Amazing! Such a lovely place, with great service, such tasty food made with love by an italian woman chef. We had the grand menu and the italian menu and we lived a magical culinary experience. Everything was delicious and above our expectations. Highly recomand! I think its a must in Lyon.

We spent a magical evening hosted by the charming Alban Perez and his incredibly talented colleagues who prepared two delightful set menus for us on a warm spring night this March. Every dish was a work of art in both appearance and taste; I had the Menu Balade végétarien and my partner had the Menu Balade and we loved every bite. Every course that arrived was elevated by Alban's explanations—we were very curious—and wit. Afterward, Viviana came out to greet us and we had a wonderful chat about her professional journey from her home in Naples, Italy to Belgium, Norway, and elsewhere in Europe -- always cooking in Michelin-starred establishments -- before she ended up in Lyon. This is a warm, family-run restaurant without pretension or pomp; everyone pulls together and works hard to create magic for their guests every night. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is only a matter of time before it earns a star!

First time in Lyon and we stumbled upon this gem. The food is exquisite, with every dish thoughtfully explained, a flavor bomb in each. Arguably the best meal we’ve had since arriving in France. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Absolutely delightful restaurant. Impeccable service, wonderful food and a great setting. Superb cocktails and wine list. Choose from one of several “set” menus. An excellent choice in Lyon.

Great staff, very polite, explained everything, and even the chef came at the end to ask us about our experience. The food was great, tasty, I loved their pasta the most. The vibe is very pleasant, too.

Excellent in all regards. Well curated courses with some of the finest wines I've had the pleasure of drinking. The restaurant is family run but take note this family is highly professional! Every dish was a stand out, we enjoyed the seared tuna the most though! Octopus can sometimes be chewy but theirs was a breath of fresh air. The service was phenomenal, we felt a bit out of place initially because of the caliber of restaurant but they took us in without question and made us feel like dignitaries! Absolutely perfect, could not recommend more!!!

Lovely dinner! I had the Italian coursed meal with the beef addition. Everything was delicious but the beef course was the best thing I've eaten my entire trip in France - hands down. The staff are all family and you can really tell that this is a special place where the chef and waiters want you to have a great experience. Definitely recommend.
