The best restaurants Route de la soie

The bagel, this ring-shaped roll made of a unleavened dough plunged into boiling water before going to the oven, is a bit of the American Jewish pizza that now offers many variants. This address of the heart of the peninsula presents us with a small range of bagels in orange new York decor of best taste. From Time Square to Central Park, Chinatown, you can indulge in its cute sins with cream-cheese, magic chicken and other crispy onion. Salads are honest accompanied by a fresh drink and at the time of desserts, the chocolate sugar au. We're a long way from the capital of gastronomy, but from time to time, it's also good to meet other cultures.

This is a restaurant that doesn't take for what it's not. Not really, a trendy address or for gourmet purposes, but it knows by its atmosphere a little prolo and a villain attracting many clients who do not like the room atmosphere that reigns in many establishments. The leather jackets of the regulars who are accoudés at the counter are attached to the portemanteau. Between the dish of the day, a duck of duck, a few dishes or salads, the choice is not very large but quite sufficient. The discussions are lively, provocative. Laughter and jokes abound. The South Counter is also a lair where one listens to the show "There if I am" the committed radio show of Daniel Mermet on France Inter. This corresponds to the spirit of this simple and interesting establishment.

Clearly distinct from its Asian counterparts, the Vietnamese cuisine is unanimously appreciated for its freshness (using many exotic fruits to bring out the taste), its lightness (free from fat), its variety and its finesse, are found in this restaurant in cours Vitton, where guests crowd around... 1968. Taken over in hand by the daughter of the founder, Le Vietnam has set a goal to quietly revolutionize the property, to instill in the decor a lounge and contemporary spirit, the decor has also renovated in a spirit more contemporary, brighter, with brightened tones. But we should not ignore as far as its reputation is concerned: nice list of exotic cocktails, including the ginger, my xao (crunchy pasta as a nest of birds) and prawns in the tonkinoise way, fried beef with tamarin, octopus hot sauce and pearls of tapioca in a coconut milk, we will be served with smiling amenity characterizing the beautiful Asia.

An address "perched" on the heights of Croix-Rousse, offering the passing gourmets an exceptional view of the city, but above all a traditional "family house"-style house within a totally unique setting. Because before you even enjoy the Maison Villemanzy cuisine, you first enjoy its décor with beautiful old woodwork, its warm flooring, its veranda and its terrace so far from the bustle of our world… The whole is highlighted by a service run by the excellent Christine and Guillaume Mouchel, the owners of the places. In this dream decor, the cuisine is that of a bistro displaying a short and seasonal menu (6 starters, 6 dishes and 6 desserts) to honour the local products and current recipes: Lyon- style chicken livers cake, warm Dauphiné ravioli salad and Greek-style lemoned mushrooms or a skate terrine with citrus to start. In the same spirit, a Cassolette of hot sausage and steam vegetables with herbs vinaigrette or a Roast cod fillet and risotto, lemon marinade with basil and organic olive oil. Meals and wine pairings are a success. A house of tradition which always surprises us.

A strange place for a meeting. In this street with dull façades, where nothing, or almost, suggests a place full of charm, you stop short in front of Steff's. Stéphane Fernandez is in the street and he still debates with a guest on the pavement. It must be said that he knows how to entertain a charming dining room in which he managed to bring all Lyonnnais gratin. Once you pass the door, the round tables and deep armchairs, the floor made of polished concrete, the lights give a superb tone to an establishment where the staff implements a relaxed approach while doing things seriously. Every day, the menu is properly written on a piece of paper according to the inspiration of the moment. It must be said that Steff likes to do research and surprise his guests who has never enough of a gourmet table where you can enjoy a tuna cooked in a beautiful way. In any case, when you enter here, you should trust the chef (and you can do it!). Between the innovative restaurant, the exclusive bar, the trendy meeting place... Steff always combines several positions with the same elegance.

Marcello is very frequented by the youth of the neighborhood, who wants to eat properly without getting ruined. A very good index for the tourist!

Next to the portico of Ottavia, the heart of the Jewish Ghetto, the Ghetto Casher tavern is one of these restaurants in the typical neighborhood offering the curious specialties of the Judeo-Roman cuisine prepared carefully and according to kosher rules. It would still differ from others by real authenticity. Delicious dishes such as mixed frills (do not miss artichokes), primi prepared properly, fish or meat at the brink… for a relatively low price. Excellent desserts and a well-stocked wine card to complete this pleasant setting and 100% authentic! Try it!

