    Service was prompt and friendly. Menu abbreviated but acceptable. Smoke from outside wafts into the glassed in area; prompted our quick departure after meal.

    Le Cafe Francais Bar made a really nice Margarita. There seemed to be a problem with the kitchen. The menu was greatly reduced as far as choices. We chose Cheeseburgers. They took an hour to serve the food after the order. During that time, wait staff did not update us or visit our table. We had to go and ask. When we did receive our food it was cold and not good tasting. I hope they are able to remedy the situation. It seems like a great location with great ambiance.

    Food was just okay. Not nearly up to the standards of most restaurants in Lyon. Very pedestrian. I would not recommend this resto to anyone or ever eat there again.

    We booked a table before Wales vs Australia and the restaurant was very busy and was turning away people without reservations. Mce table outside watching the fans walking by!

    We went for New Year’s Eve, the set menu was delicious and great value for money. Food was lovely, the restaurant has a great atmosphere and service was good and very accommodating to my questions about the menu due to dietary restrictions. Restaurant is in a great location and we would return

    Food was delicious and affordable. Setting was vibrant and exciting. The style was cute and creative - old perfume bottles used for lighting. Really relaxing and enjoyable.

    Great location and great service. Beautiful interior too. Certain dishes are unavailable as the week ends so watch out for that. Can wholeheartedly recommend the place!

    Perfect restaurant for an informal meeting of a large group of business colleagues. Welcoming, attentive staff and a table seating that was both comfortable and attractive. Great food and knowledgable local wine recommendations added to the superior experience.

    We had to wait a long time for food and drinks. Food was not served to the four of us at once. The food was generally good.

    Nice reasonably priced restaurant downtown Lyon. The owner and waitress were super nice. The waitress made a mistake on a dessert and gave us one for free. The “dorade” dish, moelleux au chocolat and gaufre au chocolat were excellent. Very good price-quality ratio.

    We were greeted very warmly by the host/manager. His recommendations of the lamb and the fish (dorade) were superb. Great service and quality overall.
