    A nice birthday dinner. Everything fine but without the Fork discount it would be well overpriced.

    Didn't get discount as advertised on fork. Some of the chicken was undercooked but fresh meat was provided

    I’ve been using the fork for 10 years this was the worst experience I’ve ever had. The owner received us well, checked the reservation and we sat. Turns out they only apply the discount to 3 or 4 main dishes and not the rest. I asked the owner why was that and she said she couldn’t apply the discount on the others because it would not be worth it, and she kept constantly trying to make us order the menu which would not be covered by the discount. I’m pretty sure that this is against The Fork policy as ALL main dishes are subject to discount and not just a few. We ordered 4 of the ones with discount and when we got the bill it had the full price. The owner than said she would not do any discount because she wasn’t finding the reservation after all. I said I wouldn’t pay and threatened to call the police and only 5 minutes later of insulting me and my friends with racist comments she corrected the bill and we payed the correct amount. Food wasn’t even good.

    Who would have thought of going to a Portuguese restaurant in Lyon? But the restaurant was full and the food and service were very good. The waiter/bartender helped us choose dishes and we were very satisfied.

    As a Brazilian couple going to a Brazilian restaurant in France we expected a taste of home. Instead what we got was small portions, expensive dishes and slow service. The staff was nice and at the end made small talk and did a 50% the fork discount with no fuss. But it took 40 mins before the entrées were served and another 20 before the dishes arrived.

    Great environment, beautiful decoration and great drinks. The food is delicious. It considerably different to how it is made in Brazil, it is clearly adapted to French style, but still great and I would for sure come back.

    Delicious Brazilian food accompanied by an entertaining samba show. We highly recommend the place to families since the kids will surely enjoy the lovely ballerina.

    Great little spot in old Lyon. We had a lovely meal and were able to access the wifi to use The ForkPay function on the app. We recommend anything off the traditional plates from Brazil.
