This is a fantastic cheese shop, conveniently located in Vieux Lyon.

In addition to having an excellent selection of cheeses, the store offers locally produced yogurt, mixed nuts, and other products. The owner, Thierry, is very knowledgeable and helpful.

To start, I love cheese. This shop was part of a wine and cheese pairing tour we booked through…read moreViator - https://www.viator.com/tours/Lyon/Gastronomy-Walking-Tour-in-Lyon/d829-29575P3 . The tour guide brought his own wine to pair with the cheeses that were selected. (He also has taken many classes in oenology and is truly knowledgeable.) The wines alone would have been amazing, but paired with the cheese it made for a truly excellent experience. The owner of the cheese shop was super enthusiastic about how he had just started the business seven months ago and how he was doing well. His passion for cheese and offering to share a taste of anything we wanted outside of the norm was very cool. If I lived in the area i'd make this shop a regular spot to score my cheese.

Being in Lyon my husband and I knew we had to try French cooking from the legend and his institution. Sure the place had a mix of younger somewhat friendly waiters and more grumpy posh older waiters, but it was fun to experience French service at its pique. We ordered the fish and it was so delicate with its crispy flaky outside and perfectly moist fish. The appetizers, to the cheese trolley, to dessert trolley, and fine chocolate at the end. It literally blew us away. You definitely eat so much and that's not what I would have guessed from a Michelin star restaurant so I was very happy at the end! Merck Beaucoup Paul Bocuse team we had a fabulous time!

Very impressive food and service! Since it is part of the school, the students are very well…read moretrained and I can imagine quality control is very important. There were three of us, and we each tried to get different dishes so that we could see a more holistic picture of the restaurants offerings. I got the appetizer veal with leek, entree duck breast and dessert roasted pineapple. I'd say that the appetizer and dessert were 5/5 in taste, and all three dishes were 5/5 in presentation and execution. The duck was juicy and well done but for me there were a bit too many sweet and sour things surrounding it, such as a pickled leek and sweet turnip mash. It didn't seem well balanced I loved the roasted pineapple, it was extremely juicy and the slight char gave it a nice bitter taste to complement the sweetness. Plus the sorbet on top added a whole new level to it. I've attached the meals of the other two in my party. They got appetizer- prawns and tuna, meal - lamb and meagre (fish), and dessert- macaron and la praline. Everyone loved the meal and we wanted to come back, except today was the last day they are open until the school holidays!!

For us, the ambiance of this little wine bar was really it's draw. Though their wine selection was…read morethorough, and the assiette de fromage looked very appealing (the kitchen closed before we could confirm our cheese plate theories), it was really the eclectic, artistic, comfortable aesthetic that won us over. I realize that's maybe not how we're meant to make restaurant-going decisions, alas. The service and wine were also as welcoming as the decor.

Le Zinc is a wonderful wine bar, located on a little tiny street behind the Marche. watching the cars navigate around this street was theater enough for me but... The wines served here are superb. Natural vinification is the norm for everything they pour, and so expect to drink wines from regions you may know, but makers you may not know (unless you frequent Chambers Street Wines, but even so they can't possibly cover the entire gamut!). The wine is great, the space is amazing, the food helps remind you that le diner should come sooner rather than later...and eventually you push off into the twilight, in search of dinner. Enjoy it; it is a great place to sample the finest wines that France has to offer.

The decorations and atmosphere inside are very unique and stylish too.
