DANIEL ET DENISE SAINT-JEAN

Daniel et Denise, second address signed Joseph Viola, one of the Best Workers in France, have settled in Vieux Lyon for some years now. The decor provides clarity and a beautiful "classical modernity" to the elegant dining rooms that recall the atmosphere of the more classical bouchons by the touches. The tables are covered with the checkered red and white tablecloths and the atmosphere is friendly, according to the tradition. As for the cuisine, it is simply among the best in the city, even if the rates are a little high for a restaurant that does not rank among the most affordable. Joseph Viola perpetuates the tradition of the Lyon specialties, while giving to the "popular" dishes the beautiful "bourgeois" appearances. For starters, the unmissable pâté en croute with foie gras and sweetbread, a soft-boiled egg with its asparagus cream or a priest's omelette with crayfish tails made with fresh eggs from Lentilly. To be followed with a tripe stir-fried in Lyon way, the traditional cake of chicken liver, the andouillette with three firings and, specially recommended by the Futé, the whole pot-roasted calf's kidney in grandma's way. Cottage cheese and its berthe with a Bresse cream and a floating Island with praline of Saint-Genix to resist the temptation. Fine selection of wines. Long live Lyon, long live the bouchons!
Members' reviews on DANIEL ET DENISE SAINT-JEAN
Décoration typique bouchon ok mais avec une nappe en papier non merci, je pense que l’on peut exiger mieux pour cette maison.
Plat trop salé, cuisson non respectée accompagnement trop lourd : macaronis béchamel (beaucoup trop cuits) + pommes de terre !! Un peu de légumes aurait été préférable. Le vin blanc très correct mais son prix élevé : 10€ le verre.
Dessert très décevant avec la tarte tatin, tant au niveau de la quantité que de la qualité. Il manquait une bonne crème et non pas un semblant de ??? Et une boule de glace.
Cela reste très cher pour le coup.
Je me faisais une joie de découvrir cette maison dommage …
The service staff were polite and friend friendly. They recommended some today’s special and wine pairing options. We particularly loved the bone marrow with snails, and the cod fish. The side dishes were generous in portion.
