It's tucked away on a small street just off the river, with a sign outside that just says G. The concept is basically sliders, but the fanciest, best tasting sliders I've ever had! There is an extensive menu with about 100 options, both meat and vegetarian, and they even had an English translation handy, in case your French brain isn't working. I chose a ham+chèvre, a fois gras + fig chutney, and a chicken + pesto. All this, along with a bottle of Hoegaarden, came to less than 10 euros! The sandwiches were ready in about 5 minutes, and they were delicious! Especially the ham one, it was tops. I liked the fig chutney as well. Overall, a great quick and filling lunch stop on a tour of Lyon. And if it's a nice day, you can also get your food to go (à emporter) and sit on the grassy lawn outside!

A must-try when in Lyon!…read more What a cool restaurant in the heart of Lyon surrounded by many other fine establishments. This one stands out for its commitment to great service and outstanding sandwiches (tartines/toast) hot and cold. The decor here is beautiful with the stonework inside with quite a few tables as well as tables outside. Our server was outstanding, we ordered wine, cider, foie gras and egg salad tartines, and a couple of desserts. The toasts were excellent. The raspberry dessert was too mushy and the coconut dessert too dry. But we will be back for more tartines and to try their burgers.

Only one waitress spoke English, and she wasn't serving us - however she did explain about the different specials of the day. Our actual waiter was super nice and patient as we ordered and the food was amazing. We chose one tartine each (party of 3) and cut them into thirds so we could each sample everything. - Tomato burrata tartine with balsamic: very fresh, pretty much what you would expect from a tomato/mozz sandwich - The special that I ordered was pork with polenta and olives. It was amazing!!!!! - Croque Monsieur was also tasty - ham with tomato and cheese. We shared potatoes gratin and a bottle of wine. Really nice meal in a traditional Lyonnaise cafe. Cobblestone streets and adorable awnings - so picturesque!

We went on a Friday at 3:30pm and there was only one other person in front of us in the store. The workers speak English and are super kind and friendly! We got the pain au chocolat and butter croissant. The pastries here are, in my opinion, a great price (less than 4 euro total for both). The pain au chocolat had an ample amount of chocolate inside, was crispy on the inside, and soft on the inside. The butter croissant was airy and flaky. There are plenty of other pastry options within the shop to choose from - would definitely recommend stopping by if in Lyon!

I stopped by around 1pm on a Monday and there was about 3-4 people in front of me, but it moved quickly. The staff were super friendly, and they spoke English as well. They had so many delicious looking pastries and savory items. I'd heard that Lyon is known for this pastry, brioche praline, so I wanted to try it out. I personally wasn't a fan of the taste. Just not my cup of tea, but I'm sure the other pastries were good. I'd come back and try other items.

(True story. And yes, I have time to go get a sandwich and come back.) I wish I had known about this little boulangerie all the times I had a 30 minute stopover at Part Dieu before I moved here. (I ate at Quick instead, if you must know.) It's a few minutes walk from the train station (exit on the west side, the same side as the Centre Commercial, and go right.) Here's what I like: The viennoiseries. Croissants, yum. Pain aux raisins, YUM. Enough said. The sandwiches. There's a line out the door at lunchtime, so you know these sandwiches are famous in the 'hood. I'm a fan of the curry sandwich and the rosette/cornichon one. What am I not a fan of? The Indian sandwich. Soggy tomatoes make me sad. Sad that I didn't choose a different sandwich. En gros: Je suis fan... du pain aux raisins et du sandwich curry. Je suis pas fan... du sandwich Indien.

The Flammkuchen is nothing more than dough baked in an open-fire oven with toppings. Sounds like pizza? Yes, but with no tomatoes. As for the desserts, they were somewhat tasty but really nothing more. The advantage of this restaurant is that it is really one of the very few in the neighborhood. When you think that they are across the street from one of Lyon's popular cinemas, I can't explain why they are not open at the week-end when most people go to the movies and would love to grab a bite afterwards.
