L'Art et la Manière - Lyon

Belle découverte hier soir au restaurant l'art et à deux pas de la maison. Plat de dessert raffiné à 31 EUR. Points positifs excellents repas produits frais bon service bon cadre. Negative pointe notre place prête de la banque envahie par des flyers et le patron très cool mais qui sert en tee gris avec des halos de sueur énorme de partout qui font leur apparition dès le début de la soirée ... Pas trop glamour...

There are lots of restaurants in Lyon. Some are superb whilst some are simply good. This is one of the superb ones. The setting, the food and the welcome are all first class.We had a vegetarian in our group ans they couldn't have been more accommodating. (particularly as we had forgotten to forewarn them)Each course was lovely and the ambience was romantic and friendly.I was surprised at the odd negative review as this place was recommended to me by several people in Lyon and it lived up to my expectations. If you want good food that is well presented this is one to put on your shortlist.

Arrived in a party of 5 - we had pre booked a table during the week - it was not too busy the restaurant looks good from the outside, they have made it quite simple in design. I had high hopes of my food being of a high quality - unfortunately this was not the case for me - I ordered the foie gras for starter and veal for main - the foie gras was just average and not really exciting - but this was not as bad as my main meal - the Veal came in a pastry pie - the best part of the dish was the due it was sitting in - firstly my expectations where high but I got the worlds driest pie ever - it was just tasteless, such a disappointment, I have eaten better pies in motorway cafes, and the taste was not pleasant. For the cost they are charging and the poor quality of the Veal it was awful. I opted for the 3 cheeses and again just average, presentation was poor and Taste was not great.I am giving the place two stars instead of just one because of the nice wines they serve. Maybe I just ordered the wrong things, my colleagues advised they had ok meals. But I think regardless of what you order the quality should be high and this was not the case for me!! Must do better !!!

Avoid. Lyon is a city full of convivial restaurants, and this is not one of them. The food was both very good and mediocre - excellent, tender veal; but ravioli was a formless mush. Above all, the server's perfunctory arrogance cast a chilly spell over our entire dinner from the moment we stepped in. Maybe this place used to have a vibrant, beating heart, but there is no sign of that now.

How is this gem of a restaurant not in the top 100 of Lyon eateries?? 3 of us shared 12 starter dishes (we felt like making it a tapas night to enjoy more variety). Small portions but all excellent dishes, with a good selection of wine. The staff communicated well and gave great recommendations. Definitely worth a revisit the next time I'm in Lyon!

Was here yesterday for a very very quick bite. As usual Fred was on the top and made it happen! Food was good and generous as it should be. Thanks mate...

Brilliant food. Attentive and polite service. A gourmet extravaganza at a very fair price. Stunning value, a real treat. €32 for three courses.

I came across L’art et la Maniere on the Michelin Guide (it’s Bib Gourmand rated) and one of the rare few restaurants open on a Monday night for dinner in Lyon.The three-course menu at 32 euros is varied enough to suit different preferences. For the starter, I had the Cannelloni stuffed with Foie Gras served on a chilled gelatin. The Foie Gras was one of the creamiest I had, and was complemented well by the thinly wrapped Cannelloni. A very beautiful starter! For the mains, I had the Entrecote Steak served with a side of mashed potatoes and truffle cream. Unfortunately, my medium rare steak came out more rare and subsequently, medium after re-cooking it. Many other patrons ordered the steak and did not seem to have a similar problem (perhaps because of the English language barrier?), but nonetheless, I still enjoyed it after with the wine pairing. The steak was a good size. Truffle cream was also enjoyable.For the dessert, I had the mascarpone-stuff Apricot in a sea of apricot – it was rather flat and slightly too sweet, but my boyfriend had the chocolate paired with berries and that was divine! The chocolate was rich yet not overbearing and the berries a good mix of sweet and sour – perfect.Their service deserves a good mention. On top of the Amuse Bouche, they gave an additional smaller-sized starter – a rouget barbet with potato slices (replicating scales!). They also took the time to translate the French menu into English for us (checking whenever they are terms they are unsure of). The service made up for my steak having to be re-done.Overall, the food’s a good value for money! I had a relaxed dinner and enjoyed the intimate setting in the rustic bistro.
