Lyon French Restaurant

Lyon French Restaurant 🍴 Le Nord is a renowned restaurant under the prestigious Paul Bocuse Institute—true to its name (“The North”), it’s part of a group with sister restaurants in other directions (South, East, West) too.❤️ I’d been wanting to visit for ages, and finally made it with friends. We had a funny moment when the four of us ended up ordering seven starters—oops, but no regrets! Here’s the breakdown: Starters 🥗 The standout was easily the prosciutto-wrapped melon—a daily special recommended by the chef (so it might not always be on the menu). The melon’s sweetness balanced perfectly with the salty, cured ham, making it super refreshing.💕 Next up: baked snails. The snail meat here was plumper and more tender than at other French restaurants I’ve tried. The buttery garlic sauce was classic—rich, fragrant, and exactly what you want with snails (though, let’s be real, most French spots nail this dish).🤣 Then there was the Salade Lyonnaise (Lyon salad) in photo 3. It was tasty—fresh greens, crispy lardons, a runny poached egg—but fair warning: the meat was quite salty. Skip it if you’re sensitive to salt!😁 Main Courses 🍚 I went with steak tartare (raw beef), a French classic. It wasn’t mind-blowing, but it was solid—fresh, well-seasoned, with that satisfyingly tender-yet-firm texture raw beef lovers crave. The raw salmon dish was a pleasant surprise too—light, with a unique seasoning that made it stand out from typical salmon preparations.😍 We also tried choucroute garnie (Alsatian sauerkraut with sausages and pork), a classic from eastern France. It tasted authentic, though I found it a bit mild for my liking. Call me biased, but I still prefer German pork knuckle for that hearty, bold flavor!😁 The only slight letdown was the filet mignon. It arrived as a thick, juicy cut, but the accompanying sauce just wasn’t my cup of tea. Taste is subjective, though—definitely give it a try if you’re curious!😘 With all the raw meats and salty dishes, we paired the meal with a bottle of white wine and beers (beer with choucroute? Chef’s kiss). Prices range from €40–60 per person, and the portions are generous—totally worth it. In fact, this is one of the rare French restaurants where I didn’t leave stuffed (shocking, I know). If you’re after hearty portions, this is your spot!😘 #plogNewBlogger #FrenchLife #plog #FrenchCuisine #WesternFood #Lyon #LifeInLyon #LyonFood #LyonFrenchRestaurant #LeNord
