Le Jardin de Berthe

• Website: NA
• Address: 3 Rue Fleurieu, 69002 Lyon, France
• Notes: What we ate (con’t): Salade Tariflette – melted Reblochon chese on top of of potato with one walnut and diced bacon. – this dish is named after a well known dish from the alps – its strong and heavy – designed to keep you warm and full in high altitudes. Ravioles Montagnardes – cheese ravioli with diced bacon in a cream sauce witha big slice of reblochon melted on top. This is great and affordable for a quick lunch, and a great way to get aquainted with traditional french food.  If you can’t handle anything heavy — it all basically comes in salad form, or with pasta. The regional ingredients, cheese and wine are very good and very fresh and local. They have several specials with a lunch, drink and dessert under 15 euros as well. The decour is beautiful with arched stone caverns, but the one flaw is track lighting that causes a pretty intense glare worthy of sunglasses depending on your angle. The service was a bit slow, but not bad. We brought a dog and they brought him water and had a good attitude.
• Hours: lunch: 12-2pm, dinner: 7:15 – 10:30pm – open every day except Sunday and Holidays
