Parallel to Marché Saint-Antoine in Lyon there is this fabulous place called: Burgundy Lounge
It's directly next to Le Café du Marché and a stone throw away from Vins Guyot.
It looks very clean cut from outside and I suppose it is very elegant inside too.
One early evening after our one casual stroll for too long along the river Saône Mr. G decided that he needed to sit down with all of our grocery shopping stuffed in the newly acquired "Granny trolley", we went in for a small drinkie.
It was very pleasant and according to Mr. G it was one of those small sweet moments in Lyon that you left feeling very content and all is well in the world. We were told about this special evening GOÛT DE FRANCE and he promptly booked it.
Few weeks after, we went to this scheduled dinner.

This is what we had:
Amuse Bouche trio
Butternut squash puree sorbet with walnut crumbles (smooth and nutty, I go nuts over it!)
Marinated oysters with oyster and petit pois aspic (the micro herb holy basil brought out the best of those oriental flavour marinated oysters!)
Cheesy marshmallow with grated aged Comté (interesting texture!)
We took 1 glass each, based on the sommelier's recommendation:
 |
| 2013 David Moreau Beaurepaire Santenay Premier Cru |
 |
| 2011 Chablis Premier Cru Côte de Léchet (very memorable for me!) |
Crème brûlée au foie gras
Mr. G's glee over sitting next to a wall of wines and the extra dish!
The chef loves his micro herbs!
Salad of market vegetables in cooked and raw form with grapefruit, smoked haddock and homemade ketchup (may I please add: the burnt onion strips were sensational!)
One more glass each:
Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 2013 (I really like this one!)
Michel Gay et Fils 2012 Beaune-Coucherias Premier Cru
Quinoa salad with pesto, marinated mackerel fillet with raspberry vinegar and puffed rice
Did the chef cook those quinoa with rocket pesto water to make it green? The rice puff tastes essentially like a Chinese prawn cracker- in a very good way!
Mackerel very tasty!
Bresse Chicken ballotine stuffed with marjoram peas, beet coulis, caramelised onion and hay sauce
See how Mr. G is happily cutting away his main course!
Micro herb again!
And of course; we took another glass each again. This time: red.
Fixin Domaine Denis Mortet Vieilles Vignes
Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Corvées Domaine Henri Richard
Cheese selection from Didier Lassagne
Passion fruit cream, pistachio sponge cake, coco crumbles over formage blanc sorbet and meringue disc
Hand torn green sponge looks like velvet green grass covered mountain
Oh yeah the chef Loves his micro herbs! It does add tastes to the dish!
Yummy Bonne soirée it is!
With quite a few fine wine available by the glass: Good place for a stop over drinkie and great place to have dinner.
