The wine selection is small but appears to be well chosen. The highlight for me are the pastries (and especially the macarons) by Sève.

In this area, you eat lunch "plat du jur" or a small menu for 12-16 Euro, even at an Asian place. Here you can get a small bowl of pasta or paella, fruit salad, and cappuccino for 13-14 Euro. Also their espresso and cappuccino are good. What I tried: tomato mozzarella salad, paella, orange side, macchiato, and cappuccino during my stay at the nearby ibis hotel. The only thing I didn't care for was the orange aide, which was flat and flavorless. Free WiFi! Service: Very good. Friendly people who are willing to understand your bad French & speak in English I'm usually against the pre-packaged food and plastic containers, but this is a good option for weary travelers.:)

I tried a mille-feuille and a Paris-Brest here. The mille-feuille's layers were beautifully crispy, and the cream inside was delicious. Simply executed, but absolutely divine. The Paris-Brest had such a vibrant flavor that I've never tasted before; Lyon is known for its pralines and the praline cream inside each of the choux pastries was just... unbelievable.

As with many patisseries a Lyon, this one nailed the presentation. Beautiful desserts. I got this…read moredark chocolate-covered cake-like thing with a chocolate ganache filling in the middle. Supper tasty. Perfectly dense and not dry at all. Why no 5 star? I guess it just wasn't "off the chain" somehow. There are a lot of these shops in Lyon. They can't all be exceptional, can they?
