Background - Yelp lead us to this place.
Atmosphere - Located on a small street that was filled with restaurants. Rustic, this single word describes the place perfectly. Maybe tight does too, we had to move the table to get in and out.
Food
Drink - Carlsberg beer from a bottle.
Dinner - Gratin d'andouillette du "Pere Fillion", or in English Chitterling's pork sausage in gratin with mustard sauce. I have to say I never had this before. When I received my meal it was really not what I was expecting the potatoes where shredded and made into a pie. I single slice sat in the middle of the hot bowl. The pork and mustard combo was poured in around the gratin. It seemed more like small slivers of pulled pork than sausage. I love a good mustard but in this dish it was over powering.
Dessert - Chocolate mousse, very rich but that is how it should be down.
Service - Two men were running the front of the house. It might be small but the place was packed. Neither spoke English but we all managed to get by.
Future - Sure.
I loved this place. Straight up loved. Came here on a Sunday. And despite my French consisting of "please" and "thank you" they were super nice. The chef came out twice to make sure everybody was happy and doing well.
The omelette appetizer in crayfish sauce was otherworldly. Omelette was fluffy and light and the sauce was rich and luxurious. I used all the bread to eat every last bit of the sauce. And when the chef saw that I had some extra sauce he encouraged me to eat it all and brought me some extra bread. They were also quick to refill the great wine on tap that they had. Very reasonably priced too.
For my main dish, I had pork. It was simmered in another amazing sauce and served with potatoes. Truly decadent. I licked my fingers. After that was the cheese. St. Marcellin. Now I already liked cheese, but this was unreal. So good that I got it at every other restaurant that served it. However Aux Trois Cochons was the most generous with their portion.
I want to go back like now.
We were only in Lyon for 3 days, with business plans for 1 day already. While we wanted to eat as much variety as possible, we ended up eating dinner and lunch the next day at Aux Trois Cochons. The food was excellent. During dinner, I had the ravioli with creme de St Marcellin. It was fabulous. We had to return the next day for a couple more bowls. We got there late and were almost turned away, but a lady that worked there recognized us and told the waiter to serve us. (THANK YOU!!!). We are already planning our next trip to France. If we make it back to the wonderful city of Lyon, we will definitely dine here again. Great food. Great people. The chef even came out and talked to us.
Very good French bistro style. The three of us ate quenelles which were delicious. They have decent dessert and they even add pralines to their ile flottant. Overall a very good place to bring visitors.
How could one go wrong with an array of pork products ? Isn't it said that if you eat something Pork-ish once a day then you'll keep the doctor away, because I know that apple thing is a myth...
Aux Trois Cochons is a restaurant owned by one of those "Chabert et Fils" places- but yet so different. The night we went, it was quite a busy night for this little restaurant laden area, but there was no intensive wait. The Menu was about €25 and offered a starter, or "entrée" of a Salade Lyonnaise.
For those who are Lyonnaise, or French, this is a typical plate. For visitors it is: A wonderful plate of frisée lettuce leaves tossed with a mild mustard vinaigrette and a poached egg. Aux Trois Cochons tops it with thick chunks of smoked bacon which makes it decadent- like pig candy.
The main plate, "main plat", was a well cooked leg of chicken atop a perfectly cooked rice and a thick sauce. The sauce resembles a butter reduced white wine sauce- totally mouth watering, and HUGE portion.
The fromage (cheese plate, comes before dessert) I chose was a little st. Marcelin, and for dessert a moist and chewy slice of a choclate torte, topped with "crème anglaise" which is simply sweetened condensed milk.
Paired with a bottle of their caverne wine... this meal was incredible.
Recommended to all.
Lieu typique et convivial avec une déco très sympa autour de la « cochonnaille » 😁. Un bouchon lyonnais comme on l’imagine, parfait! Une adresse à connaître ou l’on ne se trompe pas!!
Un bouchon parfait pour une petite sortie entre amis si l’on a envie d’un bouchon. La serveuse est au top et souriante. Les plats correspondent aux attentes.

Accueil très chaleureux, notamment par la serveuse. Le cadre, la déco sont sympas, on est un peu serré ... mais, normal c'est un bouchon. La cuisine est correcte, ainsi que l'addition. Bien aimé le Mâcon blanc en pot.
Accueil pas très chaleureux mais tout ce que nous avons mangé était très bon et bien présenté.
Bonne ambiance, bon service, sympa.
Et les mets très bons. Mon première bouchon Lyonnais, j'ai bien aimé.
Je n' ai jamais donner mon avis sur ce restaurant mais cela fait plusieurs fois que j'y mange et franchement je ne suis jamais déçu. Une bonne cuisine Lyonnaise comme j' aime, du personnel avec le sourire et qui en plus se souviennent de vous, c est vraiment agréable. Les plats sont excellents. Je recommande vivement a tous d'y aller.
Un cadre authentique, plafonds bas, du bois et la vieille horloge qui marque les quarts d'heure. J'ai beaucoup aimé mon gratin d'andouillette et la tarte à la praline maison. Léa tout avec un service sympathique et attentif.
