Monplaisir Côté Cour — Restaurant in Lyon

Beware not to skip this restaurant! It is a very cozy place with a warm atmosphere in a very nice courtyard. The staff is kind and attentioned even if they work fast (and I loved that because my husband was tired and we needed to go back to the hotel in a reasonable time). The punch of the house was fruity and refreshing. The ingredients were fresh so I suppose that some dishes change when the season changes.

An amazing little gem, tucked away from the street. The food was simply amazing, "casual fusion" is a good way to describe the mix of traditional dishes and eccentric modern touches. They also have burgers as a safe fallback choice! The atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. As we were hesitating on what to order, our waiter recommended the grilled fish (that we didn't even consider), guaranteeing that we wouldn't regret it. And we didn't. It was an amazing blend of flavours, with mango sorbet and nuts. The beef confit was also perfect! If you are in the area, hesitate no longer....

Monplaisir Côté Cour is a charming find for anyone seeking a relaxed and delicious meal. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a touch of rustic chic in the decor. It felt like a cozy escape from the city bustle.
