They don't have any other main course offerings, unfortunately, but there is a good variety of flammekeuches to choose from, as well as a plat du jour which changes daily. The interior is calm and comfortable. Perfect for a casual lunch or early dinner.

The homemade lemonade was delicious and worth going back for but the food was absolutely nothing to…read morewrite home about. The Flammkuchen is nothing more than dough baked in an open-fire oven with toppings. Sounds like pizza? Yes, but with no tomatoes. As for the desserts, they were somewhat tasty but really nothing more. The advantage of this restaurant is that it is really one of the very few in the neighborhood. When you think that they are across the street from one of Lyon's popular cinemas, I can't explain why they are not open at the week-end when most people go to the movies and would love to grab a bite afterwards.

It's a new establishment and I think they are still getting their legs so I'll give it a second try and see. But to talk about my visit yesterday, The good: staff, outdoor tables, interior decor, olive tapenade! The bad: my friend's beer was a little flat, my mojito and my friend's house mojito made with clarette, weren't great, just ok.
