Le Bouchon des Cordeliers

Update: I went back to this restaurant two weeks after my first visit and I am completely blown away. The food, the service, the drinks...seriously, everything was on point. I had only eaten there once before but the staff remembered me. They even brought a bowl of water for my dog and offered her her own plate of rosette. For sure this restaurant is going into my rotation of places to eat on a regular basis. How are you supposed to rate the service at a restaurant ? Is it based on how quickly and correctly your order is brought to the table? Is it how you're treated by the servers? Is it how well you're taken care of by the staff? I was unsure how many stars to give this restaurant. While the food was amazing, the staff delivered our appetizers to the wrong table. And although they fixed their error for that table, they neglected the imact it had on our orders. When I told our server that we hadn't yet received our appetizers (one hour after we were seated), the mistake was acknowledged and we were offered a glass of complimentary champagne for the trouble. Making mistakes is human; nobody is perfect. I really appreciated the staff's efforts even though our meal ran a little longer than anticipated because of the error with the appetizers. But I appreciate the staff owning up to the error and addressing it in the best manner they could. Hopefully my next visit to this restaurant will go much more smoothly.

A nice restaurant serving local fare. About €20 per main with the option to have a set at €32 which includes an additional starter and dessert – essentially you're getting a dessert for free with the set, since the starters average about €12. Fantastic food that was bursting with flavour, and we ordered a variety to share. An easy first place would be the pork tenderloin, which was tasty and multi-layered in flavour. The food can take quite a while to arrive however, which may also just be a norm based on local culture.

Un accueil très agréable, le personnel est aimable et attentionné. Le service est rapide, sans attente inutile. Les plats sont tout simplement remarquables — une belle présentation et un goût délicieux. Un endroit où l’on a envie de revenir !

Très bon moment au Bouchon des Cordeliers ! De passage à Lyon avec un collègue anglais, j’étais ravi de lui faire découvrir la gastronomie lyonnaise et nous n’avons pas été déçus. La carte, réduite mais parfaitement pensée, met en avant des plats de qualité, soigneusement sélectionnés. Quatre entrées, quatre plats et quatre desserts, à la carte ou en menu : simple, efficace, et surtout délicieux. Le tout est sublimé par une belle carte des vins et un service à la fois dynamique et chaleureux. Nous nous sommes régalés et avons passé un excellent moment. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter

Excellente expérience sur place, nous y avons copieusement dîné via la formule Entrée + Plat + Fromage + Dessert. L'œuf meurette succulent annonçait une très belle couleur. Nous avons ensuite été gâté de la côte de veau qui était excellente. La faisselle était fraîche et très bonne. La cerise sur le gâteau avec la tarte à la praline traditionnel qui, bien que fine, était une parfaite façon que de clôturer ce délicieux repas. Une attente assez longue entre l'entrée et le plat mais la suite s'est très bien passée.

Overall very delicious food and very good service! I had the snails, the bone marrow and clafouti (desert). The desert wasn’t anything special but everything else was very good. It’s a lot of food for one person tho, it’s better to have someone to share with

It's best to make a reservation. I'm so glad I discovered this restaurant. The staff are so wonderful and the food is very delicious. It's a sophisticated bouchon. I'd love to return someday. Thank you so much for all the staff.
