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 food was good but the service was pretty slow and unnecessarily uncomfortable. The server was…read morepoking fun at us being American to all of the other tables as part of his bit but it wasn't funny. He served all the other tables before us, so the service was very slow. Felt intentional. Four of us spoke fluent French so it wasn't that we were clueless tourists. He also dropped sauce on two guests. The server was more entertained with his own antics without any regard for how he was received. At one point one of our group asked if he minded that we were American and he assured us we were welcome but then didn't modify his behavior.

Thank you Le Bouchon des Filles because I cannot forget the delicious quenelle and veal I've had…read more We ordered the €30 fix priced menu and had the option to choose our entrees. We picked the Fish quenelle and veal. We also ordered the fish herring. The fish Quennelle was made so well that you can taste the freshness of the fish used and the sauce that was similar to a subtle lobster bisque. The veal was delicious and was served in a white sauce with hinds of wine. The service was impeccable and had one of the best services while in France. The interior was cosy and comfortable.

I got their trio of tartare as well as their potatoes. The 3 tartare were: classic, vegetable, and mint. The vegetable one was far and above my favorite. Second was the mint. The mint gave it a more Middle Eastern taste which worked. My least favorite was the classic. I've had much tastier "classic" tartares and this one tasted like they put ketchup in it or something like that. I was not a fan. The potatoes seasoned with Herbes de Provence were good. The atmosphere is nice too and almost feels cave/cellar like. They have a number of other delicious looking tapas to choose from and I definitely would return.

There was only one other Yelp review when we came here. Atmosphere - On a small side street, but the trip is worth it. When you arrive you enter in the bar and greeted. We were directed to the dining room the right. We were there for three hours and the only ones in the dining room. We did arrive early as the kitchen was not open. It was fine we had drinks to tide us over. Food Drinks - I had Maredsous 6° Blonde, which I enjoyed. At the end of the night we were offered drinks the owner's mother made. There was a homemade limoncello and an orange-cello. I had the orange flavored liquor, it was tasty. Appetizer - We had some free tortilla chips and salsa. Dinner - Boeuf for me one. Yes I had more steak during this European vacation. The steak was cooked to medium as I ordered it. Loved the seasoning on it. Desert - Fromage, a small plate of different cheeses, nuts, and raisins. Perfect way to end all the food. Service - Sure we were the only one in the dining room but the bar behind me was bustling. Our waiter was also the owner. We practiced our French and he worked on his English skills. Okay I just sat back and listened as I have zero French skills. I was already to place my order in French, one word I had to say and I choked. I ended up saying it in English. When I got the puzzled looked I was able to say "Boeuf" with Julia Child saying Boeuf Bourguignon my head. Future - Yes please, the owner was great to visit with.

Because we were early our waiter was also the owner. He was so lovely. We attempted to speak in French and he attempted to speak in English.

At the end of the dinner he brought us out his moms homemade lemoncello as a digestif. We laughed, drank, ate and enjoyed a leisurely evening. Great place!!!

Cozy little bistro in old town Lyon. We finally had the dinner we'd been looking forward to here…read more The Raclette ! We came at the end of the evening and it was quite inside but we had great service and some amazing food ! We ordered a bottle of red which was delicious. We started with the French onion soup which was to die for. With some crunchy bread it was dinner in itself . The we tried a true Savoire dish the tartiflette. This is another amazing indulgent dish full of cheese, cream and potatoes. Onions and bacon provide the flavor . It was so decadent and filling and just like comfort food. Then the star of the show which happens right at your table. The Raclette. The warming instrument is easy to use and you keep melting the cheese as you want it. The one we chose came with potatoes and veggies so you basically drizzle the melted cheese on top of those and eat it. It was a fun process and we ate a good chunk of it between 3 of us. It was a delicious strong cheese and I loved it in top of the potatoes. To say we were full after this feast was an understatement . Cheese heaven. This is reason enough to come to Lyon. Love the great local feel to the place not touristy. We left like a wheel of cheese rolling .

AVOID!! This was the worst meal we had on our 9-day trip to Rhône-Alpes. We came on Thursday,…read moreNovember 25th. The problem was the kitchen and staffing levels. Our kids food came out COLD. Their steak haché, and half their french fries, were not hot at all. (But the other half were very hot?) My appetizer didn't come out until my partner's entree. And neither were very good. We ended up leaving early and getting food elsewhere. Our waitress was doing the best she could given the restaurant was packed, there were only 2 servers handling all front-of-house duties, and the kitchen was so unreliable. They need more servers!! I'm trying to understand how this could happen given the good reviews. I bet the head chef recently quit and took people with him, and the management is just trying to keep the restaurant going. And it's a great location, they can still make money. But it won't last long like this...
