Named after the Cook Pierre de la Varenne (the creator of sauces and various sauces, this th century cook is the author of a famous book as one of the first cookbook), this Bistro is more than just a bistro. On a peaceful square in the Quartier des Antiquaires opening up to the Rhone, the Bistrot La Varenne is an invitation to enjoy a wide range of leisure times. On the terrace or in warm (but air-conditioned) rooms, this restaurant/wine bar is not lacking in elegance or conviviality around Jean-Baptiste Dumond. Every Thursday and Friday, the Bistro organizes the "Work, Metro, Bistrot" (after work 18 h/21 h) to share around a good glass of wine (more than 40 references with small producers selected with care), and a board (charcuterie or local cheeses) to enjoy among friends. In cooking, Chef Yoann Richard prepares home-made dishes from products of artisans and small producers (some products to be found in the grocery corner). With its own (rare) sauce, it gives taste and taste to a map that follows the seasons. This summer, a true beef tartar with a knife like La Varenne or a creamy burratina at the "Fabioyann". To follow, a French beef fillet at low temperature, light béarnaise or a yellow place, roasted vegetables and bergamot marmelade, piquillos sherbet. Refined cheeses and pyramid with two intense chocolates, creamy caramel caramel to finish. Opened since 2015, a real discovery of the Smart this year and an authentic coup de coeur for a whole in the spirit of Lyon, that is, good humour and excellence.
Accueil sympathique, ambiance chaleureuse, service rapide un midi en semaine. Nous étions 4 avec 4 plats différents. Nous avons très bien mangé. Un léger bémol sur les desserts plus par manque de choix. En résumé il faut l'essayer ????.
