A little discovery with nice well baked sesame buns grilled until crunchy. Nice chicken with different sauces and salades all fresh and a wonderful alternative to a hamburger or kebab. The chips could be crunchier. Friendly service. I could wish for some more types of drinks. All together a very nice addition to the Lyon food scene.

Lee and Team have created a little Smoke BBQ oasis in Lyon. From the excellent service, delicious grilled meats. I enjoyed a very good BBQ experience with little things that could be improved. 

Lets start: The pulled pork was excellent evendo a little underseasoned for my taste. The meat was juicy and soft like silk but with enough structure to have the most wonderful pulled pork extravaganza in your mouth. Add some of the delicious BBQ sauce to this and you are in heaven. 

Lees Coleslaw was delicious with the right amount of acidity and sweetness from the condensed milk. Straight forward yummy. The porkbelly was too good to be honest. delicious smokey notes and excellent bite structure it really melted in your mouth with a subltle elegant crunch in some parts. The ultimate porkbelly experience? You decide... 

One weakness was the potatoe salad which was chopped Jurassic Park style with pieces so big a T-Rex would have issues biting into it. The seasoning was off and offered very little flavor. Lee I am sure you can do better here. 

Last but not least the delicious smoked ribs with the incredible well balanced BBQ sauce. So smokey delicious and excellent bite strcuture with just the right amount of BBQ sauce paired with the excellent selection of beers!! WOW what a splendid way to enjoy BBQ. And yes the portion sizes are fabulous too and served with a smile by Matt. 

I am looking forward to my next visit. Bravo!

One of those places you discover and keep coming back. For good reasons this is a popular restaurant. The team cooks down to earth delicious food with raffinesse and a heart and soul. The wine list is really good and Aurélie offered fnatastic service to the group of friends I was with. The foie gras magnums were delicious. The selection of Domaine Tempier wines second to none. Excellent service with a heart and excellent wine know-how. This is a feel good temple in a wonderful part of Lyon (Croix Rousse). Go here and you will not be dissapointed.

Enjoy visiting this bar/restaurant and club on a wonderful summer evening. Yes it is a little expensitve and pretencious :). The food is ok and not at a star level but sifficient for a pre-drink bite to eat. . Why bother going? Because it is fun. Playing games in the garden whilst sipping champagne and spending time with friends. This place is great for drinks and dancing in a really nice garden. More fun than the restaurant. For a quick bite quite ok but stay for the party in the club and garden. Excellent selection of champagne and wines for a club and bar. Typ the champagne bar. Lots of nice bottles with the matching cooler and glasses. This is a nice touch.
