10/10Amazing food and great service, really enjoyed the fact that our server ,(she may have been the owner) knew so much about the food and where the produce came from.

10/10Saturday night dinner out in the centre of Lyon with a friend. Picked this place from TripAdvisor as came recommended. Not disappointed. Had the feel of small personally run restaurant. The 'maitre d' looked after us very well and made some good wine suggestions. A simple menu but well cooked and presented. Good value for money. Would go back again if we were in Lyon

Spent 2 weeks in France, ate at many fine places in Paris, Burgundy, the Loire Valley and a great Brasserie in Le Havre. This was the finest meal that I have had in many years. I had a veal dish 15 years ago in Paris, I still remember it- the veal that I had at Carre Royal may have been better. My daughter is a pescatarian, and found the food excellent. I went off the board with dessert and had a Chartreuse Vert ice cream - very interesting ! Lots of great places to eat in Lyon, but if I only had one chance at a another meal in Lyon, it would be here.

10/10Food was amazing and service impeccable. We had a two-day stop in Lyon on a cruise and searched for just the right French restaurant with great reviews. This was a 15 minute Uber from where we were staying and worth the short drive! We had salmon appetizer and veal, and foie gras and seafood risotto. Paired with a 2014 Domaine des Perdrix Echezeau Grand Cru. The dinner was perfect. Poached pear and rice pudding for dessert was just the right amount of sweet and not overpowering. Leaving happy.

10/10I would give the food 6 stars if possible, it was really exceptionally good without being pretentious. The wine list also caters for all tastes. If I lived in Lyon, I would eat here once a week.

9.5/10Very nice little restaurant with great food. When the restaurant was full, the service was not the fastest, but always very friendly. The atmosphere and food was great so we were having an excellent evening and highly recommend it.

10/10The staff was very friendly and accommodated the fact that we spoke no French. The menu was not expansive, but that is typical of restaurants that want to focus on quality, not quantity as this one does. Our entrees and plats were superb. Especially nice was that we could order wines, very good ones, by the glass, so that over the course of our very fine meal, we could try three superb wines.

10/10Excellent food and service. We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. It was quite busy with only one person serving and we still received attentive service. The food was creative and delicious. Do not expect fast food, which I truly appreciate, take time to enjoy each course with the wine!! Would definitely reccomend!

I ate my final dinner in Lyon at Carré Royal with my first love in Lyon. It was a very sad occasion but the quality of food and service made me forget the sorrow. The staff was very kind and accommodating especially to my lack of the French language. I will be visiting this restaurant if I visit Lyon in the future. Amazing drinks and presentation. <3

We were delighted in finding this restaurant, particularly on a Monday night when most places were closed. We got there a bit early and were seated immediately. We enjoyed cocktails, the cocktail "maison" was especially delicious. Service was attentive, and the room was spacious allowing us room to easily move in, out and around, and share conversation in private. The food was most excellent, beautifully plated and delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant.

10/10So pleased I found this restaurant. The food was amazing. The service was great. The wine flowed! I was looked after very well. If (or rather 'when'), I come to Lyon again, I will make this a destination, for sure. Do go. You will be very pleased you did.

10/10The food was delicious, beautifully presented. We found the menu interesting and the food combinations unusual and perfectly balanced. The fish dishes were particularly light and fresh, with delicate herbs. The ambience is peaceful, but quietly lively. The staff friendly and helpful. A wonderful dining experience !

7.5/10We spent an overall very good time at the restaurant. The quality of food was relatively high. We thought, however, that it was too expensive for what was given us on the plates (both the produce and the quantities). For instance, the cheese platter in the menu comes with a hefty 4 or 5 euro supplement. I ordered this expecting to see a variety of cheeses. I only got three quite small slices that were good but not the types I would have expected for such a price (one cheese was a morbier which is one of the cheapest cheese you can find on the market)

9.5/10Well chosen menu, thoughtful wine list, gracious host, friendly and helpful and patient with our fumbled French. We had the hake and the risotto, with the ravioli to start and cheese to finish. A St. Veran and a brandy, as well.

9.5/10Excellent food in a very fine ambiance. Superb wine ! It’s off the beaten track but worth de detour to this upcoming neighborhood, just for this restaurant. If ever we’ll be back in Lyon we’ll for sure dine here!!!
