Regain restaurant LYON — Restaurant in Lyon

For the first time in my life I wanted to leave a restaurant immediately: unwelcoming, bad attitude. The first two courses of the tasting menu were overflowing with mayonnaise. In the third course, where there should have been morels, as stated in the menu and as they were presented in other plates, they were so microscopic that only sauce remained in the consistency of soup, to which two pieces of bread were served. When I tried to ask the waiters passing by our table to change my plate for a standard portion of this tasting menu, they passed by, not noticing me or not hearing me, since the music was very loud in the room. Nevertheless, the sommelier came up to me and after listening to my request, instead of helping to resolve the problem, began to loudly scold me for the whole room, attracting the attention of visitors sitting at neighboring tables, that “this is a tasting menu” and that mushrooms are not the main thing in it. When I insisted on the standard presentation of the dish, she began to object to me even louder, saying that she did not understand what I wanted, ending her performance for the public with the phrase: "Do you want the dish to have huge mushrooms?" After that, all desire to stay in this place and continue the romantic evening in the city of Lyon, where we had come specifically to spend our first evening in this restaurant,...

Regain is an absolute standout! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance struck the perfect balance between elegant and relaxed. It's clear that every detail — from the décor to the playlist — has been thoughtfully curated to create a truly welcoming dining experience.

The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and locally sourced, and the creativity in the menu shows real passion and culinary skill . I will forever remember the desert with kiwi, chocolate and parsley ice cream

Delicious food but that's about it. I never ate smaller portions at a restaurant and I've been to many. The main course was split in 2 (not sure why) with the total meat being well below 100g with no sides. And the first part came cold. I never received a sorbet or ice cream using tea spoon sizes. For the entrees we received 1 asparagus and for the 2nd a quarter for of a small mushroom with some sauce. They said that the bigger tasting menu (we took the 4 courses) has even smaller portions but I sincerely cannot imagine it. We complained at the end to no resolution what so ever, only that "it's supposed to be this way" which is absolutely not the case. We paid 167€ (55€ for wine) to go out and search for something to eat. I can recommend this only if you're almost full and have 100€ of...
