Le Bon, Le Boeuf Et le Truand

In his 8th year of operation, owner and host Eric holds to a fresh ingredient, pure food philosophy that separates his restaurant from many others in Vieux Lyon. With a relatively small menu, this cosy cave-like establishment serves excellent and wholesome meals and the attention to service is the best we encountered in Lyon. I ordered the Burger au foie gras which was among the best burgers I have ever eaten. The magret de canard and sirloin being served at the next table looked equally generous and delicious. My partner ordered salads lyonnaise which was again wholesome, substantial and thoroughly satisfying. An excellent bottle of beaujolais was suggested by Eric and we finished off with the selection of cheeses and a wonderful pressed grappa. If atmosphere and service count for anything, be sure to enjoy a meal at the playfully named 'Le Bon, Le Boeuf Et le Truant'.

Myself and my partner visited this little restaurant on our last night in Lyon and it was great. We were greeted by a friendly man who was happy to translate the menu into English for us (I wish my French was better!). After recommending a perfect wine for the meal we had a very enjoyable main course and the plates were clean by the time we were done. The meat was cooked perfectly, square chips were tasty and the accompanying pepper sauce was also a compliment to the meal. There isn't too much to choose from in the menu but at the end of the day, if you want meat/steak, that's what you get. The pudding was awesome, chocolate tarts with fruit sauce. Very enjoyable meal out. €60 for two including main, desert and wine.

We hadn't booked but the proprietor found us a table. The food was excellent and the meat was perfectly cooked and came with a generous amount of sauted potatoes and salad, which was a relief since the menu gave the initial impression that vegetables were an extra. The pudding was also delicious. My only minor criticism is that customers were still being admitted at about 9.30 and were waiting for a table to become available, which in my experience tends to be unusual in France. I expect the table to be mine for the evening. Having said that I would return.

We've been there for a business diner and we got very nice pieces of meat with fried potatoes. Extremely good meat melting in our mouths. Good service too.
