Danton - Lyon

What about that night at Danton? Excellent service, warm welcome, kitchen worthy of a starry with tasteful and neat dishes, all accompanied by good wine for a more than reasonable addition. I strongly advise, if you're looking for a restaurant at the height of the reputation of French gastronomy, it would be a shame to miss this excellent address. Get your eyes closed!!

We had a wonderful diner with friends (Americans and Russians). Being four, we tried all starters and main courses on their very attractive menu (French cuisine): everything was just delicious and plates perfectly decorated. A very good selection of great (and affordable) wines. The service was excellent (the waiter speaks English). Last but not least: you can see the chef in action!

This place is a treat, the waiter was able to explain the menu in English and they had a lovely selection to choose from. The wine was quit expensive though with the cheapest bottle 29 euro.

Enjoyed the lovely food in a cosy setting. The kitchen staff were genuinly interested in our opinion and what we were doing in Lyon. Correct waiter who did his job but don't expect too many smiles. Highly recomened, be sure to book in advance.

We were traveling through Lyon and found Danton on TripAdvisor. We called ahead and made a reservation and good thing we did. The restaurant is quite small with seating for about 28 people with a somewhat unassuming exterior. The kitchens opening hours is from 19.30-21.30 and a couple were unfortunately turned away at the door. We were greeted and quite quick the waiter noticed our lackluster french and provided help with translating the french menu.We had a lovely meal where especially; the green peas with smoked ham as a starter, the 72h cooked beef cheek for main and the "disassembled" tiramisu as a lovely finishing dessert is highly recommendable. Had two glasses of local wine from the region which complimented the meal very well. All in all we dined two people - 2 courses with a shared dessert for 70€ with exceptional value for money. We had an excellent dinner and I would highly recommend this culinary pearl in Lyon.
