3.5 stars! At one end of the Les Halles food market is…read moreGiraudet, one of the only food stalls serving prepared quenelles, which are dumplings made by boiling a batter of flour mixed with various other ingredients, including fish and meat. There are only a few bar seats around the small stall, and the servers running the place were so friendly and helpful. For lunch, I ordered the set menu that came with a large soup and fried rounds of quenelle on the side. The soup I selected was a deliciously creamy mushroom soup, which was fresh, hearty, and warming. I also tried the large salad with quenelle, which consisted of greens, confit tomatoes, and parmesan cheese, all tossed in a simple vinaigrette. The crawfish quenelle rounds almost acted like croutons with a deep seafood flavor! The set menu also came with a dessert selection, and I got the berry financier, a tiny baked cake that was doughy and not overly sweet. Overall, a nice place for a fresh, quality lunch, though the prices were high for the portion sizes. You can also buy a selection of the quenelles and soups refrigerated to take home!

While we were walking around Les Halles, we noticed Giraudet at the end of a row. They had a sign…read moreabout an aged comte product and something with truffles (I'm a big fan of both), but I had no idea what they were actually offering. Turns out, it's quenelles. Luckily my phone was working so I did a quick internet search, and we bought a small assortment to try. It seems that traditionally, these are some kind of fish-based dumpling that is poached. Giraudet has fish varieties, but also has vegetarian options in a range of flavours. To me, these seemed like a large, fluffy gnocchi, but I'm sure purists would challenge me on that. They also had a range of soups in plastic jugs, which looked good but we didn't try. There was a small counter for a few people to dine in, although it's obvious that most of their business is people taking away to prepare at home. We bought two large special ones and a selection of smaller ones to try. We followed the cooking instructions and served with Bordier butter that we bought nearby at Cellerier. Delicious and very filling, a simple meal that is uniquely Lyon. The shop assistant spoke enough English that between pointing and our high-school French, we were able to understand key points. Credit cards accepted.

Items Selected: Strawberry, Biscuit, Butter Caramel,…read morePistachio Macaron Butter and Vanilla Caramels Tarte Tatin St. Honore with Crème Caramel Base Baba au Rhum Originally targeted for another day, but finding itself slotted in on Monday as an evening walk led directly past its still-open doors, Chokola par Sebastien Bouillet proved every bit what the rumors had alleged of the patisserie now spread as far as Tokyo, the products amongst the very best in any city while the service is so indifferent that one wonders how the stores even manage to make a sale. Small in size, and in a way 'overcrowded' with confections crawling up to the door plus two glass cases featuring macarons and plated desserts sitting to the right and at the back of the store, entry to Chokola is perhaps an intended case of sensory overload as notes of cocoa and sugar permeate the air, the guest at first seemingly left alone to take it all in and peruse the options but later a bit disconcerting when the staff barely acknowledges a "bonsoir" or request for assistance at the glass jars containing caramels just a few meters away. Undeterred by the ennui, largely as a result of being impressed by the craftsmanship shown in almost every concoction from tablets of chocolate to classic desserts given an upgrade through whimsical inspirations, it was finally after approximately ten minutes of gathering and boxing that 29.45€ was exchanged for nine different selections, and taking the items to the street for consumption later on the first bites of caramel proved a bit less flavorful than expected, the vanilla version a far better investment with a good melt and plenty of butter, a similar flavor profile found in the Butter Caramel macaron while the rest of the small cookies ranged from a jammy and delicious strawberry to Pistachio that was too sweet and almost 'gummy,' the latter likely a result of having sat in the case for too long. Enjoying the rest of the items after dinner while relaxing alongside the river outside the hotel, suffice it to say that by focusing on favorites there was little chance that Bouillet was going to fail in impressing a prone palate, yet as much as I anticipated enjoying the trio selected there was no way to anticipate just how good each of the three items would be - the fully saturated baba using a meringue-like topping to temper the alcohol while both the tarte tatin and St. Honore saw a traditional preparation placed atop a flaky butter crust, the former absolutely packed with caramelized apples while the balls of stuffed choux and light cream rested on a crème caramel that poured forth just seconds after fork cracked the base.
