We had to try the mussels and we were not disappointed. Tasted as...fresh as if you were in Normandy. Of course, the food would not have tasted so good without the very good service we got..

We especially love the succulent oysters and sweet langoustines. The price is fair but not cheap. We found that it is better value if you order the seafood...ala carte than if you order a standard platter from their menu. Only pity is that they do not offer any sashimi. We ordered some hot dishes like escargots and seafood soup and they were both delicious! The servers speaks very little English and it was a little hard to get their attention. They were always rushing around and did not pay much attention to their customers. But once you succeed in ordering, the service was fast and efficient. Although service is lacking, the food more than compensate for it. We will certainly come back for more seafood when we visit Lyon again.
