LA COCAGNE

La Cocagne is not an imaginary country in Lyon. It is a real place that widely deserves its name as it brings us so much pleasure. Steps from the banks of the Rhône that you can see from the terrace, easily accessible from Guillotière, but in a quiet street, La Cocagne is one of our favourite addresses. At Sandrine Bernard and Sylvain Armand, there is no cheating and sincerity is a watchword in the kitchen and the dining room. In this contemporary bistro where wood brings its warm touches, everyone can be naturally at ease in a room hosted by the adorable Sylvain, as much at ease with businessmen, merry visitors, lovers or as with group of friends who come to have a feast while having fun. Simplicity, generosity, conviviality, as Lyon can offer some of its best addresses. Once seated, food lovers can enjoy all the experience of a chef who has worked at excellent Lyon address. The kitchen is open so as not to miss preparations and 100% homemade cooking. Cuisine made with fresh and quality produce on a menu that changes quaterly. This summer, cod ceviche (marinated with lime, fresh coriander, onions, pepper) or a gourmet salad with foie gras and smoked duck breast. Even though the tartare of the chef and his chips remains a perfect model of its kind, you must taste a Vitello tonato and polenta chips, Veal kidneys in Madeira sauce and the pan-fried cardoons with marrow or a surprising Crispy fish with pineapple and its papaya and carrot salad. Half Saint-Marcellin cheese and homemade desserts. Enjoy some tasty and inexpensive set menus on the slate menu at lunchtime, always with fresh ingredients. In Lyon, at La Cocagne where everything has a festive look, everything seems to be easily reachable and abundant, this restaurant open for 3 years has been already listed in the the most Futé addresses list.
