"This small restaurant ticks all the boxes of satisfaction with the first visit. We had dinner there for two nights and we would return for more if we had more time in beautiful Lyon. Located in old Lyon it is quite pleasant in decoration and...atmosphere. It is run by a middle to third age couple. The lady does the serving and her husband is the chef who occasionally serves the desserts or changes dishes and talks to the clients. They are both so warm hearted and gentle people and they gain immediately your heart. The food is another story of satisfaction and pleasure. There are six starters and six mains. You can order them a la carte but the real hit here are the two menus 29 € and 34 € which are both of incredible value containing a FOUR course dinner starter, main, cheese AND dessert . Whichever you may choose the dishes are all just superb and are all worth trying. For starters, the mushroom soup was something different than ordinary similar recipes. It was not full of milk cream but it was thick and very tasty. The Retrouvailles salad was another big hit: green salad with foie gras and a whole big shrimp. Delicious and generous portion. Finally, the gateau de lapin en jellee a la fleur de thym was the best starter of all, a BIG juicy terrine with big tender rabbit chunks and wonderful herb aromas in a soft gel. The mains were also great. We tried beef steak with grain mustard sauce a heaven for meat lovers , onglet de boeuf with shallots a trademark dish in this restaurant, so delicious and finally the scallops with milk cream and mango!!! a truly fantastic recipe with an outstanding taste . Two choices of cheese, white creamy cheese and the local star Saint Marcellin. The desserts were all put in a big table in the centre of the sale and you could inspect them all and choose the one you like great idea Small list of wines from which our good waitress proposed to us a very good Chardonay. Reasonable price for all that quality and quantity. Most of all, however, what made me rank it with five points and not only four was the whole sense of hospitality, service and grandma quality of food, all offered with a smile from the owners. It was really a unique experience. VERY STRONGLY RECOMMENDED"
