Restaurant Le Vieux Mont

I logged into my yelp account for the first time in years to post this so any desperate NFL fans in Lyon could find a bar that plays nfl games.

Study Abroad experience: My favorite place to sit out in Place de Terreaux and have a beer.

Sunday: buffet of admissions, frogs or a proposed dish and to finish a buffet of desserts. Affordable wines. in the first room: large family tables. the second room (smaller) is quieter.

We were looking for somewhere to eat lunch on a Sunday and drove past. There is a very large carpark which was almost full-so a good sign. We were welcomed warmly and looked after by the staff. They are so nice and very efficient-obviously have been trained well. The first course was a help yourself buffet-plenty of choice evn for a vegetarian like me. The main course was duck or frogs legs. My husband has duck and I had an omelette. The accompanying vegetables tasted lovely. Pudding too was excellent and a little bit different from the usual creme caramel. The building is full of all sorts of agricultural and domestic items from the past. Big wood burning fire -would be great on a cold day. All in all a good experience.

Sorry this isn't a review for the foodI live in BostonI didn't find the need to try their cuisine while in the French food mecca.
