Reviews
We had a wonderful dinner here the other day. Started at 7:30 and ended around 10:30, and although we were expecting 7 courses we probably had 11 or 12 because of all of the chef’s surprises. Every dish was plated beautifully, with many flavors and textures all well thought out. My favorite of the evening would have to be raspberry dessert.
We dined last night at this venue upon recommendation from Hotel Diu.
Unfortunately the food did not meet our expectations.
Presentation was superb, like art on a plate.
However for our family of 4 the vast majority of meals were for display purposes as opposed to balance of flavour and ingredients.
In fact majority of our party of 4 could not eat the first 3 dishes, pork, frog and Scottish fish. Mind you these were all surprise dishes.
I think 3.5 is where I place this restaurant.
We have had far more superior dinning experiences across France and most recently in Lyon.
I was aware of price before making my reservations, certainly not at the lower end of price. However I did expect a better food journey than I experienced for the price we paid.
In addition to above, the restaurant includes surprise dishes on top of your degustation menu - this was a nice touch and surprise.
Our waiter was wonderful, I don’t recall her name.
Good but not great and certainly not memorable.
It was okay but definitely not worth a 4.8 - had the 6 courses one - the desserts were extremely disappointing - not thoughts put into them and the two were self-repetitive - also did not like the main courses, the veal + persimmon was a good idea but the fish one was a diseastor - tasted worse than the fish dish of my college cafeteria also I found something not edible in the fish one and no explanation/apology whatsoever after asking twice. a waste of money+ the limited number of meals i got to have in France.
Wonderful meal here. The menu changes. Sitting outside on the street was not very relaxing due to traffic and people passing by. Go inside instead. You get to pick your own knife. Highlights for me were: maigre, tender razor clam, lamb, and cassis dessert. Rhubarb and blackberry dessert was not the right plate to finish on. Sommelier was delightful.
I would give 1 🌟 to this restaurant!!
Such an amazing experience during our stay in Lyon!!
Before the starter, we received 4 different “surprises from the chef” so lovely !!
The food was well prepared with love! Love the wine paring part as well.
The service was also stunning, introduced all the dishes and ingredients.
Guess what, 2 more “surprises from the chef - dessert “ came after we finished our dessert’
5 courses plus all the surprises = 58 euro.
Do visit it while your stay in Lyon
One word: perfect.
Service is attentive and authentically friendly & warm from the welcome at the door over the whole evening until the goodbye.
The dinner was an incredibly well executed journey over 7 courses. Well explained by the service, each dish was an exquisite composition of flavors and textures. I can only highly recommend the wine pairing.
This will definitely be one of the most memorable dinner experiences in my 2023.
Thanks to the team of L'Etabli for a wonderful evening.
Great restaurant! Menu degustation was very good, we did have no space for more ! The food is great with local products and good natural wine.
A wonderful culinary experience.
Had on of my most wonderful dinners at this place.
Every dish was an experience by itself.
The wine I was recommended by the sommelier was a great choice of a full body wine with great taste and smells of a bouquet of flowers.
The service by the staff was exceptional as well.
If in Lyon it is a must!!!
Back here again with my wife.
Again another wonderful eating experience from start to finish.
No need to add words.
If in Lyon go and enjoy a wonderful evening meal.
