Le Biniou sur Lyon

05/04/2024: For the really low price for the set, I really did not set my expectations up high. I would like to say that the food was below average, but considering the price it's somewhat reasonable, I guess. However, since we just ate at a nice French restaurant the day before (admittedly where a main dish costs more than the cheapest set menu here, I was somehow felt a bit let down after this place. But it's probably more of my fault! Anyways, we ordered two sets and were unable to finish anything given. The onion soup tasted sour with too many pieces of bread in it. The steak was below what you'd find at Asian street markets. The best part about the duck (?) was the dauphinoise potatoes below it, which was probably the best made thing here. The profiteroles were dried ones from the supermarket (I guess deep down I naively thought they would be freshly made), and likewise with the ice cream which had a very cheap texture and flavor. It's a classic case of getting what you paid for. If you do decide to eat here, go for the more expensive set menus or something a la carte. The stuff I see on other tables seem to be much more dignified. For the restaurant, perhaps they could get rid of the lowest-end set menu? Also, the lady who seemed to be the manager seemed very... sad? :( the waiters were all very kind though!

04/04/2024: Wow, I didn't expect that for 17€ per menu! While most corks offer a 3 course for around €35/40, Le Laurencin offers it at €16.9. Beyond the price, the cuisine and service are simply impeccable. Smile and omnipresent courtesy! I advise: - Onion Soup - Bavette and Gratin dauphinois - Profiteroles or Tarte Tatin I will come back very soon!
