French Brasserie extravagance.
We had Egg Mayonnaise which I was excited about, sadly not with tridfle this time and I will say was really under seasoned for my taste. Bayonne Ham and Celeriac Remoulade and I can’t remember the third starter…
For mains we had the sharing Pork and Duxk which were outstanding. The Spinach with Foie Gras was an absolute highlight and must.
We shared a pudding, Creme Caramel my dining partners loved it, I was too stuffed
You’ll enjoy it very much if you manage to get a table x
– tete de moine salad: the simplest, best executed salad I’ve had in a long time.
– the bavette: the herby olive oil was amazing, like a thinner cousin of chimichurri. They didn’t ask how we wanted it cook but it did not matter as if was absolutely perfectly cooked to medium rare, leaning on rarer side.
– the veal: the flavour and sauce was delicious but was a bit chewy and hard to cut. Still delicious.
– beef tartare (main): absolutely phenomenal. Great flavour and well cut.
– creamed spinach: we all enjoyed this. Personal preference is a thicker or more textured cream spinach but enjoyed this nevertheless.
– crème caramel: delicious and light yet decadent.
– chocolate ganache: incredibly rich so definitely one to split but the tart cream on top was a good balance.
All mains came with fries!
Staff are attentive, knowledgeable and friendly.
Atmosphere was great, bustling but not cramped, very convivial.
It’s pricey and the portion sizes are on the small side, but the quality is there.
The food was absolutely delicious, where the calf brain stood out as an especially memorable dish. The snails, lamb, and pheasant were all super delicious.
On top of that, the serving was absolutely excellent, where the waiter was incredibly helpful, friendly, and nice.
It was such an enjoyable experience that we booked in our next visit for my birthday dinner before we left.
Very highly recommend place, and I would argue it is the best place to eat in the area!
Standouts were the salade de saucission, escarole and cheese salad, rabbit, lambs’ kidneys, filet au poivre, the veal chop and a very reasonably priced Marsannay. Everything!
Service is confident and solicitous without being obsequious, pretentious or overbearing. The team was welcoming and, even though we were last table, we never felt under pressure to leave. I can’t thank them enough.
In short, if you haven’t been and love classic Lyonnaise bistro food – but elevated to a level that is perfection – you must go. Two of our party had just come back from Paris and said they hadn’t had a meal there that came close to Bochon Racine. There we go.
Though I paid over £100 per person, I ordered a large amount of food so that I try the tastefully curated menu. Dave, the co-owner was most hospitable and made the night speciall
