It's a family-owned restaurant in La Part Dieu, and it was completely packed during lunch. A young girl served me because she was the only one who spoke English fluently. I ordered the pork bún rice vermicelli, and it was so refreshing and flavorful, especially with the table-side nuoc cham sauce. The ambiance of the restaurant was both cozy and hip; this was easily one of my favorite dining experiences while in France.

We sat outside since the weather was perfectly for soup. My bf and definitely will visit again. Merci Beaucoup Chez Ba Noi !

Just clicked the link to their website in the yelp app and filled out the reservation info. After a long day of flying, exploring Paris, and taking the high speed train, I was hungry. I was looking for a good place that I could eat by myself. This place was a short walk from the train station (I wheeled my luggage). I chose to eat outside so it wouldn't be awkward inside with my giant suitcase. Even though I made my reservation for 830pm, they seated me at 8pm when I arrived. I chose 1 of each of the categories on the menu. To my surprise the serve brought me a declious cucumber salad as an amuse bouche.

Used google translate to read reviews in French from different sites. Made reservation and we were the first customers that night. They have good selection of local wines at reasonable price. I really enjoyed their wine. Course meal is 27€ per person including appetizer, main and desert. Since I couldn't pick what I wanted, they decided to give me small potion of everything. Everything I ate was so good, no wonder why they are so popular among locals. Yes this place is located in the middle of residential area, you need to know it's here to come here. Walking distance from the Lyon train station. One lady spoke excellent English and it was so helpful and she assisted our table so well. Highly recommend for great dinner at a such a reasonable price. My love for Lyon food continues...

You can expect the classical checkered table clothes, a tight seating arrangement where the person sitting next to you is a complete stranger (that you'll get to chat and know along the evening) and a boisterous chef that welcomes you and comes to check on you many times during the meal. The menu has all the classics and you can even afford to try them all in one sitting without exploding the bank. However, if you eat everything, your tummy might explode ;) Given it was our last night, we went for 'la totale'. The plate of cold cuts was packed tightly with generous servings of terrine, pate de foie gras, saucisson. The quenelle was so fluffy and well souffled that it was like a pillow in your mouth. The tripes although not for everyone, satisfied our desire for offals. The andouillette was crispy on the outside and served with a well flavoured mustard sauce. All in all, for four hearty dishes, 2 glasses of kir and a 46cl bottle of wine, the total came up to 78€! Reservations highly recommended :)

We were abruptly told by a little rude waiter that we were late, he made such a fuss I thought he was going to say he couldn't seat us but then he gave us a table in the corner outside! The table was uncomfortably small (we are not big people) it was cramped! We ordered some drinks and apps and within about 20 mins I had water dripping down my back and on my arms which I thought was raindrops! I realized that actually it was water leaking from the apartment drains above. The water was also hitting the table and going in our food! We asked to be moved indoor where there were tables but we were promptly told to shift to the table next to ours outside. We did so but realized more water coming down on the food! When I complained and said it's unacceptable, the waiter asked do we want a table inside? Lol, so now you have space but before you didn't! The waiter just shrugged and said it's normal when you have apartments above! Absolutely disgusting attitude and rude treatment of paying customers! We left without finishing our contaminated food! We paid for it but there was no compensation or apology! Don't bother going here, most other restaurants we went to we received excellent service and pleasant people!

I'm always reluctant to go to typical french restaurants as I feel I'm being taken for an idiot (i-e pay a lot of money for really bad food). This place is the exact OPPOSITE: it's a really great bouchon and the people owning the place are so nice and friendly; they explained the whole menu, making recommendations on our taste. The place only has big communal tables with red and white tableclothes, and old posters on the wall. It feels like I'm at Grandma's. The food is amazing: I had the St Marcellin brick to start, then the quenelle with homardine sauce and to finish chocolate mousse. Portions are huge and it only costs 29euros for a 3 course meal (again really good food and really big portions) It really deserves its 5 stars.
