    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.

    Where do I even begin? This was hands down, without question, the best dining experience I have…read moreever had and likely ever will. I had some last minute unplanned travel changes that landed me in Lyon for a few days. Being the gastronomic capital of France, I wanted to dine at as many Michelin Star restaurants as I could. As fortune would have it, I only had a day or two in advance, so I was only able to reserve a table at one. That meant I had time to visit a little restaurant my friend told me I absolutely HAD to try. I'm so glad I took his advice. Words can't do justice to how truly incredible it was, but I'll do my best to describe my experience... Atmosphere: 5 The restaurant was very nice but not pretentious. The kind of place you could go to dressed up for a very special occasion or dressed casually for a delicious lunch. I was dressed very casually and felt as welcome as the man dressed to the nines a few tables from me. Service: 5 I don't typically write reviews about service because, frankly, I care much more about the food. However, the service here was so above and beyond excellent, I had to include it. My waiter was not only incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but was genuinely kind. I could really tell how much he cared about me and my experience and how passionate he was about the food he was serving. I had similar positive interactions with the rest of the staff as well. In fact, the chef personally reached out to me on Instagram to thank me for mentioning them in my stories. How cool is that?! Food: 5 I honestly don't know how to even put the food into words. It was indescribably delicious. Every aspect of the meal, from start to finish, was absolutely perfect. No exaggeration, my brain released so much dopamine in response to the meal, I legitimately felt high for at least an hour afterwards. I didn't even know food could do that. It was really that good. In conclusion: I cannot recommend this restaurant more highly. It's been over a year since I've been and I still think about it almost daily. I feel no need to return to Lyon except to eat here again. You can bet I'll go well out of my way to return. If you have an opportunity, GO! To the staff, thank you SO much for everything. Dining with you was by far the best part of my trip to France. I can't wait to see you again someday soon!

    Certainly one of the best meals I've ever had in my lifetime. We walked in and were immediately…read moregreeted by a very friendly waiter who owns the restaurant with his wife - it's french italian fusion because they are french and italian if i recall correctly. My mom and i got the three course tasting menu with a wine pairing - I got the octopus and my mom got the quail (you didn't pick the appetizer) for dessert i got the marscapone heart and my mom got the cheese plate. The octopus was FABULOUS - tender but not mushy and full of flavor. The wine pairing was literal perfection - every wine paired flawlessly with the dish I was impressed. Seriously floored by how well all of the flavors went together. The appetizer was some carrot dish that was phenomenal - I'd have no problem getting my veggies in if they were all prepared like this. The quail was also so delicious tender and flavorful. The marscapone heart was lovely as was the cheese plate. I cannot rave about this restaurant enough. Perfect perfect perfect cuisine in a lovely little restaurant with wonderful, welcoming decor. I would come back to Lyon just to eat here. Fabulous. immaculate. wonderful. One of my all time favorite restaurants. I adore this restaurant.
