Description

In this friendly neo-bistro, the menu gets straight down to business - it is concise, to the point and stars dishes that are as hearty and unpretentious as they are delicious, while the wine list showcases regional (but not only) producers. The chef’s consummate technical know-how shines through in his perfect mastery of cooking times and techniques, while the desserts are fully equal to those of any high-flying pastry chef. A warm welcome and slick, smiling service. If they are full, try L'Escapade Danton next-door.

Review summary

Danton is a small French restaurant in Lyon. Most reviews praise the high food quality, professional service, and cozy atmosphere, noting it is accommodating for wheelchair users. The menu is concise with fixed-course options, featuring refined dishes like octopus and pork. However, some guests express concerns regarding value, citing small portion sizes and high prices relative to the quantity. A few negative reviews mention rudeness from management, unrefined main course options like hake, or industrial-tasting desserts. While the culinary execution and service are generally highly rated, visitors should be aware that portions may be modest and the pricing premium.

Suitable for diners seeking refined small-portion French cuisine and attentive service, though those sensitive to portion sizes should proceed with caution.
