(Last visited 11/11/2021.) So while hanging out in Lyon for a couple of weeks on business my…read morecoworker found this place via some Google'ing and I am so elated that he did! Let me tell you why I paid this place a visit twice in 3 days! Atmosphere/Appearance: Right among the cobblestone streets in the surrounding downtown area is this gem. It's a lil' hidden and is only distinguishable by either looking through the big windows or the lil' sign that hands right above the stone archway. The interior design carries in that older European architecture that's present right on the outside. There's lots of stone everywhere, big picture frames, a small bar at the back of the restaurant and the see-in kitchen to the left. There are only a few tables so be sure to have reservations or some good luck! Lol. Service: Stéfane (@stf_nws on Instagram )is the owner/operator/chef/bartender/everything. Lol. He was SO FREAKING COOL and so chill. Despite having to literally do everything in the restaurant, he did it with a passion, with style, with flare and with love. You could just tell he put his soul into this restaurant and into this food. Food: On both of my visits I went with their big gourmet plate. I can't remember the official name of the plate, but it was gigantic. Lol. It comes with a plate FULL of smoked goodies! Beef ribs, pulled pork, sausage, chicken and the choice of 2 sides. For my sides I went with the beans and side salad. My goodness. Everything was FANTASTIC and smoked to perfection. I don't even wanna single anything out, but the ribs FLOORED me. They were so incredible juicy, smokey and full of flavor, but you can't go wrong with any of the components of this meal. Value: I can't remember the exact amount, but I believe my plate was around 35€ and absolutely worth it. In conclusion, do I even need to tell you how much I loved this place? It was intimate, tasty, affordable and gave you such a great experience. I can't wait to visit this place again!

Just walked by and decided to stop. The cute Texas style decor caught our eye. The chef/smoke…read moremaster is fun and easy going. He's the server and bartender too. He found a table for us even though the place was booked solid. Make reservations. Our meals were fantastic. The burger was a chef's creation and superb. The mixed meats plate was enormous and also superb. Don't skip his cardiac fries. Not typical fries. They're chunks of potatoes maybe fried, roasted, or sauced. I don't know. But they were magical. Don't skip them. Not much English is spoken, so we muddled through with Google translate. We ate what the chef suggested and we were thrilled. New World Smoke is a true hidden gem. Glad we found it.

My mother really wanted steak for some reason and we walked past this restaurant a few times as it's near our hotel. Really liked everything about this place except the music playlist. It's very country, Texas, redneck style music, not what I would expect in France let alone Lyon. Most Americans don't listen to that style of country. One song was title I'm a redneck woman or something like thay. Most if not all restaurants played a mix of American, French and international music but this music felt like I was in the backwoods of Confederate Alabama, Texas, etc. you can be an American influenced steakhouse without the country music.

I wish the portion was slightly larger though. My boyfriend's steak was cooked to medium rare perfection and was incredibly juicy and creamy, and the side dishes complemented the meat very well. They also had an interesting selection of American wines which we thought paired perfectly with our meal. We'll definitely be eating here again soon! Highly recommend!

If you didn't read my review of the Meat House, this is what you need to know- "All of the greatest steaks of my life have come from this meat house. There is nothing quite like the greatest steak of your life, I'm convinced it gives you slight superpowers and a feeling of euphoria." They have officially been beaten, but let it be known that Lyon has an unfair advantage. This place is clean, sleek, and smells amazing. There is a pristine glass case where you can see dozens of perfect-ten types of meat from the best regions in the world, and you can pick whatever you like. That is, if you don't want to order from their awesome menu. Best part is, the prices are fantastic. You get incredible quality for a price that is much lower than what I'm used to for product like this. Best steak dinner at a restaurant in my life. Make a reservation atleast a week in advance, or you lose.

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.

I can't believe I went here based on yelp reviews. We went there as soon as they opened (7:15) and…read moreordered right away. (3 people ordered 3 same dishes) We were the first table, but it took more than 30min to get our food!! And it was terrible-I felt so bad for my Italian friend who had never tried Korean food before. (He said "it's eatable") The bibimbap had some veggies that were ok (shiitake and zucchini), but the bean sprouts and carrots were not cooked. And the pepper sauce (gochujang) that was already on top, not on the side, was so salty it ruined the whole dish. The rice was not fresh, and the stone bowl wasn't that hot. And no side dishes!!! Such a disappointing experience with yelp again. I should have not tried Asian places in a small French town... (&This is not a Korean place, not owned by Korean people.)
