Meh. While the…read moreservice was welcoming, it was also very slow. As for our food order - maybe I've been spoiled by Ethiopian food in DC and NY, but the lack of flavor and spice in the dishes was a huge disappointment. Also, for my meat-eating friends, the stew wasn't cut in ways that made sense when you eat with your fingers - I remember that it's usually served either as full chicken drumsticks or smaller bites. Not in between. The server asked us what we thought at the end of the meal and when we complained (a little), he said they adjusted the seasoning of the dishes to French taste and that the French are wary of spices. I hear this a lot. I think it's really too bad because you lose authenticity, taste, and maybe a chance to educate the French palate. - - - Bof. Le service etait accueillant mais aussi tres lent. Quant a la cuisine- peut-etre que j'ai ete gatee par les restaurants ethiopiens a Washington DC et a New York, mais le manque de saveurs et d'epices dans les plats m'a vraiment decue. Ah et aussi, pour ceux qui mangeaient de la viande, les morceaux de viande dans le ragout n'etaient pas coupes de facon logique pour un repas qu'on mange avec les doigts - je sais que c'est generalement sevi avec la cuisse de poulet entiere avec l'os ou des plus petits morceaux. Pas l'entre-deux, comme c'etait le cas ici. Le serveur nous a demande a la fin du repas ce qu'on en avait pense et on s'est (un peu) plaints. Il nous a repondu qu'ils ajustaient les epices en fonction des gouts francais et que les Francais ont peur de tout ce qui est epice. C'est quelque chose qu'on me repete souvent. Je trouve ca vraiment dommage, parce qu'on perd l'authenticite, le gout, et peut-etre une occasion d'eduquer le palais francais.

Lots of suits and well dressed people (dresses, jackets and slacks, etc). We had come after the Women's World Cup so was a tad under dressed, but they were polite and kind and said it was ok to dine there. PLAT: A few got the salad lyonnaise. The lardons are huge, it's a meal in and of itself. The croutons are crispy and butter nuggets of delicious carb. The poached egg is done to perfection. The lettuce is frisse so it delicate. They have a plat and entree size, and the plat was generous (it was a deep bowl!) The burrata came with ratatouille, which was also generous in portion. It's very rich, oh so creamy and cool and tasty. The ratatouille had a nice deep rich tomato base and the vegetables (in cubes vs circular slices) had a nice structure to hold up well to the creamy cheese. Also shareable. Last plat was the foie grais pate. That crust is so buttery, flakey and delicious. The pate was equally good. It came with cornichons and salad on the side. This was sharable too, but I didn't ;) ENTREE: The star entree was the poulet (chicken) stew. It's 100% comfort food that you can't stop eating until everything is gone. In addition to chicken, there were carrots and potatoes. The beef tartare was wonderful, rich, robust, little bit of heat (I think tabasco?). It was also a generous amount. It came with sliced potatoes. The steak and potatoes came with a rich, brown sauce to drizzle over the steak. So, so, so good. Between the chicken stew sauce/gravy and the brown sauce, there were so many delicious flavors around. Last entree was the sweetbreads, so tender, perfectly prepared, very delicate. MUST SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT. If you are a chocolate lover, the chocolate financier (cake) was so rich (think ganache) but not overly sweet. Chocolate lovers will be transported. As it was during a blistering heatwave through parts of Europe, I went with the meringue. Light, airy, crispy with the sweetest strawberries and raspberries. I'm not the biggest fans of raspberries but these seem to have sugar filled in the center (it didn't, but that sweetness was so perfect). then there is the marshmellow/praline/ice cream dish, which I have no clue what the name is. We saw it coming out of the kitchen and knew we had to have it. GET IT, again, this is if you want something other than chocolate. If you love chocolate and can enjoy a rich dessert after a spectacular meal, the chocolate cake is out of this world. the one thing is that the menu only has the plat/entree. For drinks/dessert, the waiter reads it off to you from memory. The challenge with this is you don't know the prices until the bill comes.

The chairs were uncomfortable. Service was cheery and prompt. We ordered from a prix fixe menu. I had the pistachio pork sausage which was very good. I also had a blonde draft which they brew on site. The beer was good. We also got a bottle of red and white. Around 730pm the place was packed and there was a line to get in. We finished with a nice couple of desserts. It seems like a go to place for a visit to Lyon so we checked that box. There are many other places with much better food on offer. We would return for the atmosphere. Mark & Nanc
