This blog is about some of my passions in life (going out to eat, cooking and watching films) This blog is a way to document these pleasures so that I can remember these great experiences and repeat them with others. The FULL TREATMENT refers to my style of reviewing films. Anything that is mind-blowingly good and must be shared with others receives the FULL TREATMENT.

RESTO LYON la Fleurie
great little restaurant between Jean Macé and Gerland in an office building section of town. Danny and myself went on a friday for lunch. It is loud and the clientel a little bit not my style but things quieted down by 13:30. We arrived at 13;15 and stayed seated until after 15h. I suggest that you make reservations for 13:15 and arrive 15 minutes fashionably late. the 3 cours lunchtime menu was 15 euros. I ordered the parfait de fois de volaille with a mesclun salade and danny did as well. I had a beautiful slice of salmon resting on a cauliflour flan.It was one of the better dishes I have had recently. The mousse au chocolat was a bit to sweet for my likings but the salty caramel ice-cream that went with was the perfect combination for the coffee that went with (which happened to be one of the better ones that I have had in Lyon) The bill for 1 menu, a 50cls of Macon blanc and a coffee was 26 euros. I must admit that the only reason to go out there is for the food. It was similar food wise to Le Potager des Halles but the ambience was not as nice; we did however have perfect service. The waiter left us alone the whole time and was running all over the place but the second you raised your finger he would have exactly what you needed in under a minute. First time I've ever dropped a serious tip in France. The only reason to go out there for lunch is to check out the gerland park. Go with bikes because it is a bit hard to get to on public transit. a 10-15 min walk through concrete walldom.
