Merle Huitres et Coquillages

This place is awesome! Everything was so delicious! The staff was super accommodating, courteous and friendly.
The seafood was excellent
A must while visiting Lyon.

If you love oysters this is THE place to be! DON'T MISS THIS WHILE YOU ARE IN LYON!!

I maxed out my visits here given the short amount of time I had in Lyon. For the quality of the oysters, it is really cheap IMO. We tried a number of different oysters between our visits. D'isigny #2, Fin de Claire #2, Utah Beach #2, Belon, Gillardeau and the hughmongo Pieds de Cheval. Also NOT to be missed are the sizzling escargot (yes, the butter sauce is sizzling in the shell when it's served to you) and the bulot with aioli.

The service is also great here and very helpful with the different choices of oysters -- even if you don't speak French well.

Here's a hint, eat at the counter instead of sitting inside. The different oysters and other items are at least a 10% discount at the counter. I think some of the oysters are as much as 25-30% off the menu price. I believe it's because you don't get charged taxes when you are eating at the counter.

Best oysters I've ever had have been in France and this place is at the top of that list. That gives this a rare 5-star rating from me.

Didn't get a chance to sit inside, but at the bar. If you're at the bar they will not serve u escargot. So that's a warning if you want some snails...young kitchen guy was very helpful explaining the different type of oysters varying from texture to taste. Must try

Oysters are fantastic, so fresh and sweet, service is excellent as the staff explained everything in English and gave great advice
