    A very nice small typical half local restaurant in the restaurant street. I enjoyed the duck and the personnel working was very nice and polite. This is always not the case in those restaurants. I will definitely pay another visit next time I’m in Lyon.

    Visited based on reviews. Expected good things but was let down. Staff are lovely and friendly, and very attentive. Wine is also very nice. We ordered the calamari, which we expected would be delicious, based on Lyon's reputation as being a haven for foodies. Sadly it was that awful onion ring style of calamari that you'd pick up in a cheap British wetherspoons. I'll be honest, the mains were very nice (I had the duck and colleagues had steak) but we spent the time prior to the mains arriving anxious as we thought we'd made a terrible mistake with our choice of restaurant. It kinda ruined the whole night for us, and that one terrible dish made us all decide on offering an overall 3 stars. I'd highly recommend you taking the calamari off the menu, or do it properly.

    The steak went perfectly well with côté du Rhône rouges and champagne 🥂 . Creamy sauce of steak brings the fruitiness of wines and champagnes out! Great vibe too!

    I had a delicious menu here for dinner. It was so rich and decadent, especially the tortollini. We sat up in the Mezzanine area and I was able to see all the food coming out of the kitchen - it all looked amazing and with generous portions.

    Local bistro in Lyon, serves traditional food however would not recommend calamari as it is definitely cooked from frozen due to the texture. Food is ok but I would not expect something exceptional. Traditional dishes served with wine on the tap are available as well. The atmosphere has interesting interior decor however can be quite busy and noisy so could be challenging for an intimate dinner. Staff service could be better, while the blonde lady was friendly and showed good service. The brunet lady behind the bar could be seen being on her phone and served customers with a somewhat attitude giving off the impression that she didn't actually want to be there. Something to note for management.

    The seating was extremely tight. Had to climb over other customers to get to my table. Slow service. The beef rib was nicely cooked but extremely tough. We ordered 3 portions, rare, medium rare and well done. All were tough. 2 had nicely fried potato wedges 1 had raw potatoes. The burger was just okay. The duck breast was the best. Good prices.

    Brilliant dinner. We got the menu, 33 euro each. The food was great and serving sizes were healthy. The cheese ravioli starter was absolutely awesome. The half chicken main is also great. The mains are simple. Mostly a large serving of meat with potato, but its done brilliantly.

    Good food, nothing crazy but good sized portions. The steak however was 90% fat yuck. Great service but the tables in the rafters are a buzz kill, you feel trapped up there.

    Terrible experience. It was my second time and I was deeply disappointed by the food and service. first time it was acceptable, now burnt food and smoked sauce, nothing fresh. Great attention, danger of illness!!!!!

    Had an amazing experience, staff is super friendly and helped us in multiple languages, all dishes that we ordered were delivered fast, excellent and very well executed. The desserts were among the best we tried in our trip.

    No complaints, but nothing notably distinguishable. The poultry fricassee was good, not great. Ditto for a dinner salad.

👍 Nice experience in this new restaurant. Gentle staff, there is a nice feeling. I recommend the salads which are super tasty and creative. Could not experience the fresh juice as the restaurant seems to have some teething problems but I will come back in a few weeks to try more.
