L'épicerie de Ginette - Bistrot à Tartines - Lyon 2 — Restaurant in Lyon

Very disappointing experience. And I definitely won’t recommend this place for visiting.

1. Restaurant’s tables, cutlery, dishes are DIRTY.
2. Waiter forgot our order. AAs we understood after, our food was done and we saw it standing at the kitchen. We needed to call another waiter multiple times to be served.
3. Dishes were cold as result, steak was ice cold an we asked to cook another one.
4. Saw result it was uncooked. Not raw, cold from the fridge and just grilled for 30-40 seconds on side. 5)Waiter forgot water for two times 6)I ordered a code without lactose (using google translate) but I got a coffee with whipped cream… 7)There is no english menu and waiters don’t speak english. It’s not a big deal, because we are used to it while our trip in France. But they wasn’t even trying to help us. 8)Tarts are just bad. Sugar and a pinch of syrup. Not what was expected in France.

P.S. Cat is pretty nice, but it can’t...

French Onion soup was nice, although it did have a taste of an added powder stock. Steak was small but just a nice portion with salad and sauce. My friends Truffle Ham Croque Monsieur was OK, but the ham was way too fatty. Otherwise, it was actually tasty. Desserts are where the places excells. We couldn't decide, so we had 2 each!! I had !Chocolate Mousse and a Rhubard Tart, my friend had a Tarte aux Praline and a Lemon and Meringue Tart. All were delicious. Chocolate Mousse was perfect, halfway between milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Rhubarb tart was a bit tart but nice with chantilly cream. Praline tart was sweet and tasty. Lemon Meringue was very rich and smooth, heavier because it was not so tart but delicious. Good atmosphere and quirky design of an old French...

Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Ordered a bottle of Red Luberon wine and 3 different Tartines.

The wine was probably some of the worst red wines I've had in my entire life (for context I open 1-2 bottles of French/Italian wine every weekend). The Tartines were decent, nothing to rave about

Ordered a Tiramisu for dessert which was truly a REGRET!!! I am utterly shocked they have the audacity to serve that trash cream cake as Tiramisu and yet no one has complained!

The only reason they are still in business is because they're in a tourist area, hence they can trap all tourists on a one-off basis. Save your money and appetite...
