    I have to say they exceeded my expectations! If you're looking for a really tasty BBQ spot in Lyon this is it.

    (Last visited 11/9/2021.) Working in Lyon for a couple of weeks and it's time to eat, but I've had…read morea bit of French food so far so I wanted something different. So my co-worker found this place and it's a Korean BBQ style restaurant and I love those! I was so excited to show him how thing work at this style of restaurant so here goes! Atmosphere/Appearance: So right downtown Lyon located off of the main square is this gem. It's brightly lit so you can clearly see what's going on in there. The décor is pretty chill, but I loved how each vent hood was lit up with a different color. I thought that was an excellent touch. All of your grills are located toward the front of the restaurant, but the buffet where all of your raw meats and vegetables are located toward the back along with the desserts! Service: There wasn't much service since you're doing your own cooking, grilling and gathering your own food. However, how server did take good care of us. Food: I mean, you cook your own food so OF COURSE MY FOOD WAS AMAZING! Lol. It's such a good and fun experience though. You hit the buffet to grab some chicken, tofu, beefs, pork, vegetables or whatever you like, oil the grill then throw it on there! It's pretty simple. I love these kinds of spots, especially when they're buffets! Value: Merely 22€ for a buffet of all the meats, vegetables, shrimp and so much more stuff! I think this was an excellent value for sure. Just don't be wasteful! In conclusion, I'd check this place out again, but I don't often visit Lyon so I'd probably check out some more French restaurants!

    WARNING: this IS NOT Korean BBQ. This is a sad excuse of an attempt to trick people in Lyon into…read morethinking they are enjoying a Korean meal, when in fact, it's some crappy Chinese food passed off as Korean. The setup is correct; the tables and ventilation, but the food is NOT Korean AT ALL. ( it seems like it was a Korean place sold to someone else who has no damn idea what Korean food is) 1st off, they do it buffet style. (Should have left right then....) the meat is there and the lettuce, but no white rice? No red sauce? No side dishes? So we go to ask the French server. He has no idea what we are talking about. My wife spotted an Asian woman going in and out from the back so she hopped up to ask her if there was red sauce.... In Korean..... Nope- the woman wasn't Korean. So the wife asked "does anyone speak Korean?" NOPE.... Bummer.... If I have to give a rundown of the food... Fine: the meat was bulgogi, but only soaked in soy sauce. The rice was fried rice with corn, peas, and carrots. The lettuce was iceberg.... Not even the real leaves.... I'm serious- I shouldn't have to say anymore. All in all ****AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE**** Enough said.

    This is the burger house we had originally meant to go to on our first day in Lyon... Better late…read morethan never I say. The burgers here were tasty and perfectly cooked. They were a bit pricey but nothing out of the ordinary for a gourmet style burger. Just wish France would start importing some ketchup... Those fries were delicious but so much better with a bit of Heinz if you know what I mean...

    These young, up and coming chefs and restaurants in Lyon, surrounded by Michelin start restaurants,…read moreare turning up some really good food and Les Frangins is no exception. The food - They make everything in house. Nothing is refrigerated so everything is made fresh daily. The burger I got, the Classic Bacon Burger, is one of the, if not the best, burger I have had so far. Here's the kicker. While their burger is that good, the fries is probably one of the worst I've had. The fries were soggy and not crunchy, like what happens to potatoes when it's fried in oil that's not hot enough. It boiled in oil, not fried. Everything else is really good. Bun is good and not like "white bread" and mushy. Patty is good, not too thick, too juicy, not greasy, with good seasoning. The lettuce was green and crunchy. The onions we're caramelized well. The sauces were really nice and flavorful. Ketchup and mayo were even made in house. But those soggy fries... man. They just need to get some good crispy fries and it would have been a perfect meal. Otherwise, the burger is great. Five stars because of that. The Place - Typical of EU restaurants, it's small. The Service - It was good. Soggy fries came out pretty late in the meal. I was halfway through my burger before it came out. I think fries should come out with burger. It's like getting your sides halfway through eating your main meal. Overall, even with the soggy fries, I would still recommend going to Les Frangins for their burgers. I'd like to go back a few years from now to see them still there, hopefully have grown, and with crispy fries.
