Absolutely delicious and good lunch special! Get the Caesar salad and sea bass. This was one of my favorite meals in France (over the course of two weeks).

Una experiencia fantástica en el Café du Soleil. Pedimos una quenelle cada una y tanto la de pescado como la de pollo estaban espectaculares, con un sabor intenso y una textura perfecta. El ambiente es muy agradable, con ese encanto clásico que te transporta, y el servicio fue impecable: atento, rápido y muy profesional. No me sorprende en absoluto que lleven más de 200 años funcionando; es un verdadero tesoro de la gastronomía lionesa. Totalmente recomendable
