offer different sensory experiences. At La Table en Braille, the meal takes place in complete darkness, served by a visually impaired team. Oto Oto mimics the atmosphere of Japanese izakayas with low tables and rice paper partitions. Les Fils à Maman relies on nostalgia for the 1980s-1990s with its home-style cuisine and retro decor. From the baroque of La Nef des Fous to the Ethiopian specialties of Messob served on injera, these restaurants combine French or international cuisine with settings that add an extra dimension to the meal.
