Kalamis Baran sur Lyon

27/04/2026: It's impossible not to fall in love with Le Chanteclair. Even on your first visit, you already feel like a regular. The atmosphere is exactly what you look for in a true Lyonnaise brasserie: warm, relaxed, and unpretentious. The verdant decor, with its flowers hanging from the ceiling, is a delightful surprise and gives the room a wonderful charm. As for the food, the chef doesn't go in for frills—and that's a good thing. The dishes are generous, straightforward, and well-executed. The burrata pesto starter was divine: creamy, fresh, with a perfectly flavored pesto. For the main course, the sea bream was cooked to perfection, meltingly tender inside and golden brown just the right amount. Simple yet expertly crafted flavors, like a Proustian madeleine with every bite. A very special mention goes to Soline, our waitress—simply exceptional. She recommended the burrata and the sea bream, and she was absolutely right! Smiling, attentive, and incredibly efficient even during the busiest times, she made our evening truly memorable with her infectious good humor and perfect knowledge of the menu. The kind of rare waitress who makes all the difference. The rest of the team is just as dynamic and cheerful—you can tell everyone is enjoying themselves, and it's palpable throughout the restaurant. The covered terrace on Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse is ideal for observing the neighborhood at any time of day, and the wine list by the glass is very reasonably priced. This is a place we'll definitely return to and recommend to anyone who wants to experience the authentic spirit of Croix-Rousse. Well done to the whole team, and thank you, Soline!
