We never waste our time when discovering the Passage. A "different" restaurant in the landscape of Lyonnais cuisine. First, its location is not ordinary: at the bottom of a courtyard where you go through a passage, a traboule situated between two shops which act as a shaded terrace in summer… two steps from the town hall, the new and the old, Passage is part of the "gastronomic Lyon heritage" and has been among the gastronomic institutions of the city for over 30 years. The interior exudes a soft atmosphere, mainly red, due to the lack of natural light highlighted by the famous leather armchairs of the Majestic, while the "Bistro" room takes us to the seats of the Eldorado theatre. Two characterful rooms for a restaurant which displays a revisited menu elaborated by chef Frédéric Cordier. Seasonal products, combinations of flavours and dishes presented as works of art: Lobster salad, avocado and crispy vegetables, citrus vinaigrette, a homemade smoked salmon or a foie gras terrine with figs. Meat dishes such as roasted rack of lamb and potatoes gratin with bacon and well highlighted seafood dishes such as monkfish and gambas, sweet potato purée, coconut milk and a combawa. Surprisingly, you can finish the evening late at the bar seated on deep leather armchairs or in a small private room to smoke a cigar under a French ceiling. Several places in one, welcoming both lovers and groups. A timeless Passage which remains a safe bet.

Niveau cocktails : belle carte originale en plus des classiques.
Mention spéciale a notre barman Étienne qui nous a conseillé et servi.
Nous reviendrons
D'autres personnes voulaient y aller mais étaient dans le même cas que nous. Juste l'incompréhension. Si vous fermez votre établissement quand bon vous semble vous pourriez au moins le préciser...
Cet endroit est juste magique, du côté restaurant comme du côté bar à cocktails.
Les prix sont certes élevés mais ça vaut vraiment le détour ! Une expérience à vivre !
PS : meilleur tartare de thon / burrata jamais mangés
