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.

Dinner here was a strange, wonderful, and terrible experience - at once an episode of Fawlty Towers…read moreand a religious gastronomic experience. Bottom line: service so awful it was difficult to focus on food so wonderful. The evening began with our greeting at the door by Chef and Mrs. Chef (a status we infer primarily by the bickering between the two). After being seated, we waited to be offered a cocktail or wine ... And waited ... And waited. During this time, we watched Mrs. Chef stagger across the room -- she had started her consumption early - to seat a few other guests. Others who had arrived after we did were offered cocktails and given menus. And given different amuses-bouches. Finally, we snagged a passing server who brought menus and the wine list. Then we ordered a bottle of Chablis, a grand cru 2006. Mrs. Chef returned to let me know that they were out of 1er cru (which I had not ordered), but they had a nice 2007 grand cru. Fine, done. Lovely wine, very fairly priced. Food begins to arrive, after significant and seemingly random delays. But oh, what food! Beautifully, and perfectly sautéed grenouilles - a specialty of the restaurant, dripping with garlic and butter and absolutely delicious. Lamb roast with a gorgeous Duxelles-like sauce, perfectly done. And then the cheese cart. The two waitresses confess that Mrs. Chef usually does the cheese, but she is indisposed (little question why) and they don't know which cheese is which. After some guessing, cheese is chosen from a large selection - and wonderful. Finally, a dessert straight from heaven - a citrus tower to raise the dead. And we were out the door for under 190 Euros, perhaps one of the best values. In summary, after ten minutes in this restaurant, we were ready to walk out. I was glad I stayed. It has a raft of regulars who seem to know Chef and Mrs. Chef and who tolerate what is generally very unprofessional and erratic service. The food is worth a try. If Mr. And Mrs. Chef were smart, they would hire somebody to run the front-of-house for them and Chef would return to the kitchen, where he obviously has some skills, instead of spending his time hobnobbing with the guests.

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.

The waiter was super attentive and VERY nice. He suggested the cerdon, which is a local apertif of a sparkling rose wine which was tasty. My meal was non from the "menu" but he said he would make it one for me, giving me a small salad chevre chaud with the shrimp special of the day, which was very nice of him. My salad was beautiful and perfectly dressed. The shrimp was" flambe en Ricard" which is some kind of French alcohol. I am not a fan of cutting off the heads and pulling shrimp out of the shell but this was so good and the shrimp was perfectly cooked, juicy and delicious. Served on the side were perfectly cooked potatoes in a garlic parsley mix. They were so good. If I go back to Perouges with guests we will eat here for sure.

A must-try when in Lyon!…read more What a cool restaurant in the heart of Lyon surrounded by many other fine establishments. This one stands out for its commitment to great service and outstanding sandwiches (tartines/toast) hot and cold. The decor here is beautiful with the stonework inside with quite a few tables as well as tables outside. Our server was outstanding, we ordered wine, cider, foie gras and egg salad tartines, and a couple of desserts. The toasts were excellent. The raspberry dessert was too mushy and the coconut dessert too dry. But we will be back for more tartines and to try their burgers.

Only one waitress spoke English, and she wasn't serving us - however she did explain about the different specials of the day. Our actual waiter was super nice and patient as we ordered and the food was amazing. We chose one tartine each (party of 3) and cut them into thirds so we could each sample everything. - Tomato burrata tartine with balsamic: very fresh, pretty much what you would expect from a tomato/mozz sandwich - The special that I ordered was pork with polenta and olives. It was amazing!!!!! - Croque Monsieur was also tasty - ham with tomato and cheese. We shared potatoes gratin and a bottle of wine. Really nice meal in a traditional Lyonnaise cafe. Cobblestone streets and adorable awnings - so picturesque!

Ambiance was charming, service agreeable, plates could have been done better…read more La mère jean was my first bouchon expérience in Lyon and it was very nice. However I knew it would not be my only bouchon dinner after trying the typical dishes of eggs in red wine sauce and fish dumplings. I had never had these food before but I know how to cook so I knew something was off. The red wine sauce was thin and watery and the fish dumplings dense and pale. It was a Monday evening so perhaps the best chef had the night off. The wine was very good and the atmosphere was perfectly lyonnaise.

The execution was on point. The dumplings totally had pike/fish flavor but so light and delicate. However the star is what lies beneath it. The lobster bisque was insanely good and brought added dimension to the dumpling. It was served with scalloped potatoes. I started with the cheese and salad. I never had cottage cheese so fresh and light. No comparison to the one you get in the market. It was whipped with herbs and olive oil with a wonderful mouth feel. The dessert was a let down. A praline tart. I should have gone with the cheese plate, but I wanted to end with something different.
