Best places: Modern french restaurants in Lyon, France

Unfortunately both didn’t seem fresh and were on hot plates that were obviously reheated. Service was truly awful which put a really nega...

👍 Busy restaurant but the service is still good. Entree are nice, but main courses chitterlings sausage and calf liver may be challenging for first time trial - suggest to take one of the specialty only. Overall, nice restaurant though a bit overpriced in Lyon.

The food lacked flavour, finesse, and French culinary...
