(Last visited 11/11/2021.) So while hanging out in Lyon for a couple of weeks on business my…read morecoworker found this place via some Google'ing and I am so elated that he did! Let me tell you why I paid this place a visit twice in 3 days! Atmosphere/Appearance: Right among the cobblestone streets in the surrounding downtown area is this gem. It's a lil' hidden and is only distinguishable by either looking through the big windows or the lil' sign that hands right above the stone archway. The interior design carries in that older European architecture that's present right on the outside. There's lots of stone everywhere, big picture frames, a small bar at the back of the restaurant and the see-in kitchen to the left. There are only a few tables so be sure to have reservations or some good luck! Lol. Service: Stéfane (@stf_nws on Instagram )is the owner/operator/chef/bartender/everything. Lol. He was SO FREAKING COOL and so chill. Despite having to literally do everything in the restaurant, he did it with a passion, with style, with flare and with love. You could just tell he put his soul into this restaurant and into this food. Food: On both of my visits I went with their big gourmet plate. I can't remember the official name of the plate, but it was gigantic. Lol. It comes with a plate FULL of smoked goodies! Beef ribs, pulled pork, sausage, chicken and the choice of 2 sides. For my sides I went with the beans and side salad. My goodness. Everything was FANTASTIC and smoked to perfection. I don't even wanna single anything out, but the ribs FLOORED me. They were so incredible juicy, smokey and full of flavor, but you can't go wrong with any of the components of this meal. Value: I can't remember the exact amount, but I believe my plate was around 35€ and absolutely worth it. In conclusion, do I even need to tell you how much I loved this place? It was intimate, tasty, affordable and gave you such a great experience. I can't wait to visit this place again!

Just walked by and decided to stop. The cute Texas style decor caught our eye. The chef/smoke…read moremaster is fun and easy going. He's the server and bartender too. He found a table for us even though the place was booked solid. Make reservations. Our meals were fantastic. The burger was a chef's creation and superb. The mixed meats plate was enormous and also superb. Don't skip his cardiac fries. Not typical fries. They're chunks of potatoes maybe fried, roasted, or sauced. I don't know. But they were magical. Don't skip them. Not much English is spoken, so we muddled through with Google translate. We ate what the chef suggested and we were thrilled. New World Smoke is a true hidden gem. Glad we found it.

Interesting place that was recommended to us by a couple people so we had to check it out. The…read morestaff was super friendly and super accomodating as we walked in at lunch time needing a table for 8 and they quickly found us a table with a view of the citadel. The food was good all around but the real surprise (unknown to us when we ordered it) was the grilled meat options that come to your table raw! Don't worry because they follow with a small grill with hot coals for you to cook your meat as you'd like! Definitely not something we see every day and made for a fun meal for those that ordered it at our table.

Food is very good, atmosphere is nice, too. Came in on a slow, rainy Tuesday before heading back to…read moreCalifornia. My mother really wanted steak for some reason and we walked past this restaurant a few times as it's near our hotel. Really liked everything about this place except the music playlist. It's very country, Texas, redneck style music, not what I would expect in France let alone Lyon. Most Americans don't listen to that style of country. One song was title I'm a redneck woman or something like thay. Most if not all restaurants played a mix of American, French and international music but this music felt like I was in the backwoods of Confederate Alabama, Texas, etc. you can be an American influenced steakhouse without the country music.

I wish the portion was slightly larger though. My boyfriend's steak was cooked to medium rare perfection and was incredibly juicy and creamy, and the side dishes complemented the meat very well. They also had an interesting selection of American wines which we thought paired perfectly with our meal. We'll definitely be eating here again soon! Highly recommend!
