    Friendly staff and good atmosphere, but my tête de veau main course lacked any flavour and was 80% fat. My wife’s quenelle de brochet was edible but bland. The staff were apologetic but it wasn’t an enjoyable experience.

    we were on March 31th. for Dinner there and very disappointed at the end. The bread was from the previous day and tasted like nothing. My beef meal was so over cooked , over salted and dry like a tree, so that I eat almost nothing but some of the vegitables. In general this restaurant used low quality and not fresh meat and bread for cooking. Almost all the guests were tourists. This reataurant has nothing to do with great French cooking culture, but a shame on it. Do not go there!

    The service was attentive but not overbearing, and friendly. The food, however, was overly rich, and extremely heavy. The choices were limited. I would not recommend it.

    The sweet waiter Tom reassured us after arriving late and welcomed us in a warm way, his recommendation was on spot. Started with the chicken liver which was too tempting and delicious to take picture of it before we dig it. That was Tom’s recommendation. The beef in red wine was perfectly cooked maybe needed a bit of salt and pepper but it was really tasty. The veal is a heavy meal, it’s for the brave hearted eater! So rich and tasty. The desert surprised us with the richness in flavor , it’s just perfectly sweet.

    The food was very average. Good to eat, but not to enjoy or be fascinated. Nice menu, all classics in it. Had tete de veau for main, and it was barely salted. Crispy, fat, succulent, but lacking taste. Nice service though

    Had the « Travers de porc de l’Aveyron » and it was delicious. Tender, sweet and balanced. Paired with a glass of red Bourgone for a quite pleasant meal. The restaurant is run by an enthusiatic team, very courteous and attentive.

    The appetizer was not tasty. The main course tripe sausage was pungent beyond eatable. The veal head was very greasy and jelly like.

    Bouchon Palais GrilletOwner

    Bonjour, Oui certains plats lyonnais comme la tete de veau et l andouillette sont particuliers, c est pourquoi nous vous avions conseillé de prendre autre chose que des tripes ou des abats si vous n etiez pas sur d aimer. Bonne journee.

    It is a simple, local restaurant serving traditional French food. The dishes appear simple, but they taste very good. I tried the best adouillette in this restaurant. Just be aware that their selection of desserts is rather small (and 7 euros for just ice-cream is a bit pricy). But, again, you are in Lyon, so for the dessert, you can go elsewhere.

    The staff were excellent and the food was amazing. The evening was spoiled for us by a noisy group of young people. They were loud and obtrusive in such a small space. There is little the staff can do about this. Perhaps separate large groups from couples.

    Hate writing this because anyone can have a bad night. My wife speaks French very well and she asked the server for water the server responded as if she didn't understand. At that moment we should have got up and left. Like everyone there is always someone in the group that doesn't eat everything. So she took the order and brought the water and wine straight away. Great. That's when the service just turned to neglect. 25 min later our appetizers came. And for the next 35min not a single person came by to see if anything was needed or to take the plates. We live in Europe and understand the rythm of each country we visit when it comes to service standards. Regardless of how it goes the server can always expect a tip from us. At that point the kids had had nothing to eat for over a hr and my wife went in to cancel the dinner. My wife went in to explain that we needed to cancel the dinner and what had happened. The waitress was trying to explain that the food was ready to go and was to bring to our table. My wife explained to the manager who was super cool what happened and kindly didn't charge us for our appetizers. Obviously it was busy, but what Saturday night place isn't. Other tables were being served with no issues and we just for some reason had bad luck. Despite the bad encounter i would go back b/c what I had was good and I bet what i ordered for dinner would have been good.

    They made no control of the COVID CERTIFICATE!!!They could not find my reservation, finally they found it and because it was overcrowded and no free table, they put me upstairs where it was too cold.

    This restaurant was an excellent stop for authentic Lyonnaise cuisine. The duck confit and Beef Burgundy were excellent. The service superb and the wine and deserts a perfect complement to a great experience!!!
