Cheap & tasty fried noodles, udon or noodles soups - every which way (meat, seafood, vegetarian) - a massive, speedily served plateful for under 4 pounds.
Not to mention the charms of the Cutty Sark & Greenwich park on the doorstep. Top tip: don't order starters, very few people manage to finish their main courses as it is.

The most incredible chocolate shop (try the superlative dark chocolate ganache filled and gold-leaf sprinkled speciality) and next-door salon de thé serving exquisite patisseries and petits fours. A great place for a restorative cup of tea/hot chocolate, sadly in the company of the Lyonnais Sloany set when we went.

A decent non-chain, centrally located choice, with professional service, just off place Bellecour, ideally situated for shopping, restaurants and sightseeing.
The usual cost 145 Euros a night including breakfast (can be served in your room at no extra charge) and tax may be somewhat steep, however at weekends you can get 2 nights for the price of one with the nationwide bon weekend en villes promotion.

A typical bouchon Lyonnais, centrally located, with friendly service and all the local specialities on a 27 Euro 4 course menu: saucisson chaud, cervelle de canut, foie gras, saint marcellin cheese and amazing beaujolais cru wines selected by the chef (house red Chénas for an excellent 15 Euro). Unlike many bouchons, it is open on weekends & holidays & you can even eat outside (terrace heating outside Summer).
