A bottle of champagne and one of Chablis did arrive, so clearly expense is the primary motivator. We were told of sole meunière, but after four of our party ordered it, we were told it is sold out. We were told of loup de mare, but those in our party who ordered it were told it is now sold out. Food finally came. My overcooked lamb chops were served over mashed potatoes, clearly left sitting for ten or fifteen minutes in the kitchen to perfectly dry out. Those who did get their fish were pleased, but it was too little too late. Avoid this over-priced mediocre restaurant.

This must be a joke, we thought, perpetrated by Paul Bocuse; a gag, a spoof. Why? Well:…read moreThe sardines were from a can. From a can! For nearly 20 euros! Where are we, we wondered: a New York City coffee shop? Then we got the wrong food, chicken instead of the calf's liver, and no apology, just a huff. The risotto? Also from a can. What the freak gives? Service was amateurish, with lots of Gallic fol-de-rol masking comic incompetence. Prices are HIGH. This place is VERY EXPENSIVE. And the food STINKS. Oh. Then we did some googling and figure it out. Paul Bocuse, the Donald Trump of French cooking, licensed his name to a bunch of ripoff "artistes," and this ripoff joint is one of the franchises. Bocuse, may he RIP, may have been celebrated 60 years ago, but this is a Cheesecake Factory paying royalties to his estate. Shameful. On the plus side, it's kind of cool, in an old train station. What an embarrassment! But that's the Donald Trump of France for you.

This is a cool French tapas bar with nice service, good food, and great wine…read more I don't know if others would find the Côtes du Rhône here as delicious as I did, but after a long day of travel, it really hit the spot. I got their trio of tartare as well as their potatoes. The 3 tartare were: classic, vegetable, and mint. The vegetable one was far and above my favorite. Second was the mint. The mint gave it a more Middle Eastern taste which worked. My least favorite was the classic. I've had much tastier "classic" tartares and this one tasted like they put ketchup in it or something like that. I was not a fan. The potatoes seasoned with Herbes de Provence were good. The atmosphere is nice too and almost feels cave/cellar like. They have a number of other delicious looking tapas to choose from and I definitely would return.

I started going to La Cuisinerie not long after they opened when I had to go to Lyon for work…read moremonthly. Honestly the best food for the money I found in Lyon. Menu changes regularly based one what's fresh. In a food obsessed city with a ton of amazing restaurants this place always made my commute to France worth it.

Really good fish restaurant in Lyon. (Fish and seafood only, they only have one meat main, nothing…read morevegetarian) The restaurant is located in a old warehouse with a massive glassroof. Nice atmosphere with good service, perfect for a business lunch, a family meal or a date. Seafood platter is huge and I would definitively recommend the "cafe gourmand" - coffee with small pastries (chocolate cake, madeleine, praline mousse and the best pistachio cake). They have a valet service in the evenings.
