A friend and I had an extraordinarily good meal at This restaurant on a Saturday evening in March, 2015. The place fills up, so make sure to have a reservation. Seating begins at 7:45 pm. The atmosphere is a little rustic, but not too kitsch.
We began with aperitifs (pastis for me and port for my companion), delivered right after we were seated. We received complimentary "tastes" of e delicious onion soup. For appetizer, I had salad with pate and langoustine. Everything fresh and beautifully presented. We both had the coquilles St. Jacques with mango for dinner. The dish was served piping hot, and came with plenty of seafood. We never did find the mango, but it was delicious nonetheless. We drank a lovely bottle of Sauternes recommended by our amiable hostess.
After the main meal, we ate delightful white cheese -- soft and smooth- served with pear slices. And finally, we ended with a dessert made from the last clementines of the season, surrounded by chocolate.
All in all a very memorable meal. From the looks and sounds of other diners, pretty much everyone was enjoying themselves.
This place is a tad more expensive than others in the Vieux Lyon district, but is worth every bit. Go and enjoy!
This place loses one star because we couldn't find the mangos in our dinner, and it is on the noisy side. Still, far above average in my view. read more
