Opened over 100 years ago, this Belle Epoque style restaurant located inside the train station Gare de Lyon was recently restored and brought back to its former glory. This decadent locale preserves the charm of a bygone era with painted ceilings, gilt stucco and luggage racks throughout. For a more relaxed experience, forgo the main restaurant and check out the less formal restaurant bar.
