The best restaurants Lyon 4th 69004

" Lyon is small for those who love, like us, such a great love. " Not to pay homage to Marcel Carmé's masterpiece when you climb on the plateau of the Croix-Rousse to go to the Children of Paradise. In light retreat from the boulevard, at the corner of two streets, we discover a nice summer terrace and a dominant beige and brown tones room for an atmosphere that succeeds the modern bet to be both refined and user friendly. The hotel's lovely guest house, which makes every effort to make our meal a special moment, even at noon. In slate, seasonal lunches and a map that mixes the pleasures of both here and elsewhere: Successful cod acras or a medallion of pan-fried foie gras on caramel apple. Beautiful fish, including a cod back to both citrus fruits or mullet fillets with ginger, as well as roasted lamb chops to the goat and coriander a carry of Indian chicken for flavours. A fine selection of wines with a glass, the music is bercer and you become a festival in the light of the projected short films. New of the year, all dishes are now available.

What could you get to the Cross-Rousse to come and eat lunch at the Boulevard du Boulevard? Of course, if you are told that homemade lasagna are among the best we have eaten and that Chile is of the same ilk, it is a first incentive to get out of your home. But the real reason that will make you go to the plateau, to this neighborhood bistro that has been in place for a long time in the middle of the cross of the Croix-Rousse, is that it has been renovated with a lot of taste by a true roussien that makes it a spirit of conviviality as you love them. On the benches of the large hall, on the colourful chairs of the large terrace, sheltered in the adjoining rooms, you also enjoy a warm welcome. Whether you're a market day for refreshment, ice or drink, or you're setting up for a full and generous meal, the smile is always the same and it's not uncommon to share its good mood with neighbors. A true bistro to the free food that cultivates something rare: happiness.

When we go to the family, it is not always a pleasure. There, it is the opposite and you go to this family a smile to the lips - after having reserved, it is more prudent than to take a place by a distant cousin - and the desire to stomach to taste a good dish of season. If time permits, we take advantage of the terrace overlooking a small street, or you can take refuge in a trendy bistro room with family portraits hanging across the walls. Kitchen side: respect for products, simple but refined flavours, fine dishes, fine cuts for which we take the time. Please note that the family always offers a vegetarian dish. This summer, when the heat didn't open up the appetite especially, a round zucchini stuffed with small vegetables, eggs and roasted potatoes made it (the appetite of course). It's always fresh with herbal hake or a thigh of crystallized can to tomato oil, to finish with apricot clafoutis and dough cream. A Smart family is happy to take the time of a meal.

Le and Les, it is a condensed of the spirit of the Croix-rousse. An anti-authoritarian spirit that defies time. In fact, the walls adorned with vintage wallpaper, as we say today to say another age, have a collection of clocks. First of all, there is the pleasure of finding yourself, accoudé around a glass of good wine - excellent selection, but attention this restaurant is not a bar - before even starting the meal. Good ambiance guaranteed and you start to discover a map that changes every week. This evening: net to make Lake Léman smoked to the seeds of coriander, salicorne, anchoïade to in, avocado cream, radish of colours, grapefruit or ris of calf, juice to morels dried and long pepper, cassé of broken peas, green asparagus, small peas, meringue coffee noisette. To follow, Can can be: roasted fillet, juice to black cherry jam, lacquered and caramélisée thigh, effilochée wing in cromesquis green olives with bear garlic, red chioggias beets, turnip fane or a fleeced of Iberian swine Bellota, juice to Iberian sausage, terres new Delicacy, season vegetables. Léonce-Savarin to black truffles and foam desserts of verbena verbena, Mona biscuits, and compotée of raspberry, light mousse to raspberry, meringue to finish. Go, take a look at his laptop, open his eyes and his spirit and get eaten… We are well in the Croix-Rousse!

A "folk and regional" atmosphere at the Pailleron, even though it is not clear to which region, the south-west certainly, the beautiful red berets must be awarded. Seeing the world on Saturday evening (yes, we always come on Saturday evening…), the service is quickly overstretched, not very kind and will have difficulty taking our order in a chahut worthy of a student soirée. From the mezzanine to the corners of the room, you no longer agree. Side kitchen, nothing changes and it's so much better will say some, lovers of generosity, and it's so bad to say others, who don't like a fat kitchen where quantity masks a lack of quality. The Pailleron is not finesse with a nachos of lyon guts, a pie-roasted pie at the Perigordian, a cassoulet of Périgord to the old or fresh pâtes and smoked breasts. Provide a good digestive walk before going to bed!

A quite fashionable address which largely deserves that we climb up to the plateau of Croix-Rousse to discover this establishment held by Fernanda Ribeiro, young and talented chef. Small terrace in a quiet street and room which keeps the promise of the "cosy" brand with its large photos hung on red walls. Well put tables, comfortable black seats, some good bottles on the heights, everything is implemented to receive us well at this best chefs' pupil: Bocuse, Ducasse and Le Bec. As her name suggests it, Fernanda is Brazilian, but if her cuisine has indeed an exotic accent, she offers a quite French semi-gourmet menu. Everything is homemade and the ingredients are of quality for perfectly presented seasonal dishes: Fish of the day Ceviche with homemade coconut milk, fresh corn, red onions, roasted sweet potato and its lime emulsion or an almond ice cream, watermelon and mint vinaigrette. Then, a picanha - typically Brazilian dish - of black beef, foie gras terrine, candied rustic garlic, seasonal vegetables and its sauce with a mix of peppers from Brazil or a Fish of the day with a maracuja sauce - passion fruit from Brazil - wild whole rice from Camargue and peanuts. Beautiful surprises at the time of dessert with a frozen chocolate-coffee from Brazil mousse and its hot gianduja ganache, without forgetting the delicious homemade ice creams. An address to discover with Futé.

More in the spirit of Croix-Rousse, you do not see (or you need glasses that you already wear). How to do serious things without taking yourself too seriously? How to do the right thing to share so that everyone is happy? You should follow the example of the Gogniols who have opened their café, bar, restaurant …with talent In short, their living place where guests want to be during the day in weekdays and longer on Thursdays and Fridays (and some Sundays with themed meals). Decor and bistro atmosphere just the way you like them, with a pretty wall collage, without fuss, but with sincerity, to find a menu inspired by seasonal products, a family and traditional cuisine very successfull and not very expensive. Some dishes of the blackboard are of summer, with homemade ham on the bone, a squid terrine that you don't see anywhere else. Coming up next, a French lamb stew with sweet spices and dry fruit, minced beef with red and citronella curry served with rice or a beautiful grilled flank and its fries. Financier with lemon and tarte aux pralines to finish. Nice wine list. In the evening, dishes to share always in such a relaxed atmosphere. Gogniols that feed and enlivens "the spirit" of X-Rousse.
