    The quality of food and service were just OK. My partner’s main course of liver dish was not the quality we expected. A very poor cut of liver overcooked.

    This was our first meal in France, and it was the perfect introduction to Lyonnaise cuisine. Wonderful food, attentive service, and well priced, I will definitely return my next visit to Lyon!

    We chose this restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday. The food was excellent, it didn't disappoint. Portions were generous for the entire 3-meal course that I didn't even get to finish it. Service was alright; the place was full so took time before anyone approached us to get our order. They did accommodate my special request to put a birthday candle on the dessert as a surprise to my husband. Overall, it was a very good experience.

    Ambiente medio, nè elegante nè povero, temperatura troppo bassa, cameriere impreparata sui vini e sul menù, conto squilibrato in eccesso.

    Very nice and cozy restaurant, located by the river. Very nice personnel, intriguing bouchon cuisine, on the gourmet side. Good wine list, not too many references but quality, at a fair price

    A lovely restaurant with a quiet adult atmosphere located across from the river with beautiful views. Food was delicious, service very good to excellent (one new staff member was learning). Would definitely return!

    A wonderful experience! The food was delicious! (There's just "something" about French chicken. It tastes so much better here!) The service was attentive, professional, and very friendly. This was the best meal of our trip! We highly recommend it - but make a reservation!

    Sorry I am not impressed with our food orders at all. The starters were better than the mains. But I am no expert on French cuisine so I would consider mine as a taste assessment. I lived in France before so I know the restaurants I got impresses by.

    We had most enjoyable dinner last Thursday night at La Mère Léa. The staff were professional and courteous from the minute we walked in. the food was simple and exceptional. We especially liked the lamb with macaroni and the chicken and mashed potatoes. Definitely recommend a trip here as an upgrade to a traditional Bouchon.
