Giraudet - Lyon

Arrivés par hasard, une merveilleuse découverte ! Le menu découverte est d'un rapport qualité-prix imbattable, chaque plat est d'excellente facture et, surtout, l'accueil est chaleureux. Adresse à recommander, foncez !

Long wait to find a seat just to discover that you can only choose the combined menus with mandatory soup. No way to taste quenelles only, that are the speciality of Giraudet. Customer care is a concept definitely unknown here. Maybe the quenelles are super, but I will never know.

To paraphrase Hemingway- a clean, well lit place- but much more- an impressive selection of quenelles and delicious soups (which you are served while waiting for the Quenelle) The server spoke much better in English than I do French as she explained the selection and recommended a suitable dry (unoaked) chardonnay. A totally enjoyable and relaxing midday break from tourism on the go. Not to be missed!

Expect the classic French rudeness, quenelles were ok, only positive thing was the delicious pistachio cake. May be I forget the rudeness of the owner lady just for the cake or may be not. Find your quenelles elsewhere, they might not be bio but at least there smile would be sincere.

All the soups are served cold and are quite unusual and not really to my taste. Also the quenelles with fish in them were a bit too fishy. The other flavours of quenelle were better, but I was still disappointed by the overall experience as the dumplings were not as I expected, and the price was not cheap.
