They have not only the best hamburger in Lyon, but they're the best hamburgers I've had in a long time. A friend of mine and I decided on the spur of the moment to get a burger. I had seen this new place not far from where we were, so we tried it. They make everything from scratch, including their own buns. The hamburger meat is a local French beef with 5% fat, and very juicy. They favor seasonal condiments. The fries are to die for, made from fresh potatoes. Their website explains that they are done in the Pont Neuf style, thicker than shoestring fries, double dipped in the fryer, and seasoned with fine table salt and fleur de sel. Pont Neuf alludes to the first fries sold in France on the bridges (ponts) of Paris in the eighteenth century. A few days later my friend confessed that she had been so haunted by the burger that she'd had two since then. So I had to confess that I ordered them again for delivery that very same day!
Guy is not pronounced like the English word, rather it's pronounced like "ghee". If you don't speak French you should know that you are supposed to pick out your drink from the cooler and order at the counter.

OMG Dori thank you for sharing this! I went with a group of friends (who are all familiar with my home made burgers which are out of this world) and they all loved it. You can taste the top quality ingredients in every bite! The burgers are a bit pricy, but well worth it.
I'm so glad you liked it!
Didn't liked it. Beef quality was average and way too much ketchup.
Hmmm.... If you can make a burger better than that I'd like to meet you :)
Hi Dori,
Thanks for posting this - they look so good that I will probably check it out this week. Zinc Zinc also has a fantastic burger and fries - it will set you back about €15 but it's worth it.
