The short food list features award-winning baguettes and a variety of local cheeses and produce. Yet the true gem of this bar is owner/proprietor Durnez. He's a multi-lingual world traveler, wine sommelier and expert on local wines, liquors, champagnes, travel advice, local products and an all-around great guy. Recently opened and featuring 12pm-12am hours, traffic is light during lunch and most weekdays and picks up later and the weekends. A visit or two made my trip to Lyon perfect and gave me excellent information on local sites, great conversation and travel assistance. Next time I'm in town I'll be there.

Despite multiple requests, water never made it to our table, nor did our order apparently make it to the bartender. Cool hotel bar, solid drinks, but service that leaves you feeling oddly parched.

Rue de Laurencin houses a cluster of the Thomas restaurants which are one next to the other or across the street and when you choose to go to one you can sometimes choose items from them all. Our waitperson was so sweet and helpful- she would literally run to the other kitchens to request items for us. Delicious champagne from "Thomas" across the street paired perfectly with our three starters from the cold menu: octopus salad, marinated shrimp (crevettes) and the anchovies. All three were wonderful Our fabulous pluma patra negra (a grilled steak that tasted as if slightly dredged in flour) and our grilled octopus also came from Thomas which is the most upscale of the restaurants. They were both outstanding. The star was a plate of delectable razor clams (couteaux gratiné) which were grilled and served in their shells with delicious herbs and oil. They were phenomenal and we could have eaten four plates of them. We greedily mopped up the leftover sauce from the shells with bread. We finished the meal with a pain perdu that tasted slightly of apples and was wonderful- hot and a slight chew in places. We fought for the last bites. All in all a magical meal in Lyon- I'll yearn for a return soon.

There was only one other Yelp review when we came here. Atmosphere - On a small side street, but the trip is worth it. When you arrive you enter in the bar and greeted. We were directed to the dining room the right. We were there for three hours and the only ones in the dining room. We did arrive early as the kitchen was not open. It was fine we had drinks to tide us over. Food Drinks - I had Maredsous 6° Blonde, which I enjoyed. At the end of the night we were offered drinks the owner's mother made. There was a homemade limoncello and an orange-cello. I had the orange flavored liquor, it was tasty. Appetizer - We had some free tortilla chips and salsa. Dinner - Boeuf for me one. Yes I had more steak during this European vacation. The steak was cooked to medium as I ordered it. Loved the seasoning on it. Desert - Fromage, a small plate of different cheeses, nuts, and raisins. Perfect way to end all the food. Service - Sure we were the only one in the dining room but the bar behind me was bustling. Our waiter was also the owner. We practiced our French and he worked on his English skills. Okay I just sat back and listened as I have zero French skills. I was already to place my order in French, one word I had to say and I choked. I ended up saying it in English. When I got the puzzled looked I was able to say "Boeuf" with Julia Child saying Boeuf Bourguignon my head. Future - Yes please, the owner was great to visit with.

Because we were early our waiter was also the owner. He was so lovely. We attempted to speak in French and he attempted to speak in English. At some point we played a little charades to get to "goat cheese" and it was very funny. The cocktails were delicious. The food was homestyle french eating and was oh so good! At the end of the dinner he brought us out his moms homemade lemoncello as a digestif. We laughed, drank, ate and enjoyed a leisurely evening. Great place!!!
