Restaurant Albert — Restaurant in Lyon

I wish I could have tasted their food but they did not let me.

On Saturday, I first entered the restaurant at 8:30. I was told all tables were booked and they kindly asked me to wait for an hour. I accepted. In the meantime, I went to the (pretty good) wine bar just across the street.

I came back just an hour later to check if they could host me. The staff showed me an empty table and told me it would be ready for me to sit in 5 minutes. I waited 5 more minutes before they told me that, in the end, the chef refused to cook for us. Apparently, the night had been "too busy" already.

I spent a bloody hour waiting because I was asked to and I did not expect that. This is a very rude behaviour. I couldn't find a place to eat after that. It was already too late to go anywhere else. All other restaurants were either full or had...

I was impressed with the attention to detail from the moment I arrived. The reservation was honored, and they provided a pillow to ensure my baby was comfortable in the high chair. The service was respectful, efficient, and the food arrived in a reasonable time — we didn’t have to wait long at all.

Our server offered helpful advice regarding the cooking level of the meat. Initially, I ordered it well-done, but he suggested medium-well instead. He was absolutely right – it came out perfectly cooked, exactly as it should have been, and was absolutely delicious.

The dishes were beautifully presented, and the table was spotless and well-arranged. The price was very reasonable for the quality of food and service – 39 euros for a three-course meal, including cheese before dessert.

I highly recommend this restaurant and will...

My wife had a GREAT fillet mignon!! It was served with a Ratatouille sauce and dipping the bread was a real treat!!! I had the Sea bass (called "fillet da le Bar" on the menu -- MIGHT have been a misprint). We had it with a cold red wine that was a local label and it was worth WAAAAYYY more than the 10 Euros we paid. Total meal was 53Euros... just fantastic. Highly recommended! It is not air conditioned, but NOT a problem; avoid sitting too far from the windows if you sit inside, since the flow of air can miss you. Sitting outside is best, but you'll be lucky to get one due to the crowd. The kitchen was visable from the dining floor and the chef and others working were visable. Only one waiter and he never missed anything managing about a dozen tables - a true professional. Go and enjoy - why its priced this low...
