I have come several times, at lunchtimes and in the evenings, I am never disappointed! The dishes are good, copious, well prepared, the staff is charming and adapts to exceptional requests (a gluten-free person for our group) when they are notified in advance, the setting is pleasant and the prices very reasonable… I recommend, I'll be back !

We went for lunch as it had been recommended to us.
We ordered 2 different crepes and both were delicious. The IPA beer was also excellent.
The fact that they have gluten-free options is wonderful. The atmosphere is pleasant, quiet, and the service was friendly and fast.
Took myself down to Materr for dinner my last evening in Lyon. And it was one of my favourite moments. The owner is lovely - she accommodated my gluten free needs and was wonderful to chat to! The dish I had was delicious. I sat outside and the ambience was beautifully peaceful. Would definitely recommend a visit!
We had a wonderful 3 course meal here. Great gluten free options. You could have as many courses as you liked. I had poached egg in a red wine sauce with bacon and shallots to start, sausage and potatoes for main and cheese for pudding. They were very aware of allergies as well as coeliac and I felt very safe throughout. The wine was also delicious
Essential place for celiacs in Lyon. I found it very difficult to eat gluten free in the city. Luckily there was the crêperie d'Amélie that made gluten-free galettes, both sweet and savory.
We came because my partner is celiac and we were pleased to see that the restaurant has adapted to offer her a complete menu (with at least two choices of starter, main course and dessert). The dishes were tasty, plentiful and the team was very welcoming with a smile. THANKS !

We had a very good experience at this place. We are both gluten-free and appreciated that several items were marked gluten-free. We both enjoyed our meals with no problems.
Excellent address! Unbeatable value for money, a menu that's always sophisticated and delicious, and plenty of gluten-free and lactose-free options. Delicious ❤️ everything is perfect!
Ideal for treating yourself at an unbeatable price!
Very good. Pancakes, for example banoffee or this month cherry praline coulis, are irresistible and available gluten-free. The drinks are delicious in winter and summer. Everything is homemade and it shows. The dishes are always balanced and nourishing. The service is incredible, responsive, with a sincere effort to make the moment pleasant for the customer.
2 minor downsides: some chairs are recycled (great for the environment) but that means chairs that are a little less comfortable (smaller/hard). There can sometimes be a bit of a wait because there are often people and a busy staff. Important to book in advance if possible.
I go there every week. Never disappointed
A wonderful, elegant dinner with family and friends. I felt very safe in the hands of the Epona team, as I have celiac's disease and have to eat gluten-free. Highly recommend!
Traditional French food! There was a vegetarian plate of the day, which I was able to get modified to be gluten free. The waiter spoke English and gave great service.
Very tasty new year's dinner with great service and wonderful combination of fresh ingredients and new tastes. The chef was willing to provide a gluten free version of the meal.
Very helpful staff, looking for solutions for customers with allergies to gluten, dairy products. Adapt the daily special accordingly. After 45 minutes of searching one of the only establishments listening. THANKS.
A pure moment of happiness
Everything is there, taste, quality, kindness of the owner.
Being gluten-lactose intolerant, for the first time in a long time I was able to eat like my children, I rediscovered the joy of sharing a wonderful meal
Thank you from the heart
It was perfect
I ordered a burger with a gluten-free bun (on Deliveroo) being highly intolerant.
Already the supplement is 2nd (in France it is one of the only countries where we are given gluten-free options even though it is a health problem, so it is discriminatory).
Then when I received my order, normal bread... I couldn't eat my burger. I made a complaint on Deliveroo and ended up with a refund of 0.90e (from the restaurant certainly the price of a normal bun).
Fucking shit. It would have been at least pleasant to reimburse the price of the supplement and normal to reimburse the price of the burger.
It's good to want to make gluten-free options but you have to know a little about it and manage it properly, otherwise don't bother.
Very good place to have drinks on the terrace! The savory waffles are also excellent! The service was perfect: waiter attentive and responsive according to everyone's needs (a friend being allergic to lactose and gluten, he was able to adapt!) 👌
Very nice restaurant but a little noisy, the tables are a little too close together.
The service is very attentive and helpful, which is nice.
The dishes are quite good, varied, and seasonal.
However, there was a small problem: we had specified when booking that one of our guests was eating gluten-free. Upon arrival, the waitresses immediately identified us as "gluten-free," which was very nice. BUT not all the dishes were adapted... the gluten-containing dishes were simply served without the gluten-containing item, which made the meal much less appealing (e.g., bread and butter without bread, dipping dishes without the brioche for dipping), a bit of a shame.
Nevertheless, it was a pleasant experience and not too expensive.
Really good food. They even warmed up the glutenfree bread I brought with me. Very kind people. The three ladies in the kitchen work really hard and seem really passionate about what they do. If you really want to have a great filling (cause the plates are really full) breakfast, you should really go here.
This restaurant is a great discovery! From the service to the kitchen, there are many attentions, particularly with regard to a gluten-free and lactose-free diet for which the menu has been adapted while remaining tasty in a very short time! THANKS !
Very nice home. I don't necessarily recommend that you go through TheFork because there seem to be reservation problems at times, and I don't want you to miss out on this very nice little restaurant.
A short but effective menu, quality dishes, organic and from the region, although the quantities are perhaps a little light.
The major point is above all a perfect welcome. The boss took great care, in particular by thoughtfully offering a gluten-free beer to my intolerant companion.
Absolutely sublime!
What a lovely surprise from every point of view: delicious food, everything is really perfect, the tastes, the research in the dishes and the combinations, the cooking, the delicacy of the plating...the very pretty place, very well cared for. It’s a very refined place and cuisine.
In addition, the chef and his team are very open to adapting the dishes to vegans and gluten-free guests. Very nice open-mindedness...
And there is a real ethical approach, with local and healthy products, short circuit.
I really highly recommend it and I will come back very quickly, clearly it was a nice surprise and without fail I am won over!
A big thank-you :)

