RESTO LYON (GRENOUILLES)

Le Jardin Des Dombes (Croix Rousse)
4, rue de Nuits - 69004 Lyon - Tél. 04 72 07 67 66 

This place is for frog leg enthusiasts (I am not a huge fan but that is just personal) the other person with me said the legs were great. I had the Civet de Canard which was pretty darn good. They don't waste their time with side dishes as everyone gets the same thing (gratin dauphinois, a roasted tomato and soufflee of brocolli). The owner was super nice. The decor had some very bright points (yellow mosaics with a sort of wind in the willows frog center piece) and some less bright points (tables and chairs that look like they were taken from a hotel breakfast room) In all the decor was kind of country bumpkin and worked. For once I was kind of disappointed by the fondant au chocolat but the tarte tatin was great (both were homemade) apparently the other specialty is foie gras maison which I didn't have.
