Café Joseph sur Lyon

I knew Café Joseph before the change of ownership and I loved it, here is my experience with the new owners: the welcome is very friendly and relaxed. Unfortunately the typical decoration of the cork with the old menus has disappeared, leaving the yellowish and sad walls of the room bare, even if the exterior is nicely repainted. The food remained very good: the two of us shared a homemade crusted pâté, very fragrant, and I had a veal strawberry andouillette which was tasty. Accompaniments; I had rice and ratatouille instead of the advertised gratin dauphinois, but with the heatwave this change can be understood. I don't think the ratatouille was homemade, but it wasn't bad, I quite enjoyed it. My guest had a gravelax salmon which seemed very good but light in quantity, as well as a dessert: a slice of blueberry pie. I tasted it, it was good, the blueberries were fresh. I think this tart would have deserved to be more rustic, without syrup to make it shine and with more fruit. Finally the wines were quite correct. The bill was quite high however, the prices have really increased, but hey, everything has increased everywhere so can we blame them? In short, a good experience overall, with simple, good food and pleasant service. I give it a 4 star rating for the reasons mentioned above and I will return without problem. I wish the new owners great success!
