Being in Lyon my husband and I knew we had to try French cooking from the legend and his institution. Sure the place had a mix of younger somewhat friendly waiters and more grumpy posh older waiters, but it was fun to experience French service at its pique. We ordered the fish and it was so delicate with its crispy flaky outside and perfectly moist fish. The appetizers, to the cheese trolley, to dessert trolley, and fine chocolate at the end. It literally blew us away. You definitely eat so much and that's not what I would have guessed from a Michelin star restaurant so I was very happy at the end! Merck Beaucoup Paul Bocuse team we had a fabulous time!

Very impressive food and service! Since it is part of the school, the students are very well…read moretrained and I can imagine quality control is very important. There were three of us, and we each tried to get different dishes so that we could see a more holistic picture of the restaurants offerings. I got the appetizer veal with leek, entree duck breast and dessert roasted pineapple. I'd say that the appetizer and dessert were 5/5 in taste, and all three dishes were 5/5 in presentation and execution. The duck was juicy and well done but for me there were a bit too many sweet and sour things surrounding it, such as a pickled leek and sweet turnip mash. It didn't seem well balanced I loved the roasted pineapple, it was extremely juicy and the slight char gave it a nice bitter taste to complement the sweetness. Plus the sorbet on top added a whole new level to it. I've attached the meals of the other two in my party. They got appetizer- prawns and tuna, meal - lamb and meagre (fish), and dessert- macaron and la praline. Everyone loved the meal and we wanted to come back, except today was the last day they are open until the school holidays!!

If you are looking for a hands-on cooking experience I would recommend Plum Lyon. Many other…read morecourses in Lyon, while fun, are actually demonstration only classes with no real cooking involved by the students. I have taken two Plum Lyon classes: a half day and a full day market table course. Lucy's classes appeal to a wide spectrum of people, including ex-pats and travelers looking to explore French cuisine or mothers wanting to cook for their families. She uses high quality ingredients sourced from the enviable farmer's market near her cooking school and always serves beautiful wines to accompany the meals that you prepare. The courses are all taught in English. I found Lucy's blog to be a good source of information about her school and I continue to refer to her website for inspiration and recipes after the fact. Check out her photography--they are excellent as well. Plum Lyon is located closest to the Croix Paquet metro station. Alternatively, you can walk from the Hotel de Ville metro station, which is one of the major transfer points in Lyon.

We did the market tour with lunch class. Lucy was very accommodating because we were late (mixed up…read moredays) and was able to take us to the market on another day. This is a great hands on class taught in English and a very fun experience.
