LITTLE - Petits Gâteaux — Restaurant in Lyon

Absolutely terrible- steer clear. We went in for lunch and the menu looked nice enough. The “salad” was old lettuce that had gone slimy and one cherry tomato cut in half. It was not edible. And the avocado toast was also bad- crappy bread, half the avocado was hard, and little to no flavour. I’ve made avocado toast that’s 10x better in my own kitchen. I took a look in the kitchen as I was paying after and small wonder- it was tiny and looked really dirty. I can’t remember the last time a restaurant served me food that had gone bad... Unbelievable.

When I searched for cakes on google maps, this place popped up so I had to stop by. And I'm sure glad I did! Their assortment of cookies, cakes, cupcakes, and numerous other options all looked so good. Being in the mood for cake, I bought four cupcakes, and they were all perfect. The service is terrific as well. It took me a minute to decide which flavors I wanted and in the meantime, the lady at the counter was helping a customer on the phone. She kept apologizing for the delay, which she didn't need to do at all. I'll definitely be back to try more of their...
