L'Officine — Restaurant in Lyon

Cockatail / Jazz rooftop bar hidden in beautiful Hotel Dieu in Bellecour. When you get there, go inside Hotel Dieu, look for the Intercontinental Hotel and then just across is the entrance of L’Officine. Once a month on Fridays they host a “Jazz Apero” so we came to enjoy! Dimmed lights and an exciting cocktail menu! We tried the “Peach Please”, “Montenegroni” (with a beautiful logo stamped ice cube) and finally a Royal Monkey (this one won!). Prices were around 15€. The jazz was beautiful! And we went out to enjoy the terrace for a while (they have warm covers so you don’t freeze in the cold season). The only remarks I would make is that we wanted to tried a Mezcal cocktail in the menu, but there was no mezcal that night. The appetizers menu didn’t look crazy so we ended up not ordering. And one of our glasses had the border quite chipped, something that in this kind of place you would not expect. It finally a fancy place to enjoy a night out with...

They didn’t pick up on cues, such as me putting on my coat, I went out to the actual terrace to take photos and a waiter ran after me as if I was going to take off on the bill that they didn’t ask me if I wanted. Btw, they only 1 or 2 white wines, I ordered the mediocre Champagne by the glass, the stemware was good but it wasn’t properly chilled.

The best thing about this place was the water, which I had to refill myself. Btw, I got there early not sure how the one bartender managed...

When we visited the bar, they had their Jazz event, the Apéro Jazz. The atmosphere was amazing with great vibes. This time we sat at the bar and tasted their Autumn’s signature cocktails as well as their selection of classic cocktails. Everything we had was delicious and unique and the presentations were outstanding. One of the highlights of the night were our bartenders- Thomas, Yazan, Julien and the entire team. They were excellent behind the bar, attentive and also lots of fun. The cocktail making process was amazing and we loved how Thomas explained us the characteristics of each cocktail and how the flavor changed with time. Thomas also prepared us cocktails personalized to our preferences and taste. They were excellent! When in Lyon, this is the...
