A very cute bouchon located at the very beginning of rue Mercière, a street for gourmands.  A small restaurant which exudes cheerfulness with its chequered tablecloths, brightly coloured wooden chairs and a patron who welcomes you as if you were old friends. As for the cuisine, it offers the best of lyonnais specialities - quenelles, boudin, salami, andouillette - and of seafood with Saint Jacques scallops and flambéed gambas. For those with large appetites, an entrecôte of 400gms costs 22 euros. And to quench one's thirst, the patron offers Côtes du Rhône and Crus Beaujolais selected by him from among the local wine producers. A feast of old to savour on the terrace, from the first rays of morning sun onwards.
