    Like bona fide Italian restaurants everywhere,…read more This is all about the quality of the raw ingredients. Olive oil and cheese. Cheese and olive oil. Buy the finest on the planet. Let them do their work. * * * The cooking here is completely fine. They have gelato desserts that look like they are to die for. I don't think I will ever get to those gelato desserts. The cheese board I had here was totally life changing. Only two cheeses. The world's most subtle and suave Gorgonzola. The world's most aggressive and dashing Pecorino. I was blown away. The Gorgonzola almost tasted like a French creamy cheese with charcoal. Only better. Much better. Suave does not mean tasteless here. There was a gentle caressing taste that was manifest in every bite. There was none of the all out assault that comes from a supermarket Gorgonzola. The Pecorino was strong in its own right. However it was buffed up by red pepper the same way you can get a red pepper Gouda. The cheese did most of the work. The effect was similar to eating Coleman's mustard right out of the jar. WAKEY-WAKEY !!! Add a perfect wine pairing chosen by the house. (I am sure the maison has a standard pairing for each cheeseboard it designs). A little fig compote on the side and perfect bread. Most people finished their gelato in about five to ten minutes. I spent nearly an hour on that cheeseboard. * * * Other stars of the olive oil and cheese show. a) A chestnut puree veloute with olive oil infused croutons. The soup was strictly a backup singer here. The backup singer did its job. The croutons were life itself. b) A carpaccio with rocket and large shavings of Parmesan Reggiano. I had heard people talk and talk and talk and talk about Parmesan Reggiano. The Parmesan Reggiano I get in my gourmet grocery store back home (Central Market) is nothing special. Kraft grated Parmesan cheese is stale powder that sometimes does its job. This was the Maria Callas of Parmesan cheese. This was Parmesan Cheese taking central stage at La Scala and singing Puccini's "Un Bel Vedromo". I was rapt. The carpaccio and the rocket played nicely in the orchestra. * * * Is Veronatuti a mystical magical place? Yes it is. Cheese is their god, and I have just converted.

    Le Briey is a relatively compact very local Lyonaisse restaurant that seems to specialize in…read morepromoting local wines. Accordingly, their menu is quite limited - but don't be put off by that. When the three of us visited on July 7, 2016, the menu consisted of three plats (plates) items (no entrees, or appetizers to the non-French) hand written on a chalkboard. We sat outside in a street-side parking area blocked off for tables - not to worry, it wasn't a very busy street. The very friendly good-humored chef explained the menu options to us in broken English which was interesting for all of us. Wine is sold only by the bottle, so with the huge wine list we just had to ask for his suggestion. After he brought a bottle and opened it for us to sample, and left it with our approval, we noticed it was the most expensive on his chalkboard wine list (51€)! We were actually charged far less for it :) Our concerns about leaving hungry (due to lack of entrees) was totally unfounded. The main course servings were generous, very well-prepared, and tasty. I personally had a beef tartare prepared in Italian style (with chopped tomatoes and seasonings mixed in) and it was very good. Duck and main dish salad options were had by the other diners. I opted for a cheese selection for dessert, which didn't look huge, but was actually quite filling and an amazing presentation (see my uploaded photos). Two of us went back a few hours later to watch France vs. Germany in the Euro 2016 tournament and were warmly welcomed to hang out with the chef and a small group of local patrons. I'm not sure I will ever get back to Lyon, but we had many memorable meals there, Le Briey included.

I had a salmon gravelax which was just perfect with the right amount of pepper and herbs, the house made salad dressing was good and the Rosemary potatoes were delicious. My friend has the cheese potato gratin called robenouble or something and that was pretty good too. Service was super friendly, I even got a little french lesson when I asked for some help. Super cheerful atmosphere - waitress dancing etc. food was 13 euros each - v good value!