The service is impeccable, the tables are nicely decorated and the kitchen, typically Roman or more generally Italian, is tasty. Try fish specialities!

Located near Repubblica metro (via Orlando and via Torino), a bakery with a wide choice of Sicilian cakes.

To drink a good coffee, accompanied by a croissant (Cornetto in Italian), this is the right address. The bar and self-service are on the ground floor; The cafeteria, which is served at the table, is on the first floor. Practice when waiting for train or before going to metro early in the morning.

The decor, with its beautiful tablecloths, ceramic plates of all colours and candles, is very welcoming. A new, simple but tasteful cuisine. Manquer and shrimp, rose risotto, grilled rafts or oven baked turbot with potatoes are not missed. Desserts come from Cavallini pastry. The wine cellar has a limited choice but is composed of high quality wines.

This simple and pleasant trattoria offers excellent pasta and pizza at reasonable prices.

This room, which is named after a traditional Dish of typical Roman cuisine, is a historic and popular address, known for its excellent typical dishes, its welcoming atmosphere, its fast service and its small prices. The best dish to advise is of course the speciality of the house, the pasta cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper). This very old dish is the dish of the shepherd based on sheep's cheese (the pecorino romano) and pepper, which despite an apparent simplicity is very difficult to realise.

At the Thai House you will discover authentic dishes prepared by a 100% Thai team. À la carte, varied flavors, curry, lemonella, Thai basilic, jasmine scented rice or gluant rice, pineapple or mango, sweet peppers or chili peppers, etc… An address to discover with family, alone or friends!

A sun ray on Félix-Faure Avenue with Delights of the Islands, Patrick's Restaurant that shines Réunion and Pacific cuisine at its zenith. In a decor of fisherman's cabin, change and guaranteed smiles, we come to rediscover the good mood of the islands and a cuisine full of flavours around a gourmet table. The Midi formula is a boon for all the people in the neighborhood, while in the evening, you'll be taking time, imagining the beach and palm trees, to sip a tasty IT'punch while consulting the menus. Side plates, always prepared with quality products: smoked salmon and cod acras, vegetable achards, tuna, cheese or beef samoussa, real and delicious caps, the famous sausage sanitary, a lamb massalé, a lemon fillet, a chicken carri chicken carri, and a zourite zourite chicken. Convenient, all dishes are available to take on time, simply order by phone. A Smart idea.

Excellent value for money and excellent value for money.

On the first floor of Palazzo Grassi, the showcase of the Pinault collection, this small café dressed all in white offers a pleasant stopover, with a beautiful view of the Campo and the Grand Canal. For lunch, light and tasty dishes to prolong the discovery of the exhibition. We like to bite into gnocchi with anchovy butter or braised beef cooked at a low temperature; pastries and drinks that are just as appetizing, such as the curious puffed rice pudding tartlet. We're a long way from lunch here!

This is the terrace where you have to come and drink its Aperol Sipped with an orange slice in it. Finally, if there is still room on the terrace, for in a short time the restaurant of Cyrille Monnet - cross to the Three Maries, the case friendly - has been successful. It is therefore prudent to book at lunchtime to have the right to enjoy an excellent dish of the day at 12 € and the colours of Italy, the north preferably, realized with fresh fresh produce and revisited according to the chef's Lyon inspiration. A daily gastronomic delight and other suggestions for pleasure with a genovese basilico gran, pig feet, beans and ceps, or a ris risotto risotto, Scottish Coquilles and wild asparagus. It is impossible to predict what you will find on the slate on the day of your visit, because you will not miss coming, but it is certain that happiness will be on your plate! A friendly atmosphere, it laugh in a frame where every detail (and music) has its importance, a little in the way of a stopper that would have crossed the Alps. A great success and a real discovery recommended by the Smart.

