The tour manager recommended we travel into the old town center. I found this restaurant through Yelp and their Rosti varieties plus the food quality are exactly what I needed for a lunch stop. The Rosti did not disappoint. Full disclaimer: Rosti can be a bit heavy with the cooking process that can include butter along with some bacon. Yes, the Rosti had the expected greasy texture, but just enough to make it savory without overpowering the various ingredients. I would recommend this restaurant if you are interested in trying the traditional Rosti dish in several varieties.

The waiter was super attentive and VERY nice. He suggested the cerdon, which is a local apertif of a sparkling rose wine which was tasty. My meal was non from the "menu" but he said he would make it one for me, giving me a small salad chevre chaud with the shrimp special of the day, which was very nice of him. My salad was beautiful and perfectly dressed. The shrimp was" flambe en Ricard" which is some kind of French alcohol. I am not a fan of cutting off the heads and pulling shrimp out of the shell but this was so good and the shrimp was perfectly cooked, juicy and delicious. Served on the side were perfectly cooked potatoes in a garlic parsley mix. They were so good. If I go back to Perouges with guests we will eat here for sure.

Ambiance was charming, service agreeable, plates could have been done better…read more La mère jean was my first bouchon expérience in Lyon and it was very nice. However I knew it would not be my only bouchon dinner after trying the typical dishes of eggs in red wine sauce and fish dumplings. I had never had these food before but I know how to cook so I knew something was off. The red wine sauce was thin and watery and the fish dumplings dense and pale. It was a Monday evening so perhaps the best chef had the night off. The wine was very good and the atmosphere was perfectly lyonnaise.

The execution was on point. The dumplings totally had pike/fish flavor but so light and delicate. However the star is what lies beneath it. The lobster bisque was insanely good and brought added dimension to the dumpling. It was served with scalloped potatoes. I started with the cheese and salad. I never had cottage cheese so fresh and light. No comparison to the one you get in the market. It was whipped with herbs and olive oil with a wonderful mouth feel. The dessert was a let down. A praline tart. I should have gone with the cheese plate, but I wanted to end with something different.

The restaurant did scramble to get us in that night. It was a little tight inside, but well worth it. The head of our party ordered 2 dozen oysters. He claimed they were the best and I would have to agree. For my main, I got the Milanaise Revisited in Elephant Ear. Don't worry it's not really an elephant, but flattened veal breaded and fried to perfection. It was wonderful especially with some crispy fries. I did get to enjoy the Candied Irish Lamb Shank. It comes in a large pot and I swear it feeds at least 2 people. The savory thyme reduction was decadent and the potato with porcini mushrooms made this a heavy, but wonderful dish. I wish I had the stomach to eat it all.

I actually couldn't believe I hadn't updated my review to 5 stars awhile ago. I have never had a wrong note with you. I just can't believe I didn't know about your set menu lunch deals! I always enjoyed the 19 CHF plat du jour of the day, but I didn't know you also had a lunch set menu for those with a larger appetite. For only 35CHF you provided me with a delicious appetiser, main dish, and dessert. My stomach was happily full for the remainder of the day. TIP: Other people also love Esquisse at lunch, so definitely be sure to make a reservation in advance. They have a little outdoor seating area on nice days that you can enjoy.

Two of us started with the salat mixta--impressive mix of greens and pickled and fresh veggies. Other co-pilot started with the arugula and parmesan salad. That, too was excellent. For mains, two if us had the risotto frutti de mar while other had the filet de perche with frites in the butter-cream sauce. The risotto portion was large and was just what I needed after a day on the slopes--nice assortment of seafood in a tomato base. I had a bite of the perch and it too was excellent (i will order that when I return). No deserts for any of us, but I had an excellent calvados while my friends were given, free of charge, a lemonchello. It's not cheap, but it's very good AND it's open on Sunday b
