Restaurant Au Lion de Belfort sur Bisel

Friendly welcome, good lunch served quickly, pleasant service, and cyclists are welcome too, I recommend it!

A good daily menu at a reasonable price, efficient service and a friendly welcome… flawless

Very good restaurant, I recommend it, and not just for the frogs 😉👍

The food was very good, but the service was far too slow despite their friendliness, which is a real shame. There were 10 of us. Some ordered fried carp, while others ordered frog legs and cordon bleu. The frog legs and cordon bleu were served first, and the side dishes only arrived 20 minutes later. The same thing happened with the fried carp. And for extra fries, there was a 30-minute wait. We arrived at noon and left at 4:30 pm. It's a pity because the food was really delicious.

I'd like to share our experience from Saturday lunch. What more can I say than thank you for putting so much love and passion into our meals? Between the homemade foie gras and the simply excellent bull fillet—a new dish, according to the staff—our mouths are still watering... The side dishes were served on platters with warming plates... what a joy to eat something piping hot! And the sauces... you can really taste the homemade quality and the passion for the craft. All served with smiles from the ladies in the dining room. We noticed a few small changes and a refresh in the decor, which we found even more pleasant and very tasteful. We will gladly return, accompanied by our large circle of friends, of course. Best of luck to the entire team!

We came for the second time because the carp is excellent, truly! Very few bones, which is rare for me as I usually attract them. The semolina, poppy seed, and beer mixture is exceptional! However, while we understand that many restaurants struggle to find staff, this experience was somewhat marred by a few issues. On our first visit, the wait was long, and we had to leave "early" because we had other commitments starting around 3 or 4 pm. Today, we had to wait 20-30 minutes just to order our aperitifs. So far, so good, we were patient. Then the main courses arrived, but two side dishes were missing. Admittedly, some are prepared in the morning for the day and may run out, but it would have been helpful to inform us beforehand. Two people ate a dish without any sides. Since the dishes didn't arrive at the same time, one person had almost finished their lunch when the others were able to start, and some of the side dishes had gone cold. I don't know if there's a communication problem within the team, a staff shortage, or if they should consider taking fewer reservations if the service and food aren't up to par. I should mention, however, that we received a discount and that the carp remains, for the three of us, the best in the region! We hope to return, but we might arrive a little earlier to avoid the rush and any oversights by the staff, who seem overwhelmed but remain extremely friendly.

Excellent welcome. Excellent meal (frog legs, beef fillet with maître d'hôtel sauce). Highly recommended restaurant. Everything was delicious and perfect.

The meal was very generous and absolutely delicious, the service was pleasant and almost familial. It was very quiet, nothing to complain about, the temperature was perfect, I will gladly return.

A fantastic welcome 😊 warm waitresses and great service. Beautiful presentation and dishes kept warm. However, I found the fried carp more oily than anything I've tasted before, and the salad portion was very small.

A wonderful discovery. Excellent food and very attentive service despite the restaurant being full. Special mention to our waitress Nadine, who was very professional and took great care of us. We will definitely return.
