This place is beautiful.
Located on the top floor of the Sofitel Lyon it has a nice decoration and beautiful view over the river.
The food is amazing and you have the option of choosing wine pairing for smaller menus if you wish to. The sommalier was extremely attentive and made an excellent choice of wines for us.
We took the menu with 3 dishes and dessert.
We got 2 amuse-bouches: little selectionood aperitives and salmon on cauliflower pure. The dishes were: foie gras and chutney, scallops with mushrooms and white beans (delicious), beef filet with little vegetables and beef cheeks, cheese and pear pie.
It was a great experience.
My only remark is : they do not give menus with the prices to women. I got a priceless menu and my husband got one with. I believe that is very tacky and out of date practice!
I totally recommend coming here if you are in Lyon!
Pricey, but with some pretty good food, strong service, and an excellent view. It's definitely worth a try on your trip to Lyon.
I started with the oyster and scallop tartare which was unforgettable. That dish alone made it worthwhile. As it came with a sauce, I thought it was a risky order but it is probably one of my favorite dishes that I have ever had, which very crisp fresh, well prepared seafood with incredible texture.
I had this special Paul Bocuse inspired beef dish. It was good, but it was very expensive. Perhaps I might have not been prepared fully to eat it too as we had a huge lunch; therefore, perhaps its my fault and I should have ordered something else.
I had a great chef's tasting menu. 7 courses were actually 10! Wine pairing was good. I was refreshing to go from the "BIG" California wines to the more subtle french wines.
Everything was beautiful and tasty. Ironically, while I dropped about 250 euros the same thing at a high end restaurant in Vegas would have been pushing a thousand dollars (Rubichon)
