This place really disappoints. I really want to like it because downtown Austin needs a bistro, but Chez Nous doesn’t cut it. Two especially disappointing dishes in recent tries were the salad lyonnaise, where they...

There are several things that I’ve found to be consistently delicious on the menu at Mimosa. Their version of leeks vinagrette, served with lentils de puy, is great. I also like the pate platter and the salad lyonnaise....

Rene Pujol serve that great warm, garlicky Lyonnaise sausage, as does L’Absinthe, but in both cases it’s offered with potato salad rather than lentils. Still delicious, though. If you can find good sausage, this...

, casual restaurants where you can order local wines by the glass or cafare and feast on Lyonnaise specialities like quenelles (dumplings made with fish, pike perch is the common one used in Lyon I believe), a variety of cold...

of many of the offerings at Le Bouchon, but the one constant at either Le Bouchon or La Sardine for me is the Salad Lyonnaise. Thick cut pieces of crispy bacon (lardons) mixed with seasonal baby greens, garlicky croutons,...

expensive. La Voute is tiny and intimate. The best Lyonnaise Salad I have ever enjoyed.

I vaguely remember that Mimosa offered a Salade Lyonnaise (the very salad you speak of, but with croutons as well as lardons and poached eggs). Haven’t been back there in a while, it might be worth calling to see if...

. A deconstucted salad lyonnaise. Duck, frissee and a perfectly poached egg. The egg dissolves into eggy goodness when slurped on top of the salad. Skate. Appetizer portion served 3 ways. Three fish stick sized portions cooked...

Finally got over to Chez Machin for lunch/brunch not too long back. I got a bowl of onion soup ($4.25) and the half salad Lyonnaise ($5). My wife got the #9 savory crepe ($8). The soup was decent, but its emphasis was on the...

mariniere is superb. While you’re not going to get the most trendy, innovative food, their classic salads (like salade lyonnaise) are just as they should be. I consider it a very pleasant, reliable place for an intimate...

with Rose’s Lime Juice we returned to have made with fresh lime juice. No Problemo. The amuse bouche was a perfect little gem of cauliflower soup with truffles. The starters were salade Lyonnaise which was made exactly as...

, salads (I like the Lyonnaise-type). If you’re in the area and you’re looking for a good late-night option or lighter menu, it’s worth stopping in.

Frisee is a frilly endive basically. A Lyonnaise salad usually uses the blonde frisee if available and that is near impossible to find outside of specialty growers (it is blanched in the field involving labour and that means...

Well, I did pick up dinner there last night and we took it to the duck pond in Land Park. This is what we got: Poached salmon sandwich on a baguette. The fish was very tasty and fresh. The baguette however was a little stale....

John, I second your first choice of Le Sardine. We were there a few Mondays ago, half price wine night, and had, as always, an excellent meal. I could not decide between two salads, Duck Gizzard or Lyonnaise, so I had them both....
