Le Sacré Coeur des Pentes

Nestled at 22 rue Pouteau, in the bustling 1st arrondissement, Le Sacré Cœur des Pentes is a true sanctuary of Lyon's warm conviviality. In this history-filled venue where locals have been gathering since the 1970s, the authentic charm of the Croix-Rousse's historic stone walls blends seamlessly with a festive and relaxed atmosphere. It is the dream hideout for foodies, curious minds, and travelers seeking an authentic local experience.

Here, traditional codes are shaken up with a Surf & Turf menu that is as flavorful as it is unexpected. On the "Surf" side, seafood is the ultimate specialty. All year round, the establishment transports you to the Normandy coast with arrivals of ultra-fresh oysters (Saint-Vaast and Utah Beach Specials No. 3). Shucked to order right before your eyes, they can be enjoyed fresh and briny or gratinéed with homemade parsley butter. Whelks and cauldron-cooked shrimp complete this journey, perfect to share as tapas or on large, custom-made platters. On the "Turf" side, Brittany joins the party with homemade buckwheat galettes, including the traditional sausage galette with Côtes-d'Armor pepper. Lovers of savory meats and vegetarian delights will also enjoy platters of cured meats and aged cheeses sliced to order, homemade hummus, or a comforting cassolette of ravioles in a truffled cream sauce.

Beyond the plate, people come here to feel the vibrant pulse of a true urban "guinguette." The bar offers a fine selection of wines, artisanal soft drinks, and local, organic draft beers. The venue regularly comes alive during memorable themed nights, like Flamenco shows that transform the cozy space into a warm cabaret. Finally, the must-try Happy Hour (from 5 pm to 7 pm) wins everyone over with the perfect combo: 3 oysters + 1 glass of white wine at a mini price.
