ADONYS — Restaurant in Lyon

The food was slightly above average, offering a decent culinary experience, and the decor provided a nice ambiance. However, our evening was marred by an unpleasant incident which we took to management. The menu offered, by the bottle, “non-alcoholic beer”. My husband ordered one. When it was delivered, the waitress popped the cap off, and served it. My husband took a sip—it tasted like apple juice! Looking at the label of the green glass bottle, “Laziza” brand, it called the product a, “non-alcoholic malt beverage” apple flavour (there was a big green apple image on the label). No mention of the term “beer” anywhere on the label. When my husband went up to complain (he wanted/expected BEER, not a fruit juice!), the manager was very argumentative and kept saying it was “non-alcoholic beer”. The manager was very insistent, and was being very loud (other diners could hear him clearly). My husband argued his point, that it didn’t say anything about it being a “beer,” and that it tasted like fruit juice, in any event! Several minutes of arguing later, my husband came back to continue our meal together, visibly flustered from the experience. The manager was not backing down, and a minute later, came back to our table, going, “HAH!” and shoving his mobile phone screen in front of my husband’s face, showing him a photo (perhaps from his beverage supplier?) showing a Laziza bottle, with text underneath, describing it as a “non-alcoholic beer.” (Not a description which was on the label of the product, however!) When it came time to pay, then ensued YET ANOTHER minutes-long exchange over the whole incident. The “non-alcoholic apple flavoured malt beverage” was taken off the bill, but not with the manager continuing to be insistent the drink was a “beer” and making sure other clients (the restaurant was fairly busy) heard his opinion, mainly being that my husband was being ridiculous. What a jerk! Food was FINE, I had for a drink the “tea with pine nuts,” which was very underwhelming (black tea with a spoonful of raw pine nuts floating). The tabbouleh was very lemon-juicy (& I normally love lemon juice), but with really any noticeable bulgur wheat (mostly parsley) to soak it up. Will not return due to the utter rudeness of the manager (other staff were friendly) and his ignorance of what constitutes a non-alcoholic beer (when one has such an offering listed on the menu). P.S. The soap dispenser was EMPTY in the ladies’ toilet & no other...

The restaurant is overrated. For a person who doesn't know Lebanese food, he'll see it as something big. I tried the following, and as a lebanese I can say: Taouk: it doesn't taste like taouk, not even close. Shawarma: it has the same taste as kebab, so it's not the real shawarma you eat in Lebanon. Falafel: you can break your teeth if you eat them, and they don't taste like real falafels. Grape leaves: they are the one you buy in cans, so they are not prepared in their kitchen, and they add lemon juice and some olive oil to it, so I felt disappointed. Sambousek lahme: they had put so much cumin to cover up the bad taste of meat, and the sambousek is not fresh and has a bad smell and taste. Fatoush: it's ok Hummus: it's ok Lemon juice (Lebanese lemonade):we bought the big one , freshly squeezed from their machine, this is the best item on their menu.

Overall, the restaurant is overrated The service is good, but the food is bad. They plates prices are not cheap We paid 50€ for 2, including 2 plates and 2 lemonades. But the food quality is not worth it, and I regret...
