Cosy restaurant with lots of ambience and history. Friendly and knowledgeable host We went for the cassoulet and it lived up to the reviews. Very delicious and flavoursome and very generous serves. Traditional and rich flavours with high quality ingredients. A very memorable dining experience! .

It is the worst hospitality venue in Lyon. Where have the welcoming and warmth gone? The glass of wine was only half size and had already gone off. After knowing the wine standard, we didn’t even bother to try the food; we left most of the food untouched.

Désolée de lire ici votre déception. Le vin servi était un cote du rhone, nous ne remplissons pas le verre plein !!! Nous servons comme affiché sur la carte, un 12 cl. Je ne pouvais faire plus qu’essayer de parler avec vous, ce que vous avez refusé en plusieurs fois. C’est dommage.

While it took me a metro ride to get here, I couldn't be happier with the food I had! There's only one waiter (who I believe is the manager/owner) and chef, but she was very friendly and the service was very quick! We had foie gras, cassoulet, confit de canard, and baba rhum. All were incredible!

Excellent food, service and ambience! Staff were very welcoming and warm, it made us feel at home and taken care of. The food portions are generous, and taste is delicious. The mushroom ravioli with cream sauce was fantastic! the beef steak was cooked to perfection and the potatoes were great! The lemon tart is fantastic! We are so glad we had this wonderful experience!

Fabulous food - every dish for our group of six was really tasty, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The service was friendly, helpful and respectful and the atmosphere was warm and bustling without being too noisy. it was great to have such a high quality restaurant open on Sunday evening. Our guests, who live in Lyon, were very impressed with it and say they will, without hesitation, bring both friends and business colleagues here. And we will be back for sure on our next visit to Lyon.

I am pregnant and we went to this restaurant to celebrate and share a good time with our parents who live far away and they travel tomorrow. We don't use to eat that much, so we thought we could ask for 3 dishes to share between all of us (4 people) however, the person who took the order was very rude, we explained to her I was pregnant and that was the reason because I could not eat that much and she said I had to order a dish even if we don't eat much because we were 4 adults so we had to order 4 dishes. It is the first time we have been in a restaurant like this, this persons also was in a hurry, pushing us to order very quick. Not at all good experience to be honest because at the end I was sick for eating that much and we could not enjoy the lunch as we wished. Also, We had to leave a salad that we ordered but we did not want it. It was too much!

The manager is nice to explain menu in English. Also she could speak a little Mandarin which makes me feel interesting. Although there is only one person eating, the service is still good. The food is nice and yummy!

A nice French brasserie. Portions are big so come hungry. They do a very good Salad Lyonaisse. All our mains were hearty and full of flavour.

This is one of the few restaurants that is open on Sunday night. Although it is not in the centre of Lyon we decided to give it a try and so glad we did. It specialises in home-made foie gras and yes it is so smooth and succulent. Other more classic dishes are up to standard. Staff were very attentive and explained every single dish in English - probably because it was not particularly busy. Overall we were very pleased with the experience and would recommend particularly if you like your foie gras.

The food (especially the Quenelles) and the wine were was very good, but what made the meal special was the attention provided and friendliness of the owner and staff. We are not French speakers and despite this felt right at home. You will leave hungry!

Best meal I have had in France - I had the duck leg and my friend had a chicken dish. Great wine, nice setting, and the wait staff were very friendly and accommodating to us not speaking French.