Came to eat there twice, I loved it! The cuisine is very fragrant (the rougail is full-bodied but remains largely edible for a non-Mauritian palate), original, fresh. The boss is attentive and very pleasant.
The plus: We were able to eat gluten-free there without any worries. Allergens are clearly displayed
Restaurant just right to stay accessible with a menu at 49€.
A huge wine list.
Friendly team, good food and cozy atmosphere. We asked for gluten-free without the waiter looking at us askance. Great!
I will go back soon
I ordered the beef tartare, and it was spectacular. It also comes with homemade fries. The quality of the food compared to the price is very good. As a person who cannot eat gluten, I recommend it, they adapt several dishes without a problem.
We really enjoyed this restaurant, the warm welcome and the food, the explanations, and especially the "gluten-free" option they offered me: I've had celiac disease for 25 years, and it was the first time I'd been able to enjoy a dessert (a chocolate cake) because it was made with chestnut flour!!! Bravo to this restaurant for its interest in other flours used in desserts!
Thank you for people who, like me, absolutely have to avoid gluten!
It's a shame we don't live in this region!!
What a great time we had!
For our first weekend in Lyon we had the chance to eat facing the water in the “little garden”.
The welcome and advice from Geoffray "with an A" were perfect. THANKS.
The menu with all the allergens announced is a relief and rare enough to notice it when you are gluten intolerant. 👍
And of course the very copious and very good cuisine.
In short, an address that we will keep for a future stay in Lyon.
A very good French-style tapas restaurant. Warm decor, a clear menu with vegetarian and gluten-free options.
Beautifully presented, delicious, and generous plates.
A good selection of cocktails and homemade iced teas (very good).
In short, a great place at a very reasonable price!
We went here to try out a Bouchon Lyonnaise meal, and were very happy with it. I am celiac and need to make sure I eat gluten free. The waiters weren't sure what was gluten free, but were very helpful by giving me an allergen menu and asking the chef questions about the dishes. In the end I had pork sausages in a red wine sauce, and they substituted the potato gratine with regular boiled potatoes. It was delicious, and I would recommend.
Great place to have a drink or eat with friends! The concept of good court makes it possible to meet everyone's desires without problem. Special mention for the Afghan cuisine stand which allows people with gluten intolerance to eat excellent starters and main courses!
