Café Vatel sur Lyon

20/08/2024: I had a great time, the terrace is great and the food is very good

19/08/2024: I came to the Cour des Miracles as part of a meal with work colleagues, the setting is really nice, the backyard is pleasant for eating lunch with beautiful shaded areas. On the service side, the copy needs to be reviewed, just at the drinks reception half of the things ordered were not compliant, or simply forgotten. There is a lot of work to be done on this! What happened next with the dishes did not change the situation, some had finished eating the dish while others were still not served. Concerning the dishes, they are quite simple, not necessarily generous in terms of quantity, although I had the starter + main + dessert formula, it was not enough to upset my stomach! The starter was ok with melon + ham, despite the melon having no taste at all. The main course was quite bland, sparse, without real presentation, and lacked taste. The dessert was quite good without being overwhelming (crumble), my colleague's fondant (which I finished) was also good. In short, a place on paper that is really nice, but a real gap must be made in terms of cooking for everything to be good! Few things are offered for people who do not eat meat. Too bad because there is potential! The person who made the reservation had suggested this place because he had a good memory (great place + meal) but obviously, it was before because he also came away disappointed, just like me.
