    One of our best meals in Lyon, even President Marcon dined here on the same night we were there…read more Its upscale, especially if you eat indoors. Lots of suits and well dressed people (dresses, jackets and slacks, etc). We had come after the Women's World Cup so was a tad under dressed, but they were polite and kind and said it was ok to dine there. PLAT: A few got the salad lyonnaise. The lardons are huge, it's a meal in and of itself. The croutons are crispy and butter nuggets of delicious carb. The poached egg is done to perfection. The lettuce is frisse so it delicate. They have a plat and entree size, and the plat was generous (it was a deep bowl!) The burrata came with ratatouille, which was also generous in portion. It's very rich, oh so creamy and cool and tasty. The ratatouille had a nice deep rich tomato base and the vegetables (in cubes vs circular slices) had a nice structure to hold up well to the creamy cheese. Also shareable. Last plat was the foie grais pate. That crust is so buttery, flakey and delicious. The pate was equally good. It came with cornichons and salad on the side. This was sharable too, but I didn't ;) ENTREE: The star entree was the poulet (chicken) stew. It's 100% comfort food that you can't stop eating until everything is gone. In addition to chicken, there were carrots and potatoes. The beef tartare was wonderful, rich, robust, little bit of heat (I think tabasco?). It was also a generous amount. It came with sliced potatoes. The steak and potatoes came with a rich, brown sauce to drizzle over the steak. So, so, so good. Between the chicken stew sauce/gravy and the brown sauce, there were so many delicious flavors around. Last entree was the sweetbreads, so tender, perfectly prepared, very delicate. MUST SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT. If you are a chocolate lover, the chocolate financier (cake) was so rich (think ganache) but not overly sweet. Chocolate lovers will be transported. As it was during a blistering heatwave through parts of Europe, I went with the meringue. Light, airy, crispy with the sweetest strawberries and raspberries. I'm not the biggest fans of raspberries but these seem to have sugar filled in the center (it didn't, but that sweetness was so perfect). then there is the marshmellow/praline/ice cream dish, which I have no clue what the name is. We saw it coming out of the kitchen and knew we had to have it. GET IT, again, this is if you want something other than chocolate. If you love chocolate and can enjoy a rich dessert after a spectacular meal, the chocolate cake is out of this world. the one thing is that the menu only has the plat/entree. For drinks/dessert, the waiter reads it off to you from memory. The challenge with this is you don't know the prices until the bill comes.

    We were a large group with a last minute reservation and this establishments stepped up to our…read morerequirements. The service was lovely, the large banquet style room was beautiful and the food was delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic meal in Lyon, you will not be disappointed.

    We've been going to L'Estaminet for many years. Our dinner this night was horrible and a…read moretremendous disappointment from the past. My wife had the mussels and each one was either tiny (yes a fingertip at most) or wasn't open. I had the perche and it was a fraction of the size from the past without much flavor. We asked the server if the restaurant had changed and he said the owner had changed within the last year. Avoid this place if you liked it in the past!

    TIP: It's closed Sunday and Monday…read more Due to Yelp reviews being positive, we wanted to come here and finally was able. The service is friendly. The ambience rustic, down home, pub-ish (good cool vibe). Lots of seating, both indoor and outdoors. They have two outdoor seating areas ... the back with the 'river' view and the front is on the promenade (fun for people watching). The food was very tasty. Salmon Tartar: This was more for American' tastebuds ... mango and mango puree, generous chunks of avocado and fresh grapefruit segments. Very California. Delicious and light. Came with fries, which were a little under seasoned and cold (that was the case for all the fries we ordered as I think they make them in big batches as it's the typical accompaniment for most entrees). ESTA burger: Super flavorful, never thought of pairing it with tartar sauce. Must like tartar sauce, but if you do, YUM! The bun was toasted to perfection and held up nicely to the juice patty. Fresh green lettuce gave it the freshness and crisp too. Mussels with bacon and beer: That broth .... yum! You'd want to drink it; they give you a spoon so they know you want to drink it too. Dunk the bread into it to soak up the yummy salty, briny, addicting goodness. The mussels were plump and fresh too. Forgot the name, but its a sausage with cheese (raclette?) casserole. Salty, meaty, hearty, rich and filling. Order a side salad to cut the richness. It was very good, but I wouldn't be able to eat all of it due to how filling and cheesy it is. Good place, glad we came. Pix to come!
