Le Bistrot Bonnel sur Lyon

15/02/2026: Overall, the food was good but far too expensive for the flavors. The desserts were quite dry and lacked flavor. However, the service was good!

12/02/2026: Now a regular at this establishment, I can attest to the high quality of the cuisine. Undoubtedly one of the best Italian restaurants in Lyon, it never fails to brighten up a monotonous day, transforming lunchtime into a surprising culinary experience. Special mention goes to the exceptionally flavorful olive oil, served with a variety of different breads, which I always look forward to while waiting for my main course. The dining experience is therefore impeccable. However, one slight drawback prevents me from giving it a perfect score: Among the takeaway dishes, the most popular by far (based on a survey of over four people!) is very rarely available. This is the truffle pasta, a true jewel in Zucca's crown, whose erratic appearances are difficult to predict. The feeling of playing the lottery to enjoy the best the cuisine has to offer is quite frustrating. It's entirely up to you to achieve perfection by increasing the frequency of service of this dish and perhaps, I dare say, by adding it to the permanent menu. ERRATUM: As a man of my word, I feel it is my duty to return and clarify, a year and a half after writing this review, that our persistent prayers have been answered: As of Monday, February 9, 2026, the exceptional truffle pasta has been added to the permanent takeaway menu. I therefore award the promised additional star and no longer have any reservations whatsoever regarding the excellence of this restaurant.
