(Last visited 11/4/2021.) In Lyon on business and staying at the Crowne Plaza, but I don't feel…read morelike digging the car out of the parking garage underneath, I walk behind the hotel to check out what's there and this is what I found... Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the back alley pedestrian street behind the Crowne Plaza is this gem. It's a beautiful mojito bar that's wonderfully decorated with an open concept floor plan. The drop-ceiling was a lil' underwhelming, but the artifacts spread around the walls along with the floor-standing art definitely helped out a lot. The music was chill and big chairs were comfortable. Service: Kevin took care of us and he was okay. It could've been the language barrier, but I ain't trippin'. He was busy and running around all over the place so I cut him some slack. Food: I went with this Mexican combination plate. On it was some onion rings, a small salad, a taco, a quesadilla, 2 wings, guacamole and tortilla chips. Every single thing on the plate was very underwhelming. I mean... what did I really expect from a Mexican restaurant in Lyon, France? I don't know, but I certainly wouldn't order that again. My co-worker said he really enjoyed his double-cheeseburger. Value: My plate was 15€. I mean, I guess. This place isn't expensive, but it's closer to the cheaper and more affordable side. In conclusion, I wouldn't come back here. It was fine for what it was and for not having to drive anywhere, but in the spirit of supporting local businesses, check this place out if you're in the area. Hopefully you have a better experience and enjoy some better food than I had!

It was a sampler of a taco, onion rings, chicken wings and small burrito with chips. I never thought nothing could taste good on a sampler dish but I was wrong. In addition the mojito royal was like no mojito I ever tasted. Each of us took sip and hard pass. Mint was on sticks instead of muddled, no sweetness and tasted like old carbonated water. They offered to get us a different dish but all confidence was lost. Still paid and barely touched.

On top of that, we were eating with a vegetarian and the only vegetarian dish on the menu was not available. This waiter told her to "eat meat" in French when she doesn't speak French AT ALL. SHE IS VEGETARIAN! Served very late. Food is bad quality for the price (29 EUR). We got moved to different seats twice despite reservation. The elder group sitting next to us was a group of 2 and were seated in a table good for 2. SO WEIRD. Never eating in thsi place again unless they have good service. This is a place that doesn't know HOW to do BRUNCH. ____ Très mauvais service. Je parle du serveur qui est assis et vous explique comment le concept est, et puis vous dit de se hâter car le service se termine à 14:00. En plus de cela, nous étions manger avec un végétarien et le seul plat végétarien sur le menu n'était pas disponible. Ce garçon lui a dit de "elle faut manger de la viande" en français quand elle n'a pas du tout parles francais. ELLE EST VÉGÉTARIENNE! Servi très tard. La nourriture est de mauvaise qualité pour le prix (29 euros). Nous avons été transférés à différents sièges deux fois malgré réservation. Le groupe aîné assis à côté de nous était un groupe de 2 et nous étions assis dans une table bon pour 2. Tellement étrange. Ne jamais manger à thsi place à moins d'avoir un bon service. C'est un endroit qui ne sait pas comment BRUNCH.

Ordered one fish and chip and one burger. Got two fish and chips…read more Took the second back but watched 4 burgers come out before my spouse got his and by then I was done.

The space is intimate, with cute shelves of books, jars of preserved foods, wine glasses. They also have 2 counter seats that look into the kitchen. The rest of the tables are intended for 2-4 people, though I suppose you could push together some of the tables for 2. The glass wine list was small (about 2 sparkling, 3 whites, 3 reds, rose, beer). They had a more extensive list by the bottle. They do an 8 course for €59 (including VAT and service), which is a hot deal. There's one menu per night, but they can work with dietary restrictions / food allergies if needed. 1. Curd of milk, autumn broth, smoked onion, black currants, lovage, leaves, quince: nice and light, with a focus on the fresh quince. 2. Gravalax with pollen and grated daikon with rice powder on top. 3. Roasted cabbage: caramelized cabbage with roasted wheat vinaigrette, grilled tofu skin, mung bean sprouts. Very flavorful for a vegetable dish. 4. Cocos de paimpol: white beans with fresh and fermented cepe, coffee powder, and cepe powder. Hearty and good for the fall. 5. Roasted monkfish, crumbled pumpernickel, tamarind hollandaise. Or Roast beef cap with 3 types of pickles, Brazilian bread crumb condiment. Of the main dishes, the beef was the winner for me. Add on: Cheese plate (€9) or 3 French cheese (a goat cheese, a brie, and a Beaufort). Transition: House black currant infusion (non alcoholic) 6. Kiwi, green olives, absinthe granita, citrus, herbs - who would have thought olives and kiwi would make a great combination? It was very refreshing 7. Chocolate ice cream, hazelnut biscuits, mushroom chips, mushrooms, and dark chocolate shavings. I didn't ever think mushrooms and chocolate would work together, but the earthiness of the mushrooms worked well with the mushrooms 8. To finish: - Salted caramel biscuit with vinegar whipped cream - Brazilian chocolate: like a chocolate caramel Service was also very friendly and more than I expected for a less formal place (ex they folded the napkins when I went to the restroom). After days of heavy eating, I really appreciated this more seasonal, vegetable focused menu. I especially appreciated the desserts - super creative combinations that worked - green olive + kiwi; chocolate + mushrooms.
