We didn't mean to dine on Argentinian food while we were in Lyon, but we stumbled upon this…read morerestaurant after the place we initially wanted to go was full. It was Friday night and we didn't make a reservation and this place was just around the corner with wonderful Yelp reviews, so why not? We came in quite late (21.30) and the guy cheerfully received us. Although we got nothing else but friendly treatments during our stay in Lyon, there's something else about South American hospitality, we felt welcomed immediately. My boyfriend ordered a set of empanadas while I ordered veal escalope (watch out for the wrong English translation in the menu!) that was very GOOD but very BIG. He probably was wondering why my boyfriend ordered a meagre set of food while I ordered the jumbo portion LOL I couldn't finish my veal, but it was super good, I wish I had more place in my stomach for the nice food. I have never been to Argentina, but considering the number of Spanish-speaking people dining there, I could tell that they were all happy about the food.

It looked rather unassuming from the street, but this restaurant was charming inside, with a…read morewonderful waiter (the owner, perhaps?) and fantastic food. Both the empanadas and the steaks were terrific, and the chimichurri and the aji sauces were great compliments to the food. I will definitely come here again if I return to Lyon.

Don't let the other reviews scare you about reservations. I got a reservation on my phone right…read moreafter getting off the train in Lyon. It was a cold Monday evening so maybe that's why. Just clicked the link to their website in the yelp app and filled out the reservation info. After a long day of flying, exploring Paris, and taking the high speed train, I was hungry. I was looking for a good place that I could eat by myself. This place was a short walk from the train station (I wheeled my luggage). I chose to eat outside so it wouldn't be awkward inside with my giant suitcase. Even though I made my reservation for 830pm, they seated me at 8pm when I arrived. I chose 1 of each of the categories on the menu. To my surprise the serve brought me a declious cucumber salad as an amuse bouche.

When in Lyon, one thing I look forward to so much is food! Lyon is foodie's heaven. I've been so…read morelucky to run into so many great restaurants at every visit to Lyon and this place was no exception. Prior to arriving Lyon, I searched and searched. Used google translate to read reviews in French from different sites. Made reservation and we were the first customers that night. They have good selection of local wines at reasonable price. I really enjoyed their wine. Course meal is 27€ per person including appetizer, main and desert. Since I couldn't pick what I wanted, they decided to give me small potion of everything. Everything I ate was so good, no wonder why they are so popular among locals. Yes this place is located in the middle of residential area, you need to know it's here to come here. Walking distance from the Lyon train station. One lady spoke excellent English and it was so helpful and she assisted our table so well. Highly recommend for great dinner at a such a reasonable price. My love for Lyon food continues...
