Aklé
Lyon, France
The read// why locals go
Akle is a Lebanese kitchen at 85 Rue Paul Bert where lunch arrives as a plate of colours and the evening turns to mezze built for sharing. The dining room is the heart of it, with a separate boutique and traiteur counter at the Halles Paul Bocuse and a food truck that handles events, so the restaurant itself stays a restaurant. Once a month a Saturday table is laid on as a longer, slower lunch. Mains sit around 16 euros and there are vegetarian options throughout. Three independent local sources recommend it, which in the 3rd is the kind of endorsement that comes from regulars rather than guidebooks.
