Carpe Diem sur Lyon

Very good address to remember in Lyon 6th for lovers of calf's head and all the desserts are top-notch homemade. We come back with pleasure every time

Apple herring in oil, calf's head

Mythical restaurant, an absolutely sublime veal head 😍

I've lived in Lyon for years and yet this is the first time I went to the Carpe Diem restaurant. How could I have missed this institution, located in the 6th arrondissement??? In summary, the 95-year-old chef and his son will take care of you with their bourgeois and canaille Lyonnaise cuisine: veal liver, veal sweetbreads in yellow wine to order, foie gras, andouillette, a short menu but so much the better. For my part, I chose the veal head with gribiche sauce (the best in Lyon apparently) and I was not disappointed. The cooking was perfect, the vegetables and the gribiche delicious. The plate was very generous. I confirm that it is one of the best veal heads I have eaten. For dessert I went for the imperial mandarin pancakes, not bad at all too. The rum baba was also very good. Next time I will choose the frozen Vacherin, a specialty of the house and which seemed enormous to me!! A beautiful address to discover and what's more, you will have the smile and kindness of the restaurateur's wife, who takes care of the room. Yum yum!!
