    Absolutely fantastic dinner from the team at Têtedoie the service was top notch, and they were so good at translating to English for me as well as having fun with our table even though we were the foreigners, they probably didn’t understand any jokes I was trying to pop off but still were giving me great back and forth conversation.

    The favorite dish of the night ws the Pike quenelle, the quenelle it self was so smooth it was a mousse and the cream sauce was so decadent and rich! The only thing I didn’t “like” was the chocolate dessert, im not a chocolate fan and it was just chocolate on chocolate nothing special to me but the wife loved it!

    Tip: book well in advanced and request a window-side table and you will have an outstanding view over Lyon, when we went in the late winter of February you could see the town center ferris wheen spinning with it lights going and just see the complete changing of the city through the sun setting from evening into night.
