Dine Dong - Lyon

We went to Dine Dong with friends to celebrate new year eve and we spend a great evening ! Beside the large choice of fresh ingredients, the flavorful dipping sauces and well seasoned broth, we really appreciated the friendliness of the waiters. Cherry on the cake: At our table we had 6 different nationalities and the waiters were surprisingly able to speak (at least a bit) of all these 6 languages (French, Chinese, German, Spanish, English and Japanese).

After staying in Europe for 12 days, I need a break for Mediterranean cuisine and so I chose Chinese hotpot. It is a all-you-can-eat buffet and the boiling pot is fuelled by a candle (so it takes a bit of time to heat up). That’s why they have also prepared some appetisers like fried spring rolls, salads, melons, lychees, and cold seafood platters. So far, they taste nice. They have 3 types of soup for the hotpot: clear soup, tomato and spicy. I chose tomato soup base (I thought tomato is common in France and expect the soup is full of …. To my surprise, only a small piece of tomato is found) anyway, i just want some vegetables today with beef and they are of acceptable quality. However, it is **** hot in June and they have only 2 air conditioners in the restaurant and the cooling fan is at the food corner. I feel like I made a bad decision to do hotpot and luckily, I bring my own paper fan and I can cool down myself slightly… while the couple next to me, they are sweating all the way … It is a nice idea to do hotpot during summer if the shop offers good air conditioning. Hope they can get a movable cooling fan (quite common in China) in the restaurant or else, I feel like it was a torture last night despite the food quality is good.

Missed hot pot so much so I decided to go there for hot pot lunch. Food is served as buffet, so you take whatever you want. They serve cooked plates that you can eat while waiting. There is a variety of choice: dim sum, sushi, tempura etc. (for me it's a but weird to serve sushi and tempura tho) For the soup you can choose light or spicy. Choices of food are sufficient as well. The pork is delicious. If you are a sweet tooth, don't make yourself too full by the main course (ie the hot pot) as you have dessert waiting for you! The restaurant owner seems nice and talks to the customers in a friendly manner.