In your opinion, who can an Italian say "I love you"? His girlfriend, mother or acciughe (grandmother)? All three, bravo! With a preference for grandmother Maria who has passed on the best taste of her country to Luigi, the chef who makes us share his delicious recipes. And if Jérémy's grandmother was not Italian, it must be recognized that the other membre's pizza is delicious. An atypical setting - look at the ceiling - a small room that delivers souvenirs from Italy to enjoy a map that divides between traditional cuisine and pizza. On both sides, even concern for quality and origin of products. Small prices and fine achievements in plates with dishes of the day to the names that make them dream, like these ricotta chicken polpettone and wrapped poulet in a speck of speck… Not forgetting the gnocchis according to the seasons, such as this surprising and delicious summer pears, the famous Bobo pizza or Torta della mama to finish. In this area where eating can be complicated, an address should not be missed.

Very modestly, and because the huge Georges Blanc has common sense, it seems that the head of Vonnas has gone in our direction by slowing down the increase in these rates and by "refocusing" on other dishes than around meat. Even if the card still offers a Burger Gourmand in the county (bread and French quality meat) at the same time 21 €. The decor remains the same and is rather successful, avoiding making this restaurant a cliché of its kind with its relevant inscriptions. The kitchen is equal to what one is entitled to expect from a house worn by this multi-star chef. The card still features pieces that you won't find anywhere else, meat selected with special care such as this Black Angus Beef Tomahawk (94 € for 2 people) or a Japanese beef mudflap Wagyu at 38 € 180 g. All meats are exceptional and the sauces are homemade. But we also like to turn to a block in the crust of fatty liver marble, "King Prawns XL" gambas, a "new" lobster of Tristan da Cunha baked to Plancha or beautiful sole meunière, not forgetting another Fleeced Zum De, as well as a supreme volaille façon. A nice response from a centre that should not be overwhelmed. Smart follows the case carefully.

At the corner of rue Saint-Jean and place Neuve, which opens one of the rare "perspectives" on Old Lyon, the Panier du Chef occupies a privileged place. Its terrace is one of the most pleasant in the district, as long as you enjoy the passage of the many tourists in search of Lyon's food and specialities. Speaking of "Lyonnais specialities", you will find them all on the restaurant's menu, but what you will find less are the flavours of our local dishes. A prime location doesn't make for excellent cuisine - and you can't be sure that the chef fills his basket with fresh produce every morning - but the food is good enough to take a break in this wonderful area of Lyon.

Hamlet+Jacks is a must for lovers of creative, subtle and masterful cuisine. Nestled in a discreet street in the Golden Triangle, in a sober industrial setting, and with a terrace that is particularly pleasant on sunny days, Hamlet+Jacks happily combines contemporary Russian gastronomy, a young and friendly atmosphere and very affordable prices. The wine list (including many Russian producers) is also particularly well thought out and adapted to the small seasonal menu. A must !

A tchaikhana that we can only recommend to you too much: right in the centre of the old town, it is a quiet, pleasant establishment that remains authentic. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood come here to eat soup and shashliks that can also be drizzled with a cold beer. The whole, under an arbour, in a small courtyard. No menu and no possibility to make yourself understood in any language other than Russian or Uzbek, but you only have to point out what makes you happy in the exposed skewers and large steaming pots of soup.

An address we'd like to find more often... Small and friendly, this bistro attracts its clientele as much with its menu as with its warm setting in the heart of the authentic Maddalena district. The two young owners are wine connoisseurs who place great emphasis on blending food and labels. The emphasis is on the freshness of products that are rigorously seasonal, and that smell of the land. As soon as it's time foraperitivo, you can sit down on the charming piazzetta and enjoy a delicious dinner.

Fish restaurant located in the heart of Genoa, a stone's throw from the Piazza de Ferrari and the Palazzo Ducale. The place is decorated with elegance and care, and particular attention is paid to comfort, an essential element to accompany good food. A renowned address in the city that the chef and his team have maintained by offering refined, personalized dishes. The raw ingredients are treated with experience and delicacy to convey their aromas to the full. A fine wine list completes the picture. Warm atmosphere and professionalism.

Under the arcades facing the palaces in the Porto Antico district, Chen Chao is the owner of this small enoteca, frequented by passing tourists and old pinball-playing regulars. Here, people come, go and leave... A cosmopolitan clientele. If the terrace isn't always clean, the idea is to eat your panini on the go, garnished with quality ingredients (cured ham, pancetta, pecorino, cheeses and more). A good idea if you come on Sundays, as this is one of the few places in the arcades to be open.
