  • “‘A must! Great welcome, and I'm not even talking about the menu with its specialities from Lyon and the setting. An exceptional boss, with a philosophy of approaching customers that we'd like to see elsewhere. Well done, Eric and Fred, for taking up this new challenge. A challenge, Eric, that you have always risen to in your career (and I know what I'm talking about). Of course I would recommend this Lyonnais bouchon, and you must know friends to whom you would be doing a great service by referring them to the Casse Museau.”

  • “This charming little restaurant had been recommended by the receptionist at the Grand Hotel des Terreaux. We received a very warm welcome and were shown to our table upstairs. There was a buzzy atmosphere with a number of large tables with local people celebrating a birthday. The restaurant was founded in 1947 by aunt Paulette. There is a small menu of rustic Lyonnaise fayre. I started with a Lyonnaise salad. Large portion, tasty lardons, perfect poached egg. Then I tried the andioullette of calf head with dauphinois potato. Lovely sauce with it. Absolutely delicious . Then St Marcelin cheese to finish. All washed down with bottle of Morgon . Staff were lovely. Would love to go back.”

  • “Warm welcome, thoughtful and personal service, a charming and unique space, and perfect Lyonnaise food. I had the menu with an entree, a plat and dessert. Salade lyonnaise of course, chicken with the most exquisite dauphinois potato gratin, and a tarte tatin. The white burgundy (for 6.5 euro) was sensational. I would/will definitely return.”

  • “We so enjoyed this Bouchon! We sat upstairs and had a lovely Lyonnaise cuisine - quenelles were delicious as well as my husbands chicken dish. Atmosphere had a lot of buzz and we also enjoyed the old French classics playing in the background. Service was spot on - just wish I could remember his name as he was very personable with and very helpful in our selections. “
