restaurant le lion d'or Lagnieu

This restaurant was recommended by colleagues and was very much worth visiting. Thanks to Bastian who discovered my English accent...or the bad attempt in French on my part...and seamlessly exchanged in English for me and was a great help during the meal....(On the way was the menu in English thanks, very appreciated). Food was great, the setting great! I loved the age and ambience of the place, the main beam of the ceiling is impressive! But... it was the most expensive 2 courses 2 coke meal I had!

After an 8-hour drive at Chambres de la Renaissance in Sainte-Julie and asked where we could eat. Le Lion d'Or was recommended. I wanted to make a reservation. Drove three times without seeing the restaurant so unpretentious, very French. Look at the menu and decided to take a complete meal. You don't have to eat in a Paul Bocuse... that was Paul Bocuse in a small town and it reminded me that this region not only has dishes that are excellent, but also a variety of cheeses. The Restuarant is owned by the family and therefore everyone wants to feel that they do their best and it is. We return to our frequent travels from Southwest France to East France. The service was great: we were treated like a royal treatment!

I complained that the steak was tough and was not cooked to medium as I had ordered. The steak had been supplied to me on the plate cooked rare. I could not finish the steak. I was informed by the waiter that the chef said...that I didn't know what I was talking about and completely dismissed. The dish included a salad which was just lettuce. Nice restaurant, pity about the poor service and very expensive.

Good food, attractively presented, We ordered two menu options and shared the entrees. Flambeed cherries were delicious. Well-paced, helpful, friendly service in a pleasant environment. Not cheap but a great way to spend a wet winter evening.

Très bon accueil. Choix des menus, qualité des mets, conseils en vins...tout était parfait. Nous reviendrons c'est sûr...
