Discover the menu of the Bistrot du Palais in Lyon 3
Offering simple, lovingly-prepared produce, a menu that changes every day and combines the freshness of the seasons with the comfort of classic recipes from the ‘slow cuisine’ tradition, formulas adapted to the time you have available, and always unbeatable value for money. Whether you are in a hurry or in the mood for lingering over a leisurely meal, this is the perfect gourmet destination!
The starters of the day include a tempting and crispy black pudding served with Golden Delicious apples, a succulent duck foie gras terrine topped with a fig chutney, and a lentil and tongue of beef salad... These are just a few examples from the winter menu, all of which can also be enjoyed as a dish of the day.
The dishes are sure to tantalise the taste buds, from beef tartare to andouillette sausage from Lyon's renowned Sibilia charcutier. And then there's calf's head with its gribiche sauce, fillet of gilt-head bream or the meltingly tender lamb shank served with Tarbais beans.
And as befits the bistro tradition, cheeses are taken very seriously here and given pride of place. Whether you choose to indulge in Mère Richard's half Saint-Marcellin, a Bleu d'Auvergne, traditional ‘Cervelle des Canuts’ or fresh goat's cheese, marinated in the aromas of thyme, they all provide the perfect transition before the desserts bring the meal to its delectable close.
