A recommendation from a college friend who spent six months in Lyon as an adult led us to this cozy and authentic regional restaurant at the edge of Vieux Lyon. We had a very good meal with a lot of banter between us and the...diners at the tables nearby. A particularly good dish was the escargot and crayfish casserole, as was the pate de foie gras with shrimp salad. Another treat was the coconut cake to top off the dinner. There are rumors that the owners may be selling after forty years, so go sooner than later, and wish them a bonne soiree.
Terrific foods with entrees and plats varied between salads, meats, steak and seafood...Very fair prices...nice 4 course prix fixe for 2 and carafe of wine for under 80 euros...we also got Suze...the French apertif wine...dinner came with an amuse bouche...served by warm lovely woman owner...and I think her husband ran the open kitchen...classic French...very warm service...much better than the more commercial bouchons brasseries closer to the river...went twice...everything delicious...
Looks like a bouchon at first glance, but is in fact a 'regular' restaurant. I am limited to restaurant menu French, but we were made very welcome by the owners chef, as usual at such Lyon restaurants. Really excellent food of an unpretentious sort, including standards...from Lyon and France in general. A wide range of desserts laid out on a central table. Not expensive. On our list to return to on our next visit.
I am so sad to say that I had such high hopes, but the need we ordered was literally swimming in a pool of oil and “rare” in France is raw. Good to know : . While they did cook it more for us, my husband...was sick the entire next day and could not leave the hotel room. Completely ruining one of our only three days in the beautiful Lyon.

Vieux Lyon can be tricky to find a good place. We didn’t want a hoity toity Michelin place but also didn’t want a tourist trap. This place is perfect...traditional dishes that are cooked perfectly. Dessert is assorted and amazing. Exactly what we hoped for dinner...our in Vieux Lyon
Based on recommendations we went here for our anniversary....and was not disappointed....this is a don't miss experience...mom and pop place (with mom and pop doing the cooking and serving)...you won't be disappointed
The place is very small! Reservation is needed! The owner and his wife run the place, very efficiently! The food was great! We got the menu and it was delicious! Price right! Should be visited!!
We had a very lovely evening. They are very guest friendly and it was super easy with the allergies of my wife! Highly recommend to come here to have a wonderful experience.
