Last night we enjoyed a great meal at a typical Lyonais "Bouchon" recommended by our hotel owner. Generally the Bouchons are small rustic restaurants with a warm family-and-friends type atmosphere, fantastic service, and great food. I ate the juiciest yummiest piece of pork. It came in a crock pot bathed in an incredible red-wine sauce (the consistency of a marsala type sauce) with oven roasted potatoes... mmmmm mmmmm mmmm. I couldn't stop eating it until the pot was empty.
In fact, if you've ever eaten at the little French place in Coconut Grove (as Valentina and I have a few times in the past) you might notice that it boasts Lyonnaise food and the name of it is... "Le Bouchon". In terms of the decor of the restaurant, that's pretty close to how it looks here in Lyon! I can't remember if the food and service in Miami was authentic though? At any rate, if you can't make a trip to Lyon in France, I'm quite sure that Coconut Grove in Miami is the next best thing. ;)
