L'Étoile Opéra Details

L'Étoile Opéra is a great spot to check out while in Lyon whether you are stopping in for the day or popping in for a night cap. One of the best attributes of the place is the outdoor terrace, which is the perfect spot to savor a large plate of cheese and fruits or sink your teeth into one of their famous juicy burgers. With a Kir Royale in hand, you're set for a fabulous day or night. The terrace is heated during the winter and is also dog-friendly if you have some furry babies. The space is also handicap-accessible if in need.
