My…read morefamily is passionate about these delicate (but difficult) pastries and we're always eager to try them. I brought home an assortment of 16. Overall, they were quite good, though some uneveness as to texture of the cookies: some were perfect in crumb and moistness, but others were either a tad dry or a bit gummy. Perfection in macarons is hard to achieve, but Bouillet came pretty close! (though I think Pignols nearby, does nail it!)

They have many tasty and beautiful looking pastries here and nice service too. I must admit, of the…read more5 macaroons I tried here, I have had better, but, their caramel one was outstanding. They have some other interesting flavor combinations I would try next time including apricot and thyme. Relative to how highly priced macaroons are in the US, the pricing here was very fair. I would definitely return.

We were able to get the few seat available to us on the outside. We got the chicken salad and chicken pita sandwich. These two item just average. The dressing also just average.

I hate to be the naysayer after reading so many great reviews about the desserts/meringues at this…read moreplace. I walked by this place and saw all the beautiful meringues on display, and loved watching the pastry chefs work their magic with the mixers, making each dessert, and going inside and smelling all the sweet sugar and freshly baked goods. After reading all the rave reviews, I decided I wanted to try this and we got the praline flavor. The meringue is basically the base of the dessert and then it's topped with a chantilly cream which is really fresh and then it's topped with nuts or chocolate flakes, depending on the flavor. We got the praline one and it was topped with almonds and hazelnuts. While everything was really fresh and the pastry was light, it was just really sweet. Neither of us were really craving more, and we were glad we had only just gotten one to share. I can't remember the exact price but it was somewhere around 2,50-3€. For me, I'd much rather have an ice cream or some other kind of French patisserie. The desserts here are certainly unique and you probably won't find things like this elsewhere, but just not for me. I wouldn't come back here nor recommend it.

We loved everything and then started to read all about their amazing merengue. Love the chocolate and it's all perfectly French and quite outstanding. Highly recommended.

You come…read morehere for take out, ready made items for a picnic or to take back to the office for a working lunch. Some sandwiches, tartes, steam table dishes are very good and some others are pretty anemic. My green salad with hard boiled eggs, crispy croutons, flavorful tomatoes was tasty. The sausage & potatoes quiche was okay, the milk bread smoked salmon sandwich was pathetic. Overall the food is just a notch better than the take out from a Monoprix supermarket. Sweets, pastries probably are sourced from elsewhere. You can do better at other local pasty shops. Perroudon, which is 100 yards down the street towards the Rhone river comes to mind. Prices by USA & UK standards are typically Lyon inexpensive. Compared to other local Lyon delicatessen prices, they are on the slightly higher level. If you're in a hurry and need food now this will do. If you're looking for a fabulous lunch take out, this ain't it.

Both had the delicate delicious crunch and the fillings were more fruit than sickeningly sweet. The entire shop is a treat to the eyes.
