Mamasan

Mamasan is permanently closed.

Mamasan is a Vietnamese bistro in the presqu’île of Lyon, one street away from the Rhône river. The food is delicious and traditional, in a casual and low-key setup. This place quickly became one of my favourite lunch spots (even if you also can go here for dinner), as one would not expect to see such a nice wine list. The list is quite short (less than 100 different wines) but so well composed by Vladimir, the host and co-owner of the place.

The wine list mostly highlights wines from Beaujolais and Rhône but also offers a few nice names from Alsace and Loire. Also, one of the best parts: their friendly price point!
