Le Celest by Radisson Blu — Restaurant in Lyon

The Good— The view and comfortable seating.

Not So Good — The coffee and the wine.

Verdict — Other than the view, strong WiFi, and comfortable seating, there is not much to speak of when it comes to this establishment. The prices for everything are very high. That being said, the level of service you would expect is absent. I ordered a glass of wine, and at the price point, I have become accustomed to the server offering a taste and serving me at my table. It is not the case here. They pour the wine at the bar and simply bring it to you. I expect this from a lesser establishment, but from this location, it was a bit of surprise. The service was acceptable. Friendly and welcoming, but nothing high-level.

It has been renovated & turns out to be more modern. However, it has lost its "coziness" as some seatings are positioned differently. It used to have a great night view from the inside; it still does but no longer as breathtaking as it used to be. There used to be live music entertainment on one weekday with jazzy melodies of a singer & a piano. Rumor has it that they'll bring that back but in the meantime, one will just have to contemplate without it. Fortunately, their cocktails are just as good. Don't hesitate to ask for your favorite cocktail even if it's not listed...

C'était le paradis? peut-être, peut-être pas, mais ça y ressemblait. C'était délicieux! After a difficult day working in a country I so greatly respect but woefully am not a great speaker in, I needed something comforting. I ordered wine and the roasted vegetables with ham and arugula. It was heaven and Geraldine, my amazing and patient server let me try to order in French and helped to pick delicious wines. Thank you to Geraldine for making my day a bit more delicious and a bit more welcoming....
