Ate a super good meal, had some great beers, watched a beautiful view, tried some dried fish I have never tasted before, played some ping pong. A little costly but worth it.

A very nice spot for beautiful photos and a nice chilly evening by the Saone. One of the best terraces in Lyon. The food is good, but definitely overpriced. The staff are nice and attentive. Deserves a try I think. Cheers.
