Pasta & Basta sur Lyon

16/09/2026: A place steeped in history. Good food, nothing special. Average service. Worth a visit, a classic.

16/09/2026: I visited this restaurant twice during my business trip to Lyon, France. It's a traditional French restaurant that has been frequented by many celebrities in the past. All the dishes are wonderful, but I especially recommend the beef tartare. It's a simple dish made with raw beef, but the seasoning is perfect, resulting in a deep and rich flavor. This beef tartare was the catalyst for me to eat beef tartare at least 30 times in various places during my stay in France. *Apparently, it can cause stomach upset for those with sensitive stomachs... Here, the staff mixes and sets the beef tartare for you. Their technique is impressive. Another characteristic of this restaurant is that all the staff possess excellent service skills. There was a line before opening, and it's no wonder that it was full by lunchtime after opening. If you go to Lyon, this is a restaurant you should definitely visit.
