OL Brasserie

Inside Terminal 1, OL Brasserie flies the Olympique Lyonnais flag

Right in Terminal 1, OL Brasserie leans hard into the local football obsession. The décor carries OL colors and logos, so it feels more like Stade Groupama than a generic airport bar. It sits landside in the public zone of T1, so you can eat here even if you’re just dropping someone at Lyon Saint‑Exupéry and not flying.

Service usually runs from late morning into the evening, roughly covering the main bank of departures from Terminal 1 between about 10:00 and 21:00. Hours can shift with the schedule, so late night Ryanair or easyJet passengers should check before counting on a hot meal. Being in T1 keeps it handy if you’re on airlines like easyJet or Transavia using that terminal on a given day.

Expect typical French brasserie pricing: a main plate often lands in the €16–€22 range, with burgers and club sandwiches near the lower end and steak or fish higher. Coffee sits in normal Lyon café territory, around €2–€3 for an espresso, while soft drinks push closer to €4–€5 as usual for airports. It’s not a budget stop, but it’s within the standard LYS terminal price band.

Food leans classic brasserie: steak‑frites, salads, burgers, plus a few OL‑branded specials that change with the season. If you want something quick before a Schengen hop out of T1, a burger or club sandwich is the safer play than a heavier steak when boarding starts in 30–40 minutes. Portions run decent by airport standards, enough to skip buying extra snacks at the gate.

There’s seated service and a bar, so it works for a 30–45 minute sit‑down if your security wait in Terminal 1 looks light. Screens usually show sports, and when OL plays, it turns into home turf. Final tip: if your flight leaves from Terminal 2, give yourself at least 20 extra minutes to walk back and clear security there after eating.
