A few highlights: - I was dining solo and every staff member went out of their way to make me feel welcome and appreciated. They gave me thoughtful recommendations and advice. It truly felt like being with family. - The food was excellent. Truly the best saffron rice I've ever tasted. Lots of creativity and appreciation for ingredients in every dish. - Great value! I did several courses for around 50 euro and gladly would have paid triple for this. Merci for this wonderful dining experience!

This was our first stop in Lyon and we loved it! We got there for the start of the lunch hour and…read moresince it was out first stop in France, we ordered a glass of wine and went with the three course lunch. We were so pleased with the entire experience. It was a true family operation; Mogjan was running the show from the kitchen to the dining room, her husband and son were in the dining room making sure everyone was take care of. The food was magnificent! For the first course we chose the galette and the aubergine (eggplant), the second course was one order of the roasted dorad (fish) and the minced beef and tomatoes, the desserts were a semolina like cake with apricots and a mixed fruit cocktail. My favorite was the aubergine! So silky and delicious. I mentioned that I could never get eggplant to taste like that and Mogjan said she would share the recipe. I still need to email her for that.

It also turned out to be a decent choice for some Middle Eastern food in Geneva. The food was fresh and reasonably tasty, and the selection of dishes on the menu was interesting, with quite a number of Asian specialties featured. Prices were typical for Switzerland, which means they were fairly high by US standards. Bottom line: The food was AOK, and the service was decent. Seems like this might be a fun spot when the place gets busy :-)

Food is good and so are their traditional beverage. I've been here a few times now. Everything is…read moreexcellent.. The only problem I think is they look severely understaffed.. The restaurant has a lot of seating but you don't see much staff. And it tends get busy towards 8:00 pm.. We waited for close to 2 hours for our food to arrive because they were really busy one night. Still, the food is amazing.. So deserves 4 stars!

The sign above the shop also lists: Le Coeur D'Amande. The window is filled with delights showcasing their Persian-like desserts. Many items are filled with crushed almonds and feature other flavors such as citron, pistache, vanille, chocolate, and more. The dessert are very colorful and delicious. They also have a great rendition of bakalava. Definitely go here for a sweet nutty snack or purchasing a gift for someone.

Website + Opening Hours on the window says the restaurant is open until 4pm. When we showed up at 3pm, the restaurant was closed with no notes on the door like the owner would be back in 5min. We waited 5-10 min but nobody showed up. It is kinda frustrating when you come to this part of town specially for this restaurant. Also, the location of this restaurant isn't the best during the evening. You want to make sure to have someone with you if you decide to go have dinner.
