Les Retrouvailles

Again a very good surprise, a very special restaurant typical of lyon, I really recommend it if you want to taste a real French food French w

I am so sad to say that I had such high hopes, but the need we ordered was literally swimming in a pool of oil and “rare” in France is raw. Good to know : . While they did cook it more for us, my husband...was sick the entire next day and could not leave the hotel room. Completely ruining one of our only three days in the beautiful Lyon.

Terrific foods with entrees and plats varied between salads, meats, steak and seafood...Very fair prices...nice 4 course prix fixe for 2 and carafe of wine for under 80 euros...we also got Suze...the French apertif wine...dinner came with an amuse bouche...served by warm lovely woman owner...and I think her husband ran the open kitchen...classic French...very warm service...much better than the more commercial bouchons brasseries closer to the river...went twice...everything delicious...

Looks like a bouchon at first glance, but is in fact a 'regular' restaurant. I am limited to restaurant menu French, but we were made very welcome by the owners chef, as usual at such Lyon restaurants. Really excellent food of an unpretentious sort, including standards...from Lyon and France in general. A wide range of desserts laid out on a central table. Not expensive. On our list to return to on our next visit.

We had a nice evening. they are very friendly and it was super easy with the allergies of my wife! highly recommended to come here to have a wonderful experience.
