Beautiful views and even more beautiful plates, but unfortunately, the meal was a miss. We were excited to experience a staple of the Lyon food scene, yet many of the courses felt overly experimental or extravagant in ways that didn't translate to a cohesive or enjoyable flavor. It was a case of "style over substance". Every dish looked like a design masterpiece and the wait staff did an amazing job but we left feeling underwhelmed for the €450 price tag.

A very memorable dining experience. Definitely worth going to if you are in Lyon and you enjoy trying creative cuisine.

Superb food, delightful staff, great design and a spectacular scenic view of the City. French gastronomy is not always vegetarian friendly but I was looked after so well with the 6 course tasting menu. So much artistry in the dishes. A wonderful experience.

+4This was my first visit to a restaurant of such caliber and acclaim, and it deserves it. Worth the price of admission, the staff were on their game and the food was fabulous.

The food, service, atmosphere and view is exceptional.

Sublime food, beautifully presented .

The views and few of the courses were excellent, others also very good. The service coughed a bit in the beginning (probably because of the language barrier), but other than that everything went smoothly and we had a great afternoon.

Impeccable service and fantastic view. Wine parings were perfect and the progression of flavors and tastes was superb. Unforgettable

The service and menu selections were exquisite.

The food and the service were as splendid as the view of Lyon as the sun was setting. I enjoyed every bite of all six courses, with the amuse bouches and pre and post desserts. The wine pairings were excellent. A meal well worth its cost.

+2Stunning views over the city and a wonderful meal.

The staff were superb. Watching the team in action was like watching a well choreographed play. The gastranomique experience was well paced, and the flavors were perfectly balanced in terms of richness and lightness. The sommelier was very quick on his feet and his knowledge of the cellar was impressive.

Plates were delicious and beautifully presented. There were surprisingly many amuse bouche. Stand out dishes were the stuffed morel mushrooms, the pigeon and strawberry dessert. Our sommelier was wonderful, warm and knowledgeable. Appreciate that staff were conversant in English.

Very solid and view unbeatable

For starters, the view and ambiance is amazing! We enjoyed the chef’s extras as well as the four services menu. All of the food was very good, but my favorites were the white asparagus with caviar and the dessert, strawberry Mara des bois. It was a wonderful experience!
9.0
Amazing food, great wine list, but if you don't speak french half of experience dissolved because you don't understand what you're enjoying. The Great chief and his Team created wonderful menu, every flavor brings enjoyment.
7.5
Some dishes like the foie gras and the pigeon were very special. Others like the green asparagus were not remarkable. Disappointed by the service with a lot of interruptions in the middle of toast and reaching out for plates when I was appreciating the wine. We are in France , why would we get a US type of service?
9.0
A wonderful restraurant and wonderful food. The service was somewhat over active. Taking off things rather quickly, which was a surprise.

I had heard that the service was rushed. So I simply said that we did not want that to happen, and cited what I had heard. Our waiter then asked every single time if we were ready to proceed. I guess people don’t think to ask, and then complain. Not the restaurant’s problem. Theirs. Food impeccable, as is the setting. The sommelier is really responsive and knowledgeable and is pushing nothing. So…. Perfect.

+3This is clearly one of the finest restaurants in town. The views of the city are incredible. Of course, the menu is unusual if you are not local, but it’s worth the experience. Recommend.

Great service, delicious food and wonderful view

The food and presentation was excellent as were the wine pairings. My only complaint is each course came out too fast. In some cases I was still working on the previous wine pairing when the next course arrived and in one case before the new wine pairing was poured. I asked for a 15 minute break before the cheese course and 10 minutes later the cheese was there.

To be honest we felt cheated. We order a dish where the price range was stated as between 90€ to 200€. We emphasized that we want only a small portion the smallest and we pointed to the 90€. The waiter said no problem. When the portion came it was HUGE - before we ate we confirmed again of this was the smallest portion at 90€. The server/ carver said he would check with the chef and came back to confirm that it was. I acknowledge because we were English Speaking there may have been a miscommunication. But the manager who came to help us insisted rather rudely that the price was non negotiable. We asked that since it was a miscommunication- if she would consider a small discount - even 10%. She flatly refused. We believe her name was Catalina. She NEVER once apologised but the staff around were apologetic. I feel if the manager restaurant can see that they had some part to play in it - they should have offered a small discount - 20€ - it isn’t much but it would have spoken volumes.

The food was exceptional and service was superb! Very inventive dishes with dimensions of flavours.
9.0
The food is definitely at 1 står michelin level. To me it lacked just a tiny bit of acidity, but the courses were classic and solid. The sauces were spectacular as well the cheese selection! Wine they have a huge list, the bottle I bought I think was good price for good quality! There are also some many small details that can be improved but I don't wanna be the one that is considered the picky one! Good jobb by all the stuff! Will be back!

Great tasting menu and winepairing. Beautiful setting and service was perfect. Many thanks to the team!
6.5
The wait staff were all very friendly but seemed pretty new and inexperienced. The overall experience didn’t feel worthy of a Michelin star (chipped glassware, mistakes in service, metal pellets in the duck - which we were told was a sign of quality? Perhaps but no warning was problematic).

Perfect service, everyone is kind and professional. Very fine food, balanced and innovative. Nice ambiance.

As it was my 30th anniversary, they prepared a surprise for me and my wife. Rooftoop has a marvellous view.
6.5
Excellent location. But: Why forget the 3. wine in a simple pairing? Why let us wait for the dessert? Why not be able to tell us the ingrediens when asked? And why serve a very good- but to much dessert? Finaly- We hope the pigeon-dish improves. #hopedformore

This was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had, I often eat at Michelin restaurants and rarely ever leave any negative feedback. The ratings of this restaurant are much higher (which we didn’t realise before we booked) as it includes the bistro and rooftop in the same location. The food was bland, lacked creativity (foam in most dishes) and portions were small considering we had the 6 course tasting menu for 144€ per person. Very rude service after I requested nicely if it was possible to be seated at a different table (in a completely empty dining room at 7.30pm when they had just opened) due to having air con blasted on top of me. The manager came and actually shouted NO in my face and left, before I could even finish my sentence. The remaining servers were very cold, we didn’t feel welcome and they didn’t even refill the water, we had to ask after waiting over 10 min each time. I don’t know if it’s because we spoke English or because we are young, it was a horrible experience.

Great restaurant, great service, incredible views. Did not disappoint.

Excellent restaurant with great views . Food was nice overall and so was service. We have the chef special dish of lobster and calf head which was excellent. The chicken dish in the main course was nice but we found the texture of the chicken a bit chewy which we thght shldnt have happened at a restaurant of its stature

+4I had such a wonderful night experiencing the fine cuisine Tetedoie had to offer. The view overlooking Lyon was gorgeous and everything that I had to eat was divine. Would absolutely recommend the restaurant to everyone looking for an elevated experience!

Amazing view of the entire city, beautiful experience. Special thank you to Lea, hostess who was wonderful!
8.0
+4The restaurant has a wonderful view of Lyon and overall the atmosphere and service was excellent. The food made us wish for more - everything was ok, but none of the dishes have remained in our memory as something outstanding, neither in terms of taste, nor uniqueness, nor presentation.

If you go to Lyon it is a must place
