Frommer's Review

This is one of the busiest bistros in Lyon, and sometimes the most amusingly raucous. Open only on weekdays and catering to the office-worker crowd, it's operated with panache by a team of hardworking employees who would probably perform beautifully in the trenches of a war zone. The fixed-price menus offer a selection of appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Each evokes old-time Lyonnais cuisine at its least pretentious, with such options as a green salad with bacon and croutons; eggs en meurette (poached in red wine); pork chops; andouillette (chitterling sausages) served with gratin dauphinois (potato croquettes); and several other kinds of sausage, usually with pommes de terre dauphinoise (a potato gratin dish with cream and garlic).

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
