Waffle Factory, France sur Lyon

07/10/2026: Ridiculously good. We’ve ate at many Michelin star restaurants and the quality of the food and service here paralleled them. - I cook a lot. I obsess over making great chicken. This restaurant redefined for me what chicken can be — the mushroom butter sauce is perhaps my favorite sauce of all time. - They have a rare chartreuse selection. We started with a drink in the “cave” next to the restaurant. - The sommolier knew his wine (no surprise). I was at first angling for a Chablis or Sancerre but he recommended the white CDP so the chicken didn’t overpower the wine. It was both a great selection and cheaper than the options I was pointing out. They then decanted the wine, brought out an ice bucket — the whole deal that many restaurants will often skip. - Escargot and desert (the sorbets with the shell) were also both S-tier. At a Michelin tasting menu they both would have been standout dishes.
