The warm welcoming, the delicious unique recipes, the excellent and friendly service. It is a no fail choice. The food is lovely and so are the people. Both are essential for a prefect dinner night.

We had a wonderful dinner with charming attention from Chef Laurent Rigal and the knowledgeable server as well. Our welcome was warm; we loved the comfort of the room, the music was nice (and not too loud) and the chairs were comfortable. We shared everything and ordered only one menu, as usual, but we were served three amuse-bouche anyway! One was a tiny Mexican-inspired soup with a spicy ball of gel inside. It was creative and amused our bouche. We were served a tiny brioche as well as bread and butter. Chef Laurent was entertaining, and the server explained every dish well. For our starter, we had the Arctic char, and it was delicious. For our main, we shared the Bresse poultry; it was a creative way to serve it, and we enjoyed it. We were served pre-dessert and mignardise. We truly enjoyed Chef Laurent's generosity. For dessert, we had the Peach mint cream--excellent! L'Alexandrin was our 21st dinner in a restaurant in Lyon and it was our best!

Beyond memorable. At one point, younger and spending a significant amount of time in the country, I could hold a conversation. Now, I barely can mispronounce my own name. Were I able to speak, I'd probably still be at L'Alexandrin talking with chef/owner Rigal who, along with an equally competent colleague, worked the room all night. Each course exceeded that of the previous one and the wine pairing was generous. Very generous. Ok, very, very generous! An amazing evening, worth every Euro and one that we won't ever forget. Now, if only I could remember how too speak French.

Really an excellent lunch. Food was refined and generous (a rare combination). Laurent Rigal waited our table himself. Great explanations of the food and wine and their provenance (do try a dish with mushrooms, they were fantastic). A must do.

We were able to get a last-minute reservation for lunch, and we were super happy with the experience. We chose from the 3-course ala carte menu and had a fois gras appetizer and Bresse chicken for the main course. My husband had the chef's signature chocolate dessert, which he thought extraordinary, and I had the lemon dessert which was also excellent. We asked the server to pair glasses of wine with each course, and she made some very good suggestions.
