La Cuisinerie — Restaurant in Lyon

There are hundreds of good restaurants in Lyon. This isn't one if them. We started by ordering two ginette drinks for 10€ apiece. They tasted like fruit punch, with no hint of gin. When it came to order dinner, tapas weren't offered on the Wednesday evening we were there. Why?No explanation was given by the waiter. He seemed like he didn't care. It's too bad because the tapas photos on their website looked so appealing. It'd be like Starbucks not having coffee or a pizza place not having pizza.

So we ordered ravioli to share, and the waiter came back and said they didn't have it. That was it. We paid our 20€ for watered down, expensive drinks and left. You'd be best to avoid this restaurant and choose one that offers the food...

Did some research and this restaurant had good reviews. And we agree - this is a good find.

It was a wonderful sunny cool day and tablea were set up outside with colorful placemats. We decided to sit inside - a quieter area.

The food was really good. The Chef played with the dishes but stayed true to its original flavors. The plating was always beautiful and each bit was fresh and delightful

We had the filet mignon with anchovy sauce for appetizer. For mains, we had the pulled pork and the Steak Tartin. Dessert was a good choice - the apple crispy had the right sweetness, tartness and crunch from the pastry.

A must try...

A really wonderful experience! We were a group of 3 that quickly expanded to 6, we had a very good reception complete with explication of the concept of the restaurant AND the menu. The ambiance was very cozy and the service with only two women running the show was fast and friendly. The prices are great as well! My only suggestions are more chips for the three tapinade dish, and a little bit of background music would add a wonderful touch to the already...
