I had a sausage and rice plate and for example the rice had a seafood broth flavor to it which was delicious. The vegetables are beautifully fresh and i could eat vegetarian if i lived here. So happy to have found this restaurant and ate here multiple times on our trip. Cannot wait to return!

He is the only guy in the litlle restaurant; took our orders, cooked, prepared, served and accepted our payment. He is very cool and a pro! We are a group of 5, ordered fish, beef, pork and vegetarian. All were delicious but according to my nephew who tasted all said beef was the best! I like my fish- this was cooked in a puff pastry with sweet chili sauce on top. Each dish comes with 7 small sides which were all delicious- dont know exactly what they were. We also tried the 4 different desserts. They all look interesting- chocolate, coconut orange, chestnut and date. For me, the first two were my fave. Do come here if you are in the area. You will not regret!

But the couple who owns this place gave us a warm welcome!

Definitely a good spot for the Lyon food/drink scene!

This is one of two that my wife and I found within a very few blocks of the center of the old town. We really liked the amuse bouche (olives, bread and hummus) followed by a great smoked salmon salad for my wife, wonderful rabbit for me, and a perfect dark chocolate cake with Carmel ice cream for desert. The ambiance was quite pleasant. We sat outside and enjoyed the evening air. English is spoken si vous ne parlez pas français. This restaurant continues the French tradition of superb quality and preparation. Vive la gastronomie française!

I cannot even express to you how incredible Alyssaar is. You really just need to go to experience…read moreit. All my other dining experiences in France (and probably even in America) pale in comparison. By "Mediterranean," Yelp means to say "Syrian." I had never had Syrian food before, but after my trip to France, I had had it twice (both times at Alyssaar) and enjoyed both times immensely. My five friends and I came to Alyssaar after seeing that it had good reviews on Yelp, but we couldn't possibly have expected how attached we would get after just one trip. We were first greeted at the door by Abboud, the one man serving tables who was genuinely excited to meet us. One couldn't possibly fake his friendliness and hospitality. He is absolutely a pleasure (très charmant!) and went out of his way to make everyone feel comfortable, despite having only learned English from movies. He started out by explaining to us that this meal would be an experience of discovery, which it most certainly was in the most enjoyable way possible. Everything I tried here was incredible. I suggest coming with a friend (or a large group of friends) and ordering one of the fixed-price menus, because you'll be able to share with each other. Abboud paired our group up and taught each pair what order we should share our appetizers in to maximize the pleasure in our meals. Each appetizer was wonderfully flavorful. All the main courses we tried were phenomenal, but the one that especially stood out to me was the "boeuf à la cerise" (beef cooked in a cherry sauce, wrapped with herbs--subtle flavor, just the right amount of sweet and tart and savory). But really, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's perfect. Same with the desserts, although if you want to try something you've never had (and probably never will again), try the Syrian cheese dish--it's this lovely, soft cheese served with cream and a sweet sauce. Amazing. The baklawa also puts all other baklava I've ever had to shame. After dinner, try the house digestif--again, absolutely lovely. Expect to spend three hours here and to enjoy every second of it! I certainly did.

Despite being offered to move to another table, we opted to stay put. A few minutes later, the waiter informed us he needed to close our tab as his shift was ending. However, shortly thereafter, he seated a newly arrived couple, took their order, continued serving drinks to another table, and provided food to a couple sitting outside. Even if we wanted to order another round, we felt unwelcome. When asked why he closed our tab and continued to serve others, he curtly responded, "to think what we wanted to think." We believe his behavior might have been racially motivated. This is particularly disappointing given the influx of international guests for the Bocuse d'Or event in Lyon, of which we are a part. It's regrettable that such an institution makes patrons feel unwelcome. We are of a minority race but have never faced such blatant discrimination. Save your money and take your business elsewhere
