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...

They have morel mushroom fondue that is to die for -huge mushrooms in this delicious cheese fondue, and the viande fondue with the duck, beef, and chicken with the romaine salad unbelievable, and the price was also great- I think $130 for a family of 4, and my husband and I had the best wine to pair, We devoured the homemade desserts - chocolate banana cake, 1 strawberry glaze pie and another strawberry cake, blueberry tart, cream Brule, cream puffs, all homemade and amazing. Seriously I can't say enough, we were seated right away, the service was great, we had our own grill for the viande so it was always fresh, the presentation, everything for a great price. The restaurant also has a cozy feel and a beautiful view of the French Alps. Great for a family of 4, but very romantic for a date as well. If I could put 10 stars I would- loved the staff.

When I was planning my trip to Paris, the one thing I wanted to try was raclette. I had seen…read morevideos and just knew that I had to try it. My friend found this particular restaurant, and I'm beyond grateful. The raclette came with boiled potatoes, bread, and salad. They bring out half a wheel of cheese. The heating element heats the cheese until it's melty, and then we got to scrape it onto the potatoes and bread. OMG!! I can't even begin to describe how incredibly delicious it was. I ate sooo much and loved every bite!

There's only one way to correctly experience the deliciousness that Les Marmottes has to offer and…read morethat is to order the group menu. It's a five-course meal served family style: salad with duck, tartiflette, fondue, raclette, and dessert. If you're a vegetarian, don't fret - there were two of us in my party and they made us a green salad to substitute for the first course and a vegetarian tartiflette for the second! It was delicious - every bit of it. I've been to a few other fondue restaurants in Lyon but this place has the best cheese and the most delicious potatoes I've ever eaten. For dessert, I recommend the ice cream. Every flavor is fantastic! You should definitely call ahead, especially if you have a group. Les Marmottes is kind of small so it's hard to get a table without a reservation. That being said, last night we called around 22H30 and they were able to accommodate us at 23H30. We had fifteen people in our group. The waitresses were extremely friendly and helpful, (they always are,) and made our experience a positive one. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a serious cheese-covered meal in Lyon.

Unfortunately, while the service is still great, the food is just not as good as it used to be. ATMOSPHERE/DECO Typical Alps/mountain décor, the restaurants decoration is very cool with ski, old farming equipment on the wall. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Lot of windows and light. SERVICE Very friendly and fast, our waitress was also funny and helpful. They have several wait staff speaking foreign languages as well. PRICE Price was good for the area. Dinner for 4 with drinks and wine was under $150. FOOD Sadly, it was not as good as it used to be. While my go to order, hanger steak with morel sauce was still excellent (and I highly recommend it), my dad and brother fondue was just not good at all. Not very cheesy and taste like cornstarch (or other thickener agent), the charcuterie plate for the fondue was ridiculously small with sub-par quality meats. Dessert was also not as good as in the past, the profiteroles puff pastry was likely frozen and harder than I like. The ice cream, chocolate sauce and whipped cream on top were excellent. MISCELLEANOUS There is no parking close by so keep that in mind. They do have English speaking staff and I do believe I saw an English menu. They do have AC but it's not very strong (at least for Americans lol). Bathroom was clean. La note de Sebo Atmosphere/Deco 5/5 Service 5/5 Food 3.5/5 Price 4.5/5 Misc. 5/5 OVERALL 4/5

The charcuterie meats were nice thin cuts with great flavor and the smokiness paired super well with the melty salty cheese along with the soft pillowy potatoes Scraping the heated melty cheese onto the plate and quickly enjoying the combination of flavors, temperatures, and textures was so exciting and fun! The wine (Crozes-Hermitage for local regional wine) was excellent, as well Santé, Dédé!
