LE BOEUF D'ARGENT

First time in Lyon and we stumbled upon this gem. The food is exquisite, with every dish thoughtfully explained, a flavor bomb in each. Arguably the best meal we’ve had since arriving in France. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Lovely meal with my sister, great wine ,wonderful service, relaxed atmosphere in the old town. What's not to like.Thanks for a lovely evening.

Where do I even begin? This was hands down, without question, the best dining experience I have ever had and likely ever will.

I had some last minute unplanned travel changes that landed me in Lyon for a few days. Being the gastronomic capital of France, I wanted to dine at as many Michelin Star restaurants as I could. As fortune would have it, I only had a day or two in advance, so I was only able to reserve a table at one. That meant I had time to visit a little restaurant my friend told me I absolutely HAD to try. I'm so glad I took his advice. Words can't do justice to how truly incredible it was, but I'll do my best to describe my experience...

Atmosphere: 5

The restaurant was very nice but not pretentious. The kind of place you could go to dressed up for a very special occasion or dressed casually for a delicious lunch. I was dressed very casually and felt as welcome as the man dressed to the nines a few tables from me.

Service: 5

I don't typically write reviews about service because, frankly, I care much more about the food. However, the service here was so above and beyond excellent, I had to include it. My waiter was not only incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but was genuinely kind. I could really tell how much he cared about me and my experience and how passionate he was about the food he was serving. I had similar positive interactions with the rest of the staff as well. In fact, the chef personally reached out to me on Instagram to thank me for mentioning them in my stories. How cool is that?!

Food: 5

I honestly don't know how to even put the food into words. It was indescribably delicious. Every aspect of the meal, from start to finish, was absolutely perfect. No exaggeration, my brain released so much dopamine in response to the meal, I legitimately felt high for at least an hour afterwards. I didn't even know food could do that. It was really that good.

In conclusion:

I cannot recommend this restaurant more highly. It's been over a year since I've been and I still think about it almost daily. I feel no need to return to Lyon except to eat here again. You can bet I'll go well out of my way to return. If you have an opportunity, GO!

To the staff, thank you SO much for everything. Dining with you was by far the best part of my trip to France. I can't wait to see you again someday soon!

Très belle accueil et service de qualité, repas suculent et servi rapidement. Petite attention portée pour un anniversaire. Merci à toute l'équipe

The food was amazing and well executed, easily one of the best meals we had in Lyon. All the dishes were good from start to end. The leek with caviar and pasta with cheese and truffle were especially good.

The cocktails were delicious and recommended wine pairings went very well with the food.

The service was warm and attentive throughout.

Portions were on the small side for the price but we were comfortably full at the end of the meal. Big eaters may want to go with the largest menu.

It is a family friendly restaurant so diners looking for a romantic atmosphere may want to keep this in mind.

All in, it is highly recommended
