    Highly recommend this restaurant. The food was incredible, the service was superb and the atmosphere was intimate. My husband and I enjoyed our experience here and look forward to coming back. The beef dish was magnifique.

    We reserved with the Fork because they offered -50% . . . Once there, we check making sure the reservation was at the right name with the right system. When ask the bill, the manager didn’t honor the offer. We felt sorry for them. They need to steal to survive. An example of poor people doing a poor job. A shame for such a beatiful city. A shame for such otherwise good reputation

    7/10

    Beautiful setting on a meticulously designed terrace. Meals are very well presented, truly a feast for the eyes. The gateau de St Jacques was delicious with a flavourful crayfish sauce, and the quenelle of brochet very good. However, the lobster was slightly uncooked, making it too gummy and the risotto needed a bit more salt —an issue that could have been easily fixed if a waiter had been more readily available on the terrace. As for the dessert, it was very generous and the cake aux pralines was a delight, but I would suggest less chantilly next time, to better appreciate the cake’s flavour. The waiter was very courteous, smiling and charming, but not enough present outside to attend the potential extra such as salt, pepper ….

    Menù in French only and so you have to imagine the dishes. We’ve taken an horrible beef fillet, gummy and hard to eat and for this reason totally left on the plate. Vegetables and potatoes without Condiments. Low quality of ingredients in general.Meat dishes not recommended. Kind and courteous waiters, Prices in the norm.

    A restaurant where time is suspended in a perfectly mastered retro atmosphere. Tasty, generous dishes that combine tradition and modernity in just the right balance. And charm, lots of charm, for this mythic Lyon venue.

    We had a fantastic dinner here. The staff does not speak English, however, the food is great and they were very accommodating to our broken French . The place is very elegant with classical music and a quiet atmosphere. We recommend it 100%

    Lovely teams, great atmosphere. The main courses were exquisite. However, the starters were mostly there (o ctopus salad) with details that made it not great: the herbs on top of the salad were a little brown, and the pate en croûte lacked crunchiness

    Located in the center of Lyon, this restaurant is a place where you need to stop : food, wine and welcome reflects the cook Lyon spirit. I will visit it again.

    Enjoyable and delicious early dinner with family. After a warm welcome we chose to eat in the comfortable and cosy saloon in the back. Service was a little slow towards the end of the meal as all tables were occupied between 7 and 8PM, so reserve in advance ! Menu has a selection of local Lyon and French dishes. A truffle risotto is available for vegetarians. All our different starters and mains were well prepared, good quality ingrediants, well presented and generous quantities ! Some small points for service as : All our drinks were served directly without the associated bottles + At one stage we needed more napkins due to delicious sauces, but our waiter didn't detect this. Make sure you are hungry enough first if you want to finish a full menu !

    Very nice restaurant with nice interior. Food thoughtfully prepared and presented. I had quenelle prepared in a very unique way, my wife had monkfish that was quite good. I hope to make it back in the spring or summer when it's outdoor seating is open.
