If you want the best Asian food in Lyon, I’d point you to a park where every Saturday and Sunday an illegal produce and food market is held. Authentic Cambodian, Chinese, and Vietnamese street food abounds. You can find fresh produce, green onions, basil, herbs, etc.

There are options like coffee, tea, papaya salad, noodles, rice cakes in coconut sauce, sweet soup, BBQ ginger beef and sausage, fried chicken with fish sauce, fried potatoes, and sesame balls with a soybean filling.

The food is served on classic plastic tables, cooked right there in the park, and consumed on stools. Each stand is operated by a family who has their system down for quickly disassembling and bringing everything back to their car if the police show up.

The market is in the Grand Parc Miribel Jonage, Google pin：https://maps.app.goo.gl/MNhwxZGFkWSN5oWW6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy
