La Bonâme de Bruno- Restaurant Lyon 1 — Restaurant in Lyon

If you have had enough Bouchons and want something new and inventive and light. Check out this restaurant.

We had the soup - tasted very light and the coconut milk made it taste very Asian. The asparagus was amazing. For the mains, we had the pigeon - we did not know what to expect but it was cooked like a duck - it was a wonderful tasty dish. We ended the meal with a dessert of soup with chocolate ice cream and rice pudding. All dishes were wonderful and amazing!

A must try in Lyon! Something different and inventive.

Addendum: we enjoyed the food so much we decided to go back for another meal.

Thank you Chef for another...
