​​🇫🇷 Lyon | Traditional Lyonnais Bouchon in a Cathedral Alley

🍻 ​​Easter Sunday Luck​​ On a quiet Sunday before Easter, when most French restaurants were closed, we stumbled upon this ​​cozy, time-worn bouchon​​ tucked away in an alley near the cathedral. The interior felt like a ​​half-cave, half-castle​​—rustic wooden beams, vintage red velvet chairs, and a charmingly "lived-in" vibe. ​​🍽️ Menu Highlights (Great Value!)​​ ​​💰 €25 Set Menu​​ Aperitif​​: Communard(a sweet blackcurrant wine—like juice for non-wine lovers!). ​​Starter​​: Salade Lyonnaise(the ​​BEST salad ever​​—crunchy croutons, gooey poached egg, and smoky bacon). ​​Main​​: Quenelle(fish dumpling) + Saucisse Lyonnaise(herby pork sausage). ​​Dessert/Cheese​​: Your pick! ​​💰 €30 Set Menu​​ ​​Starter​​: Foie gras(buttery and rich). ​​Main​​: Steak with green pepper sauce(perfect medium-rare, with ​​juicy eggplant​​). ​​Dessert/Cheese​​: Safe bets—nothing groundbreaking but reliably tasty. ​​🍷 Why We Loved It​​ ​​€55 for two​​ (with wine!)—​​unbeatable​​ for a full-course Lyonnais feast. The ​​owner/host​​ was warm, explaining each dish with pride. ​​Bonus​​: The alley leads straight to ​​Fourvière Basilica​​—great post-meal stroll! 📍 ​​L'Auberge Rabelais​​ 39 Rue Saint-Jean, 69005 Lyon ​​#LyonEats #FrenchBistro #HiddenGems​
