    Take the time to savor each mouthful of this exceptional dish that is calf's head (the best in France), followed by a rum baba of unequaled finesse. Let yourself be lulled by the history of this family and the gentle welcome of the owner, Thank you for this incredible experience which proves that the Lyon tradition remains worthy of white hats. A Norman who will come back very quickly to discover each dish on your menu.

    A unique place where time has stood still. Calf's head and delicious rum baba. A family in the kitchen and in the dining room. What could be better ? An address for connoisseurs.

    I've lived in Lyon for years and yet this is the first time I went to the Carpe Diem restaurant. How could I have missed this institution, located in the 6th arrondissement??? In summary, the 95-year-old chef and his son will take care of you with their bourgeois and canaille Lyonnaise cuisine: veal liver, veal sweetbreads in yellow wine to order, foie gras, andouillette, a short menu but so much the better. For my part, I chose the veal head with gribiche sauce (the best in Lyon apparently) and I was not disappointed. The cooking was perfect, the vegetables and the gribiche delicious. The plate was very generous. I confirm that it is one of the best veal heads I have eaten. For dessert I went for the imperial mandarin pancakes, not bad at all too. The rum baba was also very good. Next time I will choose the frozen Vacherin, a specialty of the house and which seemed enormous to me!! A beautiful address to discover and what's more, you will have the smile and kindness of the restaurateur's wife, who takes care of the room. Yum yum!!

    We were very well received, the owner spoke to us about the dishes that were served, we were immediately put at ease. We ordered our dishes, before coming to the restaurant we had consulted the menu on the internet, I recommend doing so you have to remember certain dishes like "veal's head" or calf's liver to be sure to eat them when the day comes . Everything is delicious. We highly recommend. Quality, price, very good value.

    (Translated by Google) An intimate restaurant that takes you out of time. From the charm of the dishes to the famous calf's head, we were won over! (Original) Un restaurant intimiste qui vous plonge hors du temps. Du charme de la vaisselle à la fameuse tête de veau, nous avons été conquis!
