This bistro
style restaurant is a reasonably small and quaint place that has retained much of its
original character both on the outside with its engraved plaques, statues and frescoes and
on the inside with its tiled floor, mouldings on the high ceilings, a zinc bar and the
original woodwork.
Situated in the 2nd Arrondissement of Paris in a
very quiet location, there is also a small lounge area upstairs, which is accessed by the
original mahogany staircase with brass rails where their patrons can enjoy a drink whilst
waiting for their table.
The Aux Lyonnais bistro style restaurant in
Paris has an A la Carte menu with dishes such as pike dumplings, foie gras, coq au
vin, watercress soup over frogs legs done in parsley, steak served with sautéed shallots
and a cheese and garlic mash, Grand Marnier souffle, poached pear with creme fraich.
But there is also a set menu for a lunchtime, which is cheaper, but you do not get many
choices on this, only whatever the dishes of the day are, which do change by the seasons
with what fresh produce is available.
Restaurant Guide Key Points
Aux Lyonnais is open from a Tuesday through to a Friday for lunch and from a Tuesday
through to a Saturday for dinner.
There is a set lunch menu and a set dinner menu which are approximately 30€, but
there is also an A la Carte option which is an average cost of around 45€ upwards not
including drinks.
Reservations are required and they are very particular about punctuality, but because of
where it is situated, if you are no familiar with the area, it may be an idea to have a
map. If you are late turning up to Aux Lyonnais, you may end up not being able to
dine as there are actually two sittings per evening and your reservations must be
confirmed.
Also the dress code is smart casual, but leaning more towards dressy and this type of
attire is expected, so no jeans etc here!
The nearest Metro station is the Grands-Boulevards.
