What if we put breakfast back at the center of the table?
In Lyon, we know where to have lunch. We know where to have dinner. We even know where to have brunch on Sundays.
In Lyon, we know where to have lunch. We know where to have dinner. We even know where to have brunch on Sundays.
But what about breakfast? The real one. The one that makes you take the time to sit down.
The one where you arrive with a rumbling stomach and a foggy mind, and leave feeling like the day is (truly) off to a great start.
A gourmet buffet open every day
At Comptoir Cecil, we figured that moment deserved more than just a coffee to go or a pastry grabbed between appointments.
So every morning, we set out a generous buffet that’s open to everyone. (Yes, even if you’re not staying at the hotel).
Because there are a thousand good reasons to come have breakfast in town.
- Meet up with a coworker before a meeting.
- Spend an hour working on your computer in a quiet place.
- Take a break after dropping the kids off at school.
- Getting together with friends before a day of shopping.
- Or simply take a moment for yourself before everything starts to pick up the pace.
At the buffet, everyone can put together their ideal breakfast.

Better than brunch in Lyon?
We’re not going to lie to you: some visitors sometimes tell us that our buffet reminds them of brunch. We get the idea. But here, there’s no Instagram-worthy avocado toast.
We serve breakfast every day. Because sometimes a Tuesday morning deserves just as much attention as a Sunday.
So the next time you’re looking for a place to start your day in a different way, come on in.
The coffee will be hot. The buffet will be waiting for you. And Lyon can certainly wait a few more minutes.
