Contre-Champ

Fantastic service and delicious food! I stopped by for lunch on a weekday after walking by and admiring the interior and was able to get a seat without a reservation. I loved the flavors of the ceviche as well as the celery root “sausage” brioche. I might have a new favorite vegetable!

It was my first time in a Michelin star restaurant. What can I say, fantastic experience! Great quality of food and great flavors combination. Everything is studied in detail and the small details make the difference! Friendly and professional staff. I recommend this fantastic experience to everyone! À bientôt!!!

Exceptional experience. We came for lunch as a group of four and had the seven course menu for 89 euro pp. The restaurant also does a 35 euro lunch menu. Reservations will need to be made early for dinner or the weekend - we were luckily able to get a table that weekend for the Tuesday lunch. We didn't read the menu beforehand and just sat back and enjoyed the experience. The meal started with an amuse-bouche of the four elements and ended with some sweets with coffee. I can't fault the courses - I enjoyed them all. My favourite was the 'egg' dessert. I'll think about this one for many years to come. The cost was about 450 euro for people with champagne, wine and coffee. Thoroughly recommended for a special dining experience in Lyon.

Not just a fantastic dinner, but a unique experience we will remember for a long long time. We enjoyed every steps and travelled far during our evening at Jérémy Galvan.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the experience and not in a good way. Over the top presentation and frankly subpar food. I can't even remember what anything taste like. It was all about the presentation and them trying to convince what the food should taste like. I also realized afterwards they double charged me.

We had lunch with five courses and wines to match. The food was delicious and the wines worked well with each course. The only course I found a little disappointing was the desert. There seemed to be more attention paid to surprising us with the indredients (potato and cider) than to the flavour of the food.

Wow to pay so much money and not feel like I’ve eaten any food. The best chefs normally highlight ingredients not turn everything into cream. Really disappointing and the only real solid food that came at the end was lamb and it was totally well done and tough. Most humorous thing is that they give you the chefs book to read during one of the courses. For 160 euro go eat something else. An experience it was - one that was not enjoyable

This was an amazing experience, and I cannot think of a single negative thing to say. First, so many artistic chefs, and their food, are portrayed as nonsensical, just putting something on a plate because it sounds interesting or avant-garde. I did not feel that way at all here. Each course (and the meal as a whole) made complete sense. The item choices and flavors paired perfectly with the rationale for the course, and even with the timing in the meal. Second, I anticipated that out of ten courses that were made up of many parts, there would be something that I wouldn’t like. I was wrong. Every bit of it was delicious. For my drinks, I had the wine/vegetable creation option, and both paired well and were delicious. Third, everyone who worked there was incredibly nice and made the experience even better. I was there alone, but it didn’t feel like it. Some other things to note: - The whole experience took about 3.5h. Again, worth it. It was a complete experience and also 10 courses, and I didn’t feel rushed or that I was there forever. I was also full when I left. - There are (I think) two rooms (maybe more, but I only saw two). The first room is brighter, but the second room downstairs is a bit darker and a blue color. I was in the blue room, which felt more like a tranquil cave than a regular restaurant, like the other room. Get the downstairs blue room if you want a more calming experience. - I speak English and very little French, and while I’m not sure if everyone there speaks English, at least a few do, and the people who helped me told me about all of my courses in English. Also, I was never left feeling confused about what to do with what or how to eat something. All of my questions were answered. It wasn’t assumed that I should know how to eat something I had never seen presented before. I genuinely loved this. I was excited to watch other people get the courses I had already gotten because I knew what experience they were going to have. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to be taken through a gastronomic experience.

Beautiful plates but terrible taste. I'd give the presentation and creativity a 5/5. I'm no professional food critic and it could be that I'm not used to the cuisine, you could shit on me for being an average Chinese American and not have a high class taste or being uncultured, but i felt pretty stressed starting from the 3rd dish. This is my first Michelin experience where I felt like I just want to leave in the middle cause my tongue and stomach was giving up on me due to the taste, smell and fatness of some of the dishes The starter dishes were ok, interesting taste and texture. The duck breast and "un moment de liberté" was great. What really killed my appetite was the swamp dish or En bord d'étang, it does kinda taste and smells like a swamp, really fishy, I can only finish half before I feel like throwing up. Second dish that killed my appetite was the foie gras, I know it's suppose to be fatty but that dish tasted like the duck had obesity, I'm not used to eating so much fat and the the kumquat was too weak to balance it out. I was only able to stomach half. There were multiple savory dish that had some kind of fishy after taste that made me wanna throw up a bit more each time. I exploded internally when they told me they added fish head bones to my white chocolate dessert. It tasted like white chocolate but the thought of having fish in it is a bit hard for me to stomach, same with the chicken skin with chocolate and caramel, which surprisingly wasn't terrible.. but I like my desserts to stick to the boring ingredients sometimes.. All I got to say it definitely tasted like the wild and nature and I realized I can't live in the wild. The desserts were a life saver for me after all the discomfort with the previous heavy dishes. On the bright side, the staffs were really friendly and did a great job explaining, they were really patient with the 2 of us who couldn't speak fluent French and had to rely on them speaking English. I can also tell that they put a lot of effort and love in designing every dish. Sorry if it sounds rude but hey, it's hard to put on a poker face when this was more than 300euro meal for 2 person, I wasn't expecting it to be a stressful experience. I was sad and imma take a break from Michelin restaurants, realized I can't have expensive things. I'd rather eat a $5 banhmi now. Thanks for reading, im sure some people love it like the other tables sitting next to us, but I'm just not there yet.

Delicious meal, pretty restaurant and professional staff. They serve the food, you est it and then they explain to you what you ate. Interesting experience, with a few caveats: 1. It took three hours and a half, which is a bit too long in my opinion. 2. The wine pairing didn't work that well with the meal. For a Michelin star restaurant, wine pairing should have been perfect. Overall, a good experience.

This was the best culinary and gastronomical experience of my life. I have no words that could describe the absolute deliciousness, creativity, care, and brilliance that went into the making of this phenomenal food. This place is not just a restaurant for food, but an entire experience. You just have to surrender to the food and you will enjoy yourself immensely. The kitchen adapted perfectly to tomato and chicken allergies. The staff was incredibly kind to translate for us. We received non-alcoholic pairings with our courses. This restaurant is a dream. Everyone must come here. I hope that I will have a chance to enjoy this once more in my lifetime as nothing else will ever compare to the genius that is the Jérémy Galvan restaurant of Lyon, France.

Wonderful restaurant in Vieux de Lyon. A few words to describe it: Hidden Gem. Local. Small. Personal. Gourmet. Creative. Unique. Special. Affordable (especially for the value provided). Fantastic service was also noticed. Our server never left us wanting for anything. He even jumped in at one point when he saw that we were about to pour our own champagne. Very professional, intelligent, and courteous. Also very quick on his feet. The food presentation was also very impressive. Everything was beautiful and unique. Even the potato side was a spectacle. We did the 38 euro/per person prix fixe menu. Starter. Entrée. Dessert. Insanely amazing price for what they provide. They could easily charge 75 euros or more per person. We enjoyed everything. Great experience. Only critiques: 1. The 1 room dining room is quite small and has a direct door to the kitchen. 2. Room temp was a bit warm.

When the wow factor is applicable to every dish, design and ingenious creation this young and modest chef amazes you with... you know you have come across a rising star.
