MAISON LÉA — Restaurant in Lyon

Excellent food and overall experience. A great discovery, highly recommended and I will certainly be eating there again.

After a last minute change of plans we went there without a reservation and were lucky to get a table for three, it filled up quickly just after we arrived.

Very welcoming staff, nice relaxed atmosphere in the dining room and a reasonably priced menu for the location.

Everything we ate was delicious. The modern take on a Salade Lyonnaise and the asparagus with a hazelnut mousseline were first rate starters.

For the mains - my rabbit dish was perfectly cooked, the meat fell off the bone but was nicely firm and very tasty, the vegetables a perfect complement. My companions greatly enjoyed a chicken supreme and the quenelle.

Not having had a hand in choosing the wine I can't comment on the wine list but the Pinot Noir we drank was very good.

The Chou Tout Chocolat I chose for desert was hilariously big and...

One of our absolute favorites in France - yes, France, not just Lyon. We’ve been regulars since it was La Voute chez Léa, and it has only become better and better.

We always look forward the food and seeing the staff, who we see as friends! This is an absolute MUST for a...

The whole experience is impeccable. Service was amazing and they were very warm and friendly especially we have kids with us. Our was wonderful, light and refreshing. The Foie Gras and the terrine just enough to tickle the palate and get you ready for the mains. Scallops for the wife and Sweetbreads for me for the Win! Delicious, delicately done and very flavourful! topped it off with the cloud of a dessert! Definitely recommend to go here. BTW, we booked a reservation a couple days prior, so make sure you make your reservation.

Oh yeah and my 7-yr old daughter loved her Chicken fricasse and my 10-yr old son demolished his...
