On the first night of our first visit to Lyon, we could not have had a better introduction to Lyonnaise food. We did not book but were shown to a table in the back room which soon filled up with other diners. We started with kir communard while we studied the menu. Eventually we decided to start with saucisson and potatoes and a salade du marche and followed with quenelle (a very tasty pike dumpling) and a bavette. We shared a fromage frais and a poached peach with ice cream - all delicious. Everything was excellent including the Saint Veran white wine and really very good value.
We visited 30th August 2016.

We felt very fortunate to have secured a reservation here (done WELL in advance). There were a few hopefuls waiting at the door when the restaurant opened at 7:30, and they were turned away. Charming little spot with eclectic decor.

Food was interesting, but we were not entirely clear on the proper approach to some of the items being served. My husband ordered frog legs and while his dish was tasty, the frog legs were tiny, baby frogs with numerous bones. There were lots of legs, but it took quite a bit of effort to eat to avoid the bones. We LOVED the pot of wine option. It was excellent and an excellent value.

Service was very good and very friendly. And the food is good, but not our favorite in Lyon.

After traveling in France for 2 months, my husband and I think this was one of the top meals we had! I had the lunch pre-fixed meal and my husband ordered 3 meals off the menu. All were delicious and incredible (including the house wine)! I would return again!

Perfect experience in Lyon. Enjoyed their 3 course Prix fixe menu with local specialities. The sausage and potato appetizer could have served as a delicious meal for me, but the food just kept coming. The quenelle was the best we had, and the sausage main course was very good. Service was amazing with the servers moving in a choreographed dance of efficiency. Very professional with helpful English skills. This was one of the most excellent restaurants we visited on our trip.

We were welcomed so kindly, and fed so well! The chef came to visit with us and others in the establishment. Everything we ate was simply wonderful. It is a very small restaurant, so reservations are highly recommended. We were there on a Tuesday evening and there were no other tables to be had. Excellent food.
