Campanile Lyon Est L'lle d'Abeau sur L'Isle-D'Abeau

03/04/2024: Remarkable in every way. What strikes you at first impression is of course the setting of this large building which combines the charm of old residences with the modernity of more contemporary fittings, in a cozy atmosphere. The staff, then, is measured by the quality of the dishes served to you. Discreet, present, attentive, efficient and always smiling. Despite the brisk pace that we can guess from the number of rooms to be served, the waiters are pleasant and don't let anything show through, with quiet efficiency. The dishes, for their part, are tasty and original without overdoing it. The pan-fried foie gras is served with a perfectly balanced accompaniment. The flavors balance and intertwine in an ideal combination between the power of the foie gras, the bitterness of the endive softened by the slightly sweet sauce and the sweetness of the gingerbread toast. The arctic char, apparently more classic, is based on a Camargue risotto which complements it pleasantly. However, we are surprised to discover a preparation of foamy char under a toasted biscuit and, a mark of the quality of the dish, the toast, when cut, does not crush the foam as one might expect. 'wait there. I will not mention the surprise of the cheese platter so as not to spoil anything: the profusion makes the choice difficult. The dessert, for its part, is halfway between the sin of originality and that of gluttony. Unfortunately, disturbed by the (decreased) offer of coffees, we completely ignored the sweets which should have ended this pleasant experience. No problem without solution, the staff immediately offered to place them in a box for us without being upset about our false start. In short, if the setting and the quality of the food live up to what one has the right to expect from this type of establishment, the service breaks the ceiling in terms of welcome, efficiency and professionalism.
