Dishes were artistic, well thought out, creative and very delicious. Warm service from the front of the house manager. I would only add that while the dessert looked good and had creativity, it could improve taste+texture-wise. (Cocoa cake wasn't great, shaved apple was quite a strange addition imo not necessary) Highly recommended to try overall!

Despite the work this evening, the cook still took the time to chat with the diners and feel welcome. Very recommended for everywhere. We went to Paul Bocuse on this trip and I can't say it was much better!

Going to Lyon, food is expected to be delicious almost everywhere. But this restaurant was fantastic. It was Asian fusion French cuisine. Every dish was incredible. The dishes were from this world, so delicious! Everything about this restaurant was perfect. The waiter and cook were so friendly and accommodating to the food preferences of the table. That was one of the best meals I had in my life.

A unique fusion of Asian and French influences that do not always connect perfectly. That said all three courses were delicious.

The xiao long Bao was tasteful and had the right amount of soup. Unfortunately, 2 of the 4 had torn to the ground. The main dish was a beautifully prepared, soft fish with risotto. They don't go together completely, but individually both were amazingly prepared. The standout was the dessert. Lemon meringue, Litchi ice cream and a fruit cream bakery were probably the best dessert I had. I've been thinking about France for a long time. Service was a little slow, but it's just a 2 man operation: the cook and the server. I'd shoot this place if you're on the edge.
