🇫🇷 Armada | A Cute Bistro in Lyon’s Old Town 🍷

I’d seen this place recommended before—finally dragged friends along to check it out! I originally wanted to try their kingfish, but the lovely (and super friendly!) waitress said their menu changes weekly 😈 (She even gave us great food recs—what a gem!) The food here is tapas-style, perfect for pairing with drinks 🍻 there are spots for soaking up beauty, places for wandering, countless great restaurants, and desserts that look almost too indulgent to eat. You won’t leave feeling like you missed out, yet there’ll be just😊 We ordered squid and duck breast: The squid was so flavorful—tasted like a fancy version of "stuffed cabbage squid rings" (so good for my Chinese palate! 😂) The duck breast, marinated beforehand, was tender and juicy—each bite was pure satisfaction! Plus, the side of crispy potato chunks? Irresistibly savory 🥔 Most wines are sold by the bottle, but ask the waitress for single glasses—they have daily picks! We tried red and white, and both were delicious (even for casual drinkers): The red had a subtle glutinous rice finish—I loved it, no harsh tannins! The white wasn’t too sweet, just bright and refreshing 🍇 The vibe is amazing—definitely a spot I’ll revisit next time I’m in Lyon! Uu (friends), remember to book ahead! Name: Armada low-cooked in a pig’s bladder, smothered in cep cream. The tender chicken and rich mushroom sauce are a match made in culinary heaven—no wonder it’s their signature 🤣 Address: 16 Rue du Bœuf, 69005 Lyon oie gras with plum jelly, served with buttery brioche. The freshly baked bread, topped with a nut crumble, paired with silky, cool foie gras is a heavenly fat bomb. The plum’s sweetness and fruity texture add lovely layers of flavor😊 #HiddenGemBars #LyonFood #LyonLife #MySpiritualBistro #CozyBarVibes #SecretLocalEats#Lyon #LyonFood #MichelinStar #MichelinRestaurant #PaulBocuse #FrenchCuisine #FoodLegends
