An elegant hotel bar in Vieux Lyon consisting of a lounge, a bar and a fumoir, this hidden sanctuary is a favourite with the locals, so you know they’re doing it right.

A wooden bar, black leather barstools and candelabras…the vibe is classic (apart from the crazy backlights behind the bar), BarChick particularly digs the harlequin patterned ceiling, comfy Art Deco sofas and grand piano. Grab a seat next to the large window and spend your time peeping on to the medieval streets outside.

Be sure to drink the Tarte au Citron Meringue, a secret recipe that is topped with meringue and flambéed at your table, a total showstopper.

The atmosphere is calm and tranquil and the crowd sophisticated. Hit it for pre or post dinner drinks in beautiful surroundings.
