La Nef Des Fous — Restaurant in Lyon

starting off with our reservation, we arrived at the place at 9:30 pm which was our reservation time and we could sit at a table at 9:47pm we were sitting downstairs in the middle of a walkway for three other tables each time they had to go to bathroom or get up for something else we had to get up also to let them go. The waiters who didn’t want us to get up, tried to make their way behind our chairs and every time they passed it was like a hit on the back. They had these pillows on the chairs, since the chairs were really uncomfortable. I think they tried to make some better effect with the pillows, but one of them was with glitter on it even though I didn’t use the pillow and gave it to the waiter all my clothes were coverd in glitter we had some ravioli and risotto the food was very fancy looking but very salty very heavy too much garlic too much grease we want to change our table but wasn’t possible while other available tables are empty and when we mentioned this on our way out the waiter simply said “oh well”.. the place had no air to breathe very...

Thanks the kind waitress for calling us back to take the last minute reservation . We had a midnight diner in this stylish ghost house . I feel Halloween is just around the corner . 🙈 🙋‍♀️ I had a strange cold valoute with mint and nuts . Plates are decorated with colorful syrup dots . Cooking is very fast . The walls are decorated with curious little things and oil paintings of dogs in suits . 😁 The waitress even gave us two glasses of wine bc we had to wait for 10 more minutes . The table is decorated w flowers and strange stuffs like old telephones . The duck in chef's sauce was interesting . The sauce was between a gravy and orange juice . The three flavored creme brule is also interesting . There are edible flowers on the sorbet . The place is not noisy . So happy to go...

Cool restaurant with funky antique furniture and fun atmosphere (there's a bathtub filled with koi down the stairs). Friendly service with a smile and solid traditional French food. I had probably the best foie gras ever (the cold kind you put on crusty bread) as part of a 3 course menu. Salmon appetizer was like a sashimi on steroids - super tasty! Tried the fricasse of kidneys for the first time, which wasn't my thing, but the sauce was out of this world. Dessert was inventive and warm cheese with salad was excellent but seemed more of a starter than an after dinner cheese course. I highly recommend this place and would have come back a second time if I didn't want to keep...
