The bartenders we interacted with while we sat at the bar were so cool and happy to talk to us about drinks and their knowledge which in France if your a bartender it's an actual profession. A job taken Seriously. They know their stuff! We came here a couple of nights and had Kir Royales and espresso martinis and some of their signature creations off the menu as well. Lloyd made me a mezcal drink which he created based on on my likes so that was kinda cool. Loved this bar and everyone needs to try it if your a cocktail drinker. It's not huge inside so get there early or make reservations. We got lucky both times with finding bar seating. Fabulous drinks and amazing service from Emma, Lloyd and Laura! Definitely a gem in Lyon.

Jessica who was behind the bar shaking things up was one of the owners I believe and her other right hand was the fab Jean Baptiste. Both were so nice and great to chat with. They had a great story.

Whoever does that part deserves recognition. We definitely closed this place down, but had the best time.

I say this because in one of the pictures we saw a rooftop view but when we arrived it was just a two story, house-like ambiance, which at the end of the day worked out anyway as we were very comfortable and it wasn't noisy at all, but still very confusing. The drinks were out of this world! I got the shark in a bikini or something along those lines and it was served in a Tiki cup while my friend's was served in this little stout looking jar. My drink wasn't too strong which is exactly how I like my cocktails so I was very impressed. All in all I would definitely come back here if ever in Lyon again :)

The short food list features award-winning baguettes and a variety of local cheeses and produce. Yet the true gem of this bar is owner/proprietor Durnez.

Recently opened and featuring 12pm-12am hours, traffic is light during lunch and most weekdays and picks up later and the weekends. A visit or two made my trip to Lyon perfect and gave me excellent information on local sites, great conversation and travel assistance. Next time I'm in town I'll be there.

rudest staff I have ever encountered…read more we came here for some beers after dinner and ordered some (well overpriced) beers at the bar. The glasses came 3/4 poured and we kindly requested that they fill them to a reasonable level, but instead of simply pouring more beer, the bartender proceeded to take a glow stick (which obviously wasn't meant for culinary purposes) and stick it in my beer and stir it until the foam reached the brim. I was so shocked that I asked him why he would do that, and suggested that where were from it's not uncommon to ask for a full drink when you purchase one. He told me 'welcome to France' and we took our beers and went on our way. Do not support this business, I will never, ever patron this establishment again. This was such a negative encounter on an otherwise fantastic time in Paris, don't let them ruin your experience in this beautiful quartier!

Rue de Laurencin houses a cluster of the Thomas restaurants which are one next to the other or across the street and when you choose to go to one you can sometimes choose items from them all. Our waitperson was so sweet and helpful- she would literally run to the other kitchens to request items for us. Delicious champagne from "Thomas" across the street paired perfectly with our three starters from the cold menu: octopus salad, marinated shrimp (crevettes) and the anchovies. All three were wonderful Our fabulous pluma patra negra (a grilled steak that tasted as if slightly dredged in flour) and our grilled octopus also came from Thomas which is the most upscale of the restaurants. They were both outstanding. The star was a plate of delectable razor clams (couteaux gratiné) which were grilled and served in their shells with delicious herbs and oil. They were phenomenal and we could have eaten four plates of them. We greedily mopped up the leftover sauce from the shells with bread. We finished the meal with a pain perdu that tasted slightly of apples and was wonderful- hot and a slight chew in places. We fought for the last bites. All in all a magical meal in Lyon- I'll yearn for a return soon.
