French people are complainers, pretentious, unfaithful, inconstant… As many clichés, sometimes motivated, which would say that Café Français does not always ensure a smiling service, does not always offer an excellent value for money and a cuisine that does not always meet our required criterion. And yet, Café Français certainly deserves more praises than critics. First, there is the campsite. Located on the quiet Place Poncet, within walking distance from Bellecour and every Lyon sites, Café Français is part of the must-gp for tourists and Lyon residents. The large terrace is a bargain, especially as it is completed by a veranda heated in winter and air conditioned in summer. The indoor rooms are beautiful and the cellar is a real paradise for wine lovers, especially from the region with beautiful bottles and grand crus, or spirits. Menu of tapas to nibble with a glass of good wine. As for the cuisine, the salads are always the stars on the summer menu, including a Salade du Sud-Ouest with homemade foie gras and marinated duck breasts. Of course, the house offers its Café Français burger and its Louchebem burger. Traditional pike quenelles, velvet crab cream, the casseroles of mussels or marinated salmon tartare. Cheeses from Mère Richard, caramel cream, coffee tiramisu, pancakes and waffles to finish in delicacies. In the end, a good address in the heart of Lyon.

Franchement, licenciez-le pour des raisons économiques. La seule chose de français dans ce café, ce n’est pas seulement l’aigreur des serveurs tant recherchée dans ce genre d’établissement, mais la révolution qu’il y a dans les toilettes. Rénovez-les ou faites le nettoyage, même dans votre équipe. Ça vaut mieux pour vous.
Ce bar est un repaire de petits gens bourgeois élevés à l’éducation positive, d’une impolitesse rare. C’est insupportable, même les bambins du Club Mickey ont plus de bienséance… La table juste à côté s’est vue valser toute leur commande en l’air par les mouvements brusques de ces derniers, évidemment hilares de la situation. Des jacassements dignes d’un cirque. Je termine mon verre en prenant rendez-vous chez l’ORL.
Au secours…
