Another spot we have enjoyed in the past is The Juliette Restaurant et Bar à Cocktails . It is a short walk down the street from our apartment. (Rue Moncey, the street our apartment is on, becomes Rue Juliette Récamier in the next block.) So after dinner one night, David suggested we stroll down and have a glass of champagne. Anna rarely (never?) turns down an invitation like that, and so we were off.
Since we have been gone for two years and a Covid pandemic, we were uncertain about what to expect. Would the staff be the same? Would the experience be the same? Well when we arrived, the same manager greeted us with a big smile and welcomed us back - in English, no less. We chose an outside table (great for people watching) and settled back to enjoy our champagne and the scenery.
Our table was the round one on the far end.
The gentleman at the table next to ours offered to show us the menu on his phone (lots of menus are via QR code these days). We thanked him and explained that our order was on its way. (Next time someone tells you the French are rude, you have permission to laugh derissively at them!)
It's really hard to beat a lovely summer evening in Lyon and a nice glass or two of champagne at a very pleasant establishment like The Juliette!
