Aux Lyonnaise is one of those gorgeous bistros that is imbued with an ambiance of Parisian eateries of the 1910s. The belle epoque space is decorated with ornate mouldings, mirrors and tiles that evoke a sense of nostalgia for the Golden Age.
The menu is nothing short of all the classic fare from Lyon. Popular dishes such as boudin noir, quenelles, tripes, foie de veau are served a la lyonnaise, authentic and prepared with great attention.

The line up for the seasonal menu presents some enticing possibilities. It features egg cocotte with girolles and lardons, and pan-fried sweetbread of lamb, which I was more than happy to try out. Gutsy flavours blend well with the style of cooking that brings out the best of the ingredients. The souffle is probably the best I have had in France.

The set lunch menu at 28 euros provides limited options for those who do not have the stomach for pig's ears, calf's head or blood sausage. I have no problem eating them especially when I know perfectly well that I will never get them cooked in the same way outside of France. Go for it as far as your cholesterol level permits.
