Restaurant proposing dishes at the rhythm of the seasons between French and Japanese traditions in Lyon.
What Katsumi Ishida likes to do is to cook and to receive people as friends. You shouldn't go to this restaurant for a first date, unless you want to test your partner... The chef has not bet everything on the decor of his restaurant, but on the good products, trusting his creativity and a remarkable know-how. Dishes with the rhythm of the seasons between French tradition and Japanese sensibility. Deliciously unclassifiable.

Stabilité de la prestation.
25 euros au déjeuner pour entrée plat et dessert.
Le chef utilise des produits de haute qualité.
Lieu atypique différent des standards lyonnais mais quel magnifique expérience gustative.
Longue vie à cette excellente table.
We were in Lyon France for 2 days prior to boarding a river cruise and walked by this restaurant and noticed all the Michelin notifications on their door. We had arrived on Sunday and apparently most restaurants close quite early. This restaurant was no exception and was closed when we walked by.
So when we returned to our hotel we looked it up and saw all the great reviews. We definitely wanted to try this place.
So the next day I tried calling. No one answered the phone. I called at least 5 times throughout the day with no success. I even went on the website to try to book online and I could not find anywhere that I could do that. We also walked by to try to make a reservation in person but we arrived just passed 2 PM and they were closed after lunch. We peeked in the window and my husband could clearly see the owner/chef sitting at a table. So I tried to call again. He did not answer the phone. In fact he didn’t even move.
I tried calling another 3 times throughout the afternoon with no one answering. Finally we thought that perhaps they did not take reservations so we decided to go a bit earlier than their opening time of 8 PM. We arrived at 7:52 PM. All the lights were on. We could see the chef prepping through the kitchen area window. We also saw 2 women in there as well (staff possibly family as one woman was older and the other younger). I tried the door but it was still locked. The women inside looked up but then looked away. So we stood in the drizzling rain and waited.
Finally at 8pm I heard the schnick of a door unlocking. I waited. Nothing. So I again tried the door. This time it opened. Neither woman looked at me. The older woman finally asked me if I had reservations to which I said no she immediately cut me off and told me if I didn’t have reservations they had no room. I explained that I tried to call numerous times throughout the day and no one answered the phone. She told me I should’ve made a reservation online but it didn’t matter because they were booked. Throughout the entire conversation she was moving about the room and refused to make eye contact. She pretty much shoo'd me out of the restaurant.
I was in total shock and embarrassed. I have never been treated like that anywhere in the world. I don’t know whether my ethnicity played a part in her attitude but I will say I don’t care how many Michelin stars you have if your service and courtesy is extremely poor and lacking.
I would not recommend this restaurant. There are too many other restaurants in the Restaurant Capital of the world to put up with this type of poor attitude.
Par contre, sur l'assiette, de la générosité, du talent et de la maîtrise. Impossible d'être déçu, vous ne serez qu'étonnamment surpris au pire.
Le rapport qualité / prix est excellent. Nous reviendrons, c'est certain !!
