The place is very nice, cozy, a real French style restaurant! It was a bit crowded and thus the service was a bit slow.

Despite having booked using the app, and getting a confirmation email, the restaurant had no recording of our booking. It was very busy as it was the festival of lights, and we witnessed people who had no bookings, being turned away. Fortunately, after showing my email confirmation, the waiter got us a table and still with my request of a table by the window. The decor is absolutely stunning, and passers by stopped to take pics of the interior. The food was exquisite and the service impeccable

Well worth going for the splendid surroundings and the excellent service. My meal was excellent, but friends veal was not great. Grisly, so poor quality meat. Staff very friendly and efficient. Overall, expensive for what it is, but glorious place to be in.

We walked past last night & thought this place could be fun. Turned out tonight to be a bit of a factory. Adequate food, uncaring service, cramped tables & zero X factor. Lyon can & does do much better

The restaurant is beautiful and so ornate. Both the service and the food are all top notch. If you ever find yourself in Lyon, it is a must try! The only thing to report is that I was able to book online for 6:15pm, and when I phoned to alter the reservation to 7:30pm, I was told that reservations start at 7pm.

Decor and general ambiance very nice and the food is in very good quality although not too creative. The host was unpleasant and the tables are not organized in a way that is inviting or comfortable, not to the guests and not to the staff. Pity

Food is mediocre and some plates are simply not good. A long wait for service. The location is central and the inside decoration is traditionally nice but all in all very expensive and poor value for money.

Love the Christmas ambiance... truly a special way to celebrate Christmas holidays... service was relaxed... we were in no rush. French toast croissant with salted caramel ice cream desert was over the top ! Wonderful way to spend our Sunday afternoon in Lyon..
