The chairs were uncomfortable. Service was cheery and prompt. We ordered from a prix fixe menu. I had the pistachio pork sausage which was very good. I also had a blonde draft which they brew on site. The beer was good. We also got a bottle of red and white. Around 730pm the place was packed and there was a line to get in. We finished with a nice couple of desserts. It seems like a go to place for a visit to Lyon so we checked that box. There are many other places with much better food on offer. We would return for the atmosphere. Mark & Nanc

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.

It was our first time in Lyon, France and we had two foodie missions: I wanted to make a beeline…read morefor the Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse food hall and hubby wanted to get a big plate of escargots. Chez Georges was the perfect compromise. Located inside the food hall, we visited this restaurant in the mid-afternoon. Since people in France like to dine very late, we opted to sit at the bar. The man working was curt (as is the French way) but he was kind enough (if not warm nor welcoming) and pretended to understand my butchered attempts at his language. I'm fairly certain he spoke perfect English but he still pretended not to. We asked him his favorite local wine on the menu and he pointed to one red and one white. We ordered both. He got happy (well, as happy as one from France can ever let on) when we ordered the escargots. He then changed which wine he thought would go best with our garlic snails. The food arrived quickly and the snails were fresh and tasty. Big, meaty, chewy, and served in the traditional way: inside their shells atop a rounded dish. These were good but not great. Hubby said he'd had better escargots in his life. We were close to being the only tourists in the market in the afternoon, and we certainly were the only ones dining. The other patrons at the bar stared us down the entire time, like we were a novelty act from America.

We then shared a generous plate of tagliatelle aux vongoles, so wonderfully simple and good. We polished that off in like no time, devoured all those delicious tiny clams, and wiped our plates clean with bread. Oh yeah. That's living well! Very pleasant service too.
