Bar de l'Escalier - Lyon

This was a really lucky find. Really hot day in Lyon and we saw L 'Interlude with just one small table available outside but in the shade and relatively cool. L 'Interlude is slightly off the tourist trail and was full of locals having their Sunday...lunch. We were quite late so were lucky to find a table. We had been sampling Lyon 's fine dining the night before (see review on Flair wonderful) so all we really wanted were salads. The salads were absolutely great lovely fresh leaves. tasty tomatoes and other salad ingredients, perfectly seasoned. We shared a dessert equally good. Nice wines by the glass and very good coffee. Charming and efficient service. Caution though they don 't serve dinner and close early on Sunday evening.

Wandering around in the afternoon we were too late to get lunch anywhere (most restaurants were through serving by around 2:30) when we stopped at the Interlude and asked the manager/barman/maitre'd if we could get something to eat. He explained that while the kitchen was...closed he could certainly put together a cheese plate and make us a salad. We sat on a pretty little shaded terrace and ate delicious local cheeses, drank wonderful new rose wine and were treated warmly and nicely even though eating at 3:30 was clearly out of the norm. L'Interlude was a friendly, pleasant place to eat and while away a sunny afternoon in Lyon.

Excellent value quality price.Good small house kitchen. friendly welcome. on the other hand, it is small and not very comfortable but pleasant.

Very friendly local cafe - had drinks, tataki and beef tartare, both well prepared. Relaxed atmosphere.

Thank you to nelly, Florian and to maxim for their reception in their restaurant where you can enjoy good small dishes in a very friendly and very friendly setting and also enjoy a beautiful terrace, pleasant for an apéro among friends ! an address I recommend you !!!!
