The restaurant is quite small with seating for about 28 people with a somewhat unassuming exterior. The kitchens opening hours is from 19.30-21.30 and a couple were unfortunately turned away at the door. We were greeted and quite quick the waiter noticed our lackluster french and provided help with translating the french menu.We had a lovely meal where especially; the green peas with smoked ham as a starter, the 72h cooked beef cheek for main and the "disassembled" tiramisu as a lovely finishing dessert is highly recommendable. Had two glasses of local wine from the region which complimented the meal very well. All in all we dined two people - 2 courses with a shared dessert for 70€ with exceptional value for money. We had an excellent dinner and I would highly recommend this culinary pearl in Lyon.

The white fish was delicious as so was the assortment of cheese and strawberry dessert. Loved it and planning to recommend this place for others to enjoy.

Excellent service, warm welcome, kitchen worthy of a starry with tasteful and neat dishes, all accompanied by good wine for a more than reasonable addition. I strongly advise, if you're looking for a restaurant at the height of the reputation of French gastronomy, it would be a shame to miss this excellent address. Get your eyes closed!!

Food was excellent at prices that I did not think were too expensive although the wine was perhaps a little pricy for our tastes, but by the glass was sufficient. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
