I checked out Tripadvisor and found the #1 restaurant in St Etienne. Made the booking online and was a bit disappointed that it was closed on Saturdays and Sundays. I settled for the Friday to treat my erasmus year student daughter. i was running late but called ahead and they made us feel at ease and assured us it was no problem.The menu is a choice of three set menus. I put this down to their desire to produce consistent high quality by limiting the amount offered. I had a selection of snails and frogs legs for starters. A first for me and it was a revelation. Frogs legs are divine. I could take or leave the snails (l'escargots). I then had Ray for my main which coincidentally is my favour...
Very hard to find fault with my dinner here. A smart, stylish, not over-modern dining room with comfortable chairs. Staff smart and just the right amount of attentiveness. Wine list covers a wide range in price, including a good selection of half bottles for us solo business travellers. Dinner was fois gras en gele, preceded by a salt cod appetizer, rather larger than a typical amuse bouche, an excellent filet de boeuf in a St Joseph reduction with a zucchini gratin avec brebis all excellently done. Cheese selection was large and well kept and after another intervening surprise, desert arrived, a special instead of the menu Assortement de Desserts - a soupe au fraise, with an Creme Caramel m...
My apologies to French speaking readers, I am an American visiting for business. The restaurant has been a must stop for me when I am in the region for work or personal travel. The entire staff is professional and attentive, without being intrusive. The chef surprises and delights with his selections one of my favorite meals ever was here in early 2022 and a return visit later this year was also exceptional. If you are a gourmand, the creative use of local ingredients will keep you entertained and satisfied. If you are a wine drinker, the selection will keep you delighted and make even the most seasoned connoisseur have trouble deciding on just one bottle or appellation. I recommend this to...
We were looking for a place to organize a family reunion from overseas and settled for La Table des Lys initialy because their menu propositions looked very attractive: A gasronomic cuisine with a modern angle. We also liked their reactivity answering our emails.On the day of the event we discovered a private salon with a table prepared with taste and attention to détails then came the dishes and the wines who without exeption took our guest to a different world.Thank you all for making this day a memorable one.

Excellent meal having chosen one of the set menus. Wine reasonably priced for a good quality and service really attentive but not intrusive. Need to book as full on Friday night. Highly recommended and close to town centre.
What's there not to love? Fantastic food with range of set menus depending on budget or taste. Fantastically friendly and helpful staff. The wine list is more like a wine encyclopaedia . Not to be missed!
Very very very friendly and helpful staff. Pleasant ambiance in a cosy home-like environment. Top food. Very good wines. Parking is rather difficult, so just go a little bit up the hill for this.
Scrumptious and decent meals and wines only here. You may feel a little bit ackward if you are not used to this level of luxury but it makes you discover French culture at its best !

Really nice place where for less than 50 euros per person you get the service and the food equivalent to a Michelin restaurant. I strongly advise!
I liked the food but the service was awful. I recommend the chicken and potatoes, but avoid François the waiter who was rude to me.-
