TheForkUserNice Moroccan restaurant in Old Lyon, short walk from Metro and Funicular. Welcome was enthusiastic and service was friendly and courteous. There was some background music, but thankfully not so loud as to impair conversation. Food was nicely seasoned and plentiful - we shared a Mezze appetizer and two mains, and would have been very satisfied with just one main. Would return if in the area.

TheForkUserLovely welcoming atmosphere. The maître d’/waiter was run off his feet due to staff illness but maintained good humour throughout. Heroic portions. Classic French dishes with a twist. Good wine list. Reasonably priced. Steady trade even on a wet Tuesday night - clearly popular with locals. Everyone treated like a member of La Famille indeed. I loved it.

TheForkUserCozy and welcoming. Had the duck breast as main dish, which was pretty good, but the highlight for me was the dessert. Got the strawberry sorbet one and it was so good ! The staff were friendly and the service was fast. Didn’t order any alcoholic drinks but there’s quite a selection of different kinds of wines.

TheForkUserIt is not really a 10. However, there is no way to give it not full stars. I would say that the food is at about 9 by itself. The core of the dish is good, but the plating (e.g. the additional elements that are on the plate) could be more fun. Good wines are available and they are not expensive. With the discount, this is good QPR.

TheForkUserToday, I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff explained to me that all the dishes are made with seasonal ingredients. They also mentioned that the menu changes every month, which ensures that everything is incredibly fresh.The staff also shared that the chef at this restaurant follows the culinary philosophy of the renowned chef Paul Bocuse, which is modern French cuisine. This approach focuses on healthier, simpler preparations that highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients.What impressed me even more was how friendly and enthusiastic the staff were. They even recommended a local market in Lyon for me to explore, showcasing the city’s vibrant food culture. I loved how welcoming they were, and it truly made me feel the warmth and hospitality of the people of Lyon.I truly enjoyed every bite and appreciate the thought and care put into the food. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
