A real Lyonnais bouchon experience where trying all the classics won't break the bank!…read more Hidden on a little side street amidst other restaurants tailored to locals, chez George really delivers that's authentic Bonchon experience you've been looking for. You can expect the classical checkered table clothes, a tight seating arrangement where the person sitting next to you is a complete stranger (that you'll get to chat and know along the evening) and a boisterous chef that welcomes you and comes to check on you many times during the meal. The menu has all the classics and you can even afford to try them all in one sitting without exploding the bank. However, if you eat everything, your tummy might explode ;) Given it was our last night, we went for 'la totale'. The plate of cold cuts was packed tightly with generous servings of terrine, pate de foie gras, saucisson. The quenelle was so fluffy and well souffled that it was like a pillow in your mouth. The tripes although not for everyone, satisfied our desire for offals. The andouillette was crispy on the outside and served with a well flavoured mustard sauce. All in all, for four hearty dishes, 2 glasses of kir and a 46cl bottle of wine, the total came up to 78€! Reservations highly recommended :)

We arrived a little late for our reservation at 7.30, I had thought I had booked 8pm but apparently…read moremy res was at 7.15pm. My mistake, I apologized. We were abruptly told by a little rude waiter that we were late, he made such a fuss I thought he was going to say he couldn't seat us but then he gave us a table in the corner outside! The table was uncomfortably small (we are not big people) it was cramped! We ordered some drinks and apps and within about 20 mins I had water dripping down my back and on my arms which I thought was raindrops! I realized that actually it was water leaking from the apartment drains above. The water was also hitting the table and going in our food! We asked to be moved indoor where there were tables but we were promptly told to shift to the table next to ours outside. We did so but realized more water coming down on the food! When I complained and said it's unacceptable, the waiter asked do we want a table inside? Lol, so now you have space but before you didn't! The waiter just shrugged and said it's normal when you have apartments above! Absolutely disgusting attitude and rude treatment of paying customers! We left without finishing our contaminated food! We paid for it but there was no compensation or apology! Don't bother going here, most other restaurants we went to we received excellent service and pleasant people!

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.

The waiter was super attentive and VERY nice. He suggested the cerdon, which is a local apertif of a sparkling rose wine which was tasty. My meal was non from the "menu" but he said he would make it one for me, giving me a small salad chevre chaud with the shrimp special of the day, which was very nice of him. My salad was beautiful and perfectly dressed. The shrimp was" flambe en Ricard" which is some kind of French alcohol. I am not a fan of cutting off the heads and pulling shrimp out of the shell but this was so good and the shrimp was perfectly cooked, juicy and delicious. Served on the side were perfectly cooked potatoes in a garlic parsley mix. They were so good. If I go back to Perouges with guests we will eat here for sure.

Dinner here was a strange, wonderful, and terrible experience - at once an episode of Fawlty Towers…read moreand a religious gastronomic experience. Bottom line: service so awful it was difficult to focus on food so wonderful. The evening began with our greeting at the door by Chef and Mrs. Chef (a status we infer primarily by the bickering between the two). After being seated, we waited to be offered a cocktail or wine ... And waited ... And waited. During this time, we watched Mrs. Chef stagger across the room -- she had started her consumption early - to seat a few other guests. Others who had arrived after we did were offered cocktails and given menus. And given different amuses-bouches. Finally, we snagged a passing server who brought menus and the wine list. Then we ordered a bottle of Chablis, a grand cru 2006. Mrs. Chef returned to let me know that they were out of 1er cru (which I had not ordered), but they had a nice 2007 grand cru. Fine, done. Lovely wine, very fairly priced. Food begins to arrive, after significant and seemingly random delays. But oh, what food! Beautifully, and perfectly sautéed grenouilles - a specialty of the restaurant, dripping with garlic and butter and absolutely delicious. Lamb roast with a gorgeous Duxelles-like sauce, perfectly done. And then the cheese cart. The two waitresses confess that Mrs. Chef usually does the cheese, but she is indisposed (little question why) and they don't know which cheese is which. After some guessing, cheese is chosen from a large selection - and wonderful. Finally, a dessert straight from heaven - a citrus tower to raise the dead. And we were out the door for under 190 Euros, perhaps one of the best values. In summary, after ten minutes in this restaurant, we were ready to walk out. I was glad I stayed. It has a raft of regulars who seem to know Chef and Mrs. Chef and who tolerate what is generally very unprofessional and erratic service. The food is worth a try. If Mr. And Mrs. Chef were smart, they would hire somebody to run the front-of-house for them and Chef would return to the kitchen, where he obviously has some skills, instead of spending his time hobnobbing with the guests.
