A must-try when in Lyon!…read more What a cool restaurant in the heart of Lyon surrounded by many other fine establishments. This one stands out for its commitment to great service and outstanding sandwiches (tartines/toast) hot and cold. The decor here is beautiful with the stonework inside with quite a few tables as well as tables outside. Our server was outstanding, we ordered wine, cider, foie gras and egg salad tartines, and a couple of desserts. The toasts were excellent. The raspberry dessert was too mushy and the coconut dessert too dry. But we will be back for more tartines and to try their burgers.

Only one waitress spoke English, and she wasn't serving us - however she did explain about the different specials of the day. Our actual waiter was super nice and patient as we ordered and the food was amazing. We chose one tartine each (party of 3) and cut them into thirds so we could each sample everything. - Tomato burrata tartine with balsamic: very fresh, pretty much what you would expect from a tomato/mozz sandwich - The special that I ordered was pork with polenta and olives. It was amazing!!!!! - Croque Monsieur was also tasty - ham with tomato and cheese. We shared potatoes gratin and a bottle of wine. Really nice meal in a traditional Lyonnaise cafe. Cobblestone streets and adorable awnings - so picturesque!

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.

We stayed the night in Lyon, driving from Paris to St. Tropez. We were lucky enough to find Cafe…read moreTerroir on the Michelin Guide website and made the reservation before our trip. Our experience here was wonderful. The restaurant is small and the decor is rustic and on the darker side. We were sat at a wooden table in the center of the restaurant. It felt totally appropriate for the overall vibe of Lyon. On communication, my partner and the kiddo both speak French, but I do not. This confused a lot of folks on our trip, as they don't expect to see the blank look on my face when they speak to me in French, after having just interacted with a native speaker. While most of the staff spoke with my partner in French so that I didn't understand what was happening or being conveyed, one staff member spoke to me in English, which I really appreciated because it made me feel less left out of the dining experience. It felt like a true act of kindness. To be clear, I don't go to restaurants in a foreign country and ding them if they don't speak any English there. I just wanted to note that it meant something to me that one of the servers noted our situation and made the effort to make me feel comfortable. Overall, the service was excellent and attentive as you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Okay-onto the food. Oh the food! We started out with the soft boiled egg with cheese and bread and escargot. The escargot was very good. The kiddo ordered the soft boiled egg, said it was "so good," and sadly refused to share any of it with us. Needless to say, this is probably something you want to order. My partner and the kiddo shared the steak for two. Fortunately, they shared this one with me. This dish really was the star of the show. The steak had a depth of flavor I have not experienced before. Truly. There was something very special about this steak. I had the salmon dish, with a butter sauce and a stuffed squash blossom. This dish was perfectly cooked and flavorful, but the steak was so good it overshadowed what was otherwise an excellent dish. We ordered coffee after dinner and the ice cream. Oh wow. Order the ice cream for dessert. Do not miss this dish! The dish comes with dollops of a variety of ice cream flavors -the chef's choice. There was vanilla, and coffee flavor and a speculoos like flavor, among a number of others. They were so good-if I didn't have to avoid dairy, I would have ordered it myself. You cannot go wrong dining here when in Lyon. I'd absolutely come back for a visit.

Waitress added for water we didn't have on our check and then just chose USD when I paying, thus further over charging me for an ehh meal. In fairness the chocolate dessert was incredible and the white wine was very nice. I'd say this place is a pass. El Malecon in NYC has a much better chicken. Perhaps the beef would be better.

I think that if you are a meat eater, this place is good - maybe even great. But if you are a…read morevegetarian, it's not worth the price. Here is my experience. First, I will preface this with the following story. Despite asking my French friend to make sure the restaurant knew there were two vegetarians in the party while making our reservation, he failed to do so. However, when we arrived and the chef was told, he said it was no problem as long as we ate eggs and mushrooms. We both agreed that we did and the show went on. The chef comes to your table to explain the day's menu to you. That's pretty cool. He even speaks English so he can explain it to you in multiple languages if you ask nicely. You select an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert or cheese plate. The total cost per person is 26€. They also have apéritifs, digestifs, and wine that will, of course, raise your tab considerably. My appetizer was the vegetable soup sans whatever cephalopod was normally added at the last minute before being served. (The chef said it was like squid but not exactly the same.) This was pretty boring. I think I make a better vegetable soup at home. Next came the main course, which for us vegetarians, consisted of a lightly scrambled egg with mushrooms and fresh herbs and all the sides that the other plates received: pureed sweet potato, a turnip stuffed with a tomato and cumin mixture and some chevre, roasted red peppers, scalloped potatoes, and two blinis. The least interesting part of the meal was definitely the egg mixture as it just tasted like egg with a few herbs and chunks of mushroom. The other components were all tasty, though I felt there was too much cumin in the turnip as it bled over to all the other parts of the dish. For dessert, I chose a mango cream option served on a thin sponge cake with a raspberry sauce. This was very light and not my favorite dessert. I didn't even finish it, which is rare as I love sweets. My husband and most of the table ordered the cheese plate and seemed quite happy with it however. Maybe that's the way to go at Le Tibouren. I may be willing to try this place again later, making sure the chef is aware of my dietary choices when we make the reservation. I'm not sure if it would make a difference or not but I would certainly give them the chance. If that happens, I'll be sure to update my review.
