Le Bistrot d'Alexis sur Villeurbanne

28/01/2026: This Ninkasi was a bit below my usual fare (this is my third visit in six months). The overall atmosphere is hard to describe, but pretty good! The food and ingredients are always high quality. The drinks were excellent (beer and more), although tonight the beer was so cold I had to use the paper napkins to hold the glass and sipped it in tiny sips (in January, with it being 2 degrees outside, I think you have to be a bit more careful about the temperature of your drinks). The service was friendly and efficient despite the rapid turnover of servers. But the "Snow Patrol" burger of the moment and the Tatin Spirit are enough to make me say I'll be back again.

14/01/2026: A very warm welcome from the bar staff and a big shout-out and thanks to Ismaël, Romane, and Uncle Karim.
