Oh hey first English review! We were pointed to Giraudet by our Airbnb host, the classifieds and…read morecustomary google searches. Quenelles were a Lyon specialty along with pralines brioche and we were eager to try it since we loved dumplings. They did not disappoint one bit. A saucy creamy delight with 2 large dumplings, the french might do little portions but the Lyonnais don't skimp on the quenelles. While on the one hand I wish they'd branch out and quenelles become a dish served here in the US, on the other it preserves its novelty and appeal by staying within Lyon borders.

At one end of the Les Halles food market is…read moreGiraudet, one of the only food stalls serving prepared quenelles, which are dumplings made by boiling a batter of flour mixed with various other ingredients, including fish and meat. There are only a few bar seats around the small stall, and the servers running the place were so friendly and helpful. For lunch, I ordered the set menu that came with a large soup and fried rounds of quenelle on the side. The soup I selected was a deliciously creamy mushroom soup, which was fresh, hearty, and warming. I also tried the large salad with quenelle, which consisted of greens, confit tomatoes, and parmesan cheese, all tossed in a simple vinaigrette. The crawfish quenelle rounds almost acted like croutons with a deep seafood flavor! The set menu also came with a dessert selection, and I got the berry financier, a tiny baked cake that was doughy and not overly sweet. Overall, a nice place for a fresh, quality lunch, though the prices were high for the portion sizes. You can also buy a selection of the quenelles and soups refrigerated to take home!

While we were walking around Les Halles, we noticed Giraudet at the end of a row. They had a sign…read moreabout an aged comte product and something with truffles (I'm a big fan of both), but I had no idea what they were actually offering. Turns out, it's quenelles. Luckily my phone was working so I did a quick internet search, and we bought a small assortment to try. It seems that traditionally, these are some kind of fish-based dumpling that is poached. Giraudet has fish varieties, but also has vegetarian options in a range of flavours. To me, these seemed like a large, fluffy gnocchi, but I'm sure purists would challenge me on that. They also had a range of soups in plastic jugs, which looked good but we didn't try. There was a small counter for a few people to dine in, although it's obvious that most of their business is people taking away to prepare at home. We bought two large special ones and a selection of smaller ones to try. We followed the cooking instructions and served with Bordier butter that we bought nearby at Cellerier. Delicious and very filling, a simple meal that is uniquely Lyon. The shop assistant spoke enough English that between pointing and our high-school French, we were able to understand key points. Credit cards accepted.
