Alex Restaurant - Lyon

We had a nice dinner at this modern brasserie. My wife had the salade du moment and I had the poireaux vinaigrette for starters and steak for the main course. Portions were large and quality was good.

We arrived in a small group, all Brits but they produced an English menu without having to ask. We had a glass of wine each, mine was a white cote du Rhone and chilled to perfection. We all ordered the mushroom soup for starters and...were very glad we did, it was hot, rich, full bodied and creamy with loads of fresh sourdough bread. The others had serrano ham on top of theirs but I said I didnt eat red meat so the chef asked if I would prefer lemon vodka topping instead, perfect! We then had the tiger prawn risotto, again, delicious and very creamy with loads more sourdough bread to mop up. We finished with the gourmands long coffee plate with various cakes and a shot glass of panna cotta topped with raspberry sauce, again more angels on the tongue!

Modern restaurant with traditional French hospitality and culinary standards fantastic holiday menu, the really high-quality food was very close to the metro station a very beautiful part of the city

Excellent cooked and prepared meals. we ate twice here. very friendly staff offers excellent service. highly recommended.

Pour un repas d'affaire le midi, c'est excellent. Le service est rapide mais reste à discrétion. La salle est superbement décorée. 28 euros sans les vins. Entre parenthèses ce jour là à 3 on s'est un peu lâché, ce qui a gonflé pas mal l'addition... Mais la cuisine est de très bonne qualité, servi en quantité suffisante, le médaillon de veau est une merveille. Le choix dans les plats est limité dans les entrées (que des crudité), j'ai vu passé le pâté en coute, dommage. Sinon il faut prendre le repas à 42 euros. En bref : une très bonne table à Lyon.
