Practical tips
Most of these establishments are in the 6th arrondissement, easily accessible via metro lines A and D (Masséna, Foch or Garibaldi stations). For addresses in Villeurbanne, tram T1 or bus C26 are recommended. Remember to check the specific opening hours, especially for TODA and O’LAFFA, which close on certain evenings or on Monday. A reservation is recommended for Fifty & Five given its limited capacity and growing popularity.
