My first visit to Garden State was not exactly what I was expecting. First, there are two locations…read morein the Bellecour area, maybe one block from each other. So when my friend and I couldn't find each other and both insisted that we were at the Bellecour location, it took us a few minutes to realize there were actually two Bellecour locations. We decided to eat at this one since they had tables set up outside and it was a nice, sunny day. We sat down around 11:15 and the restaurant was not serving lunch yet so my friend ordered an espresso and I a tea. The tea was okay but nothing special and it cost almost 3€ which I should have expecting, seeing as how this is a tourist area. They finally started serving lunch around noon so I ordered the Italien Croque Maison which was mozarella, grana padano, tomato, aubergine, and fresh basil on a toasted whole wheat sandwich bread. My friend ordered the Chevre Wrap which was chevre, tomato, lettuce, black olive, and artichoke on a white flour wrap, toasted in a panini press. Both came with a side salad of fresh greens, sundried tomato, a tasty balsamic dressing, and topped with sesame and poppy seeds. I tasted both sandwiches and they were both yummy. The melted mozarella sandwich turned out to be a bit too heavy for a warm, sunny day though so I would definitely recommend the wrap if it's hot out. We really wanted smoothies with our lunch but this location doesn't serve them until April so we headed to the second location to try the Bonne Mine, an orange-flavored smoothie. I definitely don't think it was thick enough to be called a smoothie. It was more like a mix of fresh fruit juices. But it was very tasty! Also, at this other location, they had an easily accessible refrigerated to-go section so you could just grab a cold sandwich or wrap, plus whatever sides you want, like tabouli or a salad, and various desserts such as yogurt, fromage blanc, or tiramisu. I might try the to-go experience next time. I'm definitely glad to know this place exists, even if it wasn't absolutely amazing, because it's fast and fresh and somewhat more healthy than other fast food options in the area.

Being new in Lyon, I didn't know where to look for interesting places to eat, but in my heart I was…read moresure the best spots were not those in plain sight. Oh, how I was wrong, since in Lyon good food is everywhere, and Garden State, centered at the heart of Place Bellecour offers just that. It is a great spot to have a quick or more relaxed lunch while gazing at the passers-by. The offer is of constant quality but of variable choice, so ask for the weekly specials. Most dishes are healthy, still being filling, and there are plenty of vegetarian options. I recommend you to take your time, and enjoy your meal in the sun, you're in Lyon after all!

This was our first Michelin restaurant in Lyon, France and we went there for lunch. The food was…read moreabsolutely incredible which we gave it 5 stars. Service could be improved due to other Michelin restaurant I never had to refill my glass with water which hurt them. The restaurant was well decorated, cozy and inviting.

Ambiance-1: Where you get seated in this restaurant matters a lot. We came for the "immersive"…read moreexperience of watching the chef in a "unique" setting but instead got the unpleasant experience of watching guests go in and out of the bathroom. With the exception of another couple and their dog, our family of four were seated in area separate from the main dining room, next to the bathroom, isolated from the open kitchen and other diners. A note to future diners: make sure and request a table in the main dining room. Food-4: with the exception of the pigeon, the fish , vegetable, and dessert courses were well presented with delicate flavors that leaned toward the floral and fruity. Meal and wine pairings were good but not revelatory. We expected more from a Michelin starred restaurant. Service-3: uneven, one of our junior sommeliers was excellent and she really made our experience better whereas the head waiter provided perfunctory service. Overall-3: Without the actual "immersive" experience and "unique setting", the food and service alone was not enough for this dinner to be memorable.

This is a gastronomical experience for both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike to branch out and try new vegetarian flavors. The kitchen adapted seamlessly to my pistachio allergy.

Amazing vegetarian option in Lyon. Everything is vegetarian by default and I believe they can…read moreaccommodate vegan and other diets. Very helpful servers speaking English among other languages. The sommelier was friendly and excited to recommend a good wine for me. The also had two different non-alcoholic drinks that were interesting and refreshing. They have one seven course menu so everyone has the same menu at a leisurely - but not too slow - pace. The whole wonderful experience added up to only 90 Euro! Might be spendy by Lyon standards but it is very reasonable coming from USA. Highly recommended.

The good: - the fries - small portions (maybe not such a bad thing!) and amazzzzing seasoning. We couldn't get enough. - the homemade lemonades. Yum. - the branding and decor.

It's certainly good quality, and the sauce is tasty, but my boyfriend left hungry (maybe because I forced him to share his tiny portion of fries?) ...the green salad is just greens and meager dressing.

If you like a tasty burger but can never finish the whole thing, or if you always feel gross after gorging on too many fries, this place might be juuuuust right (bring Baby Bear and Goldilocks with you). En gros: Pas mal du tout, mais en cas de grosse faim, prenez deux burgers.
