Le Gourmand de Saint Jean

Le Gourmand means the sweet-tooth, and it's a restaurant located in the old medieval district of Saint Jean behind Lyon Cathedral. The restaurant is a "bouchon", a traditional style of restaurant in the city. They are very friendly, with large tables where you sit next to other patrons and where you almost always end up singing after dinner in the streets of Lyon. The Gourmand has a menu for 20 euros, but it does not include wine. The portions are generous, but it's also a bit touristy so the quality isn't the best in Lyon. Among the dishes you have to try are the regional specialties like the0 Dauphinois potatoes with cream quenelles, the salads, and chicken livers.
