Amazing place and the history is rich! 
I really enjoyed the freshness of the food and the beer was great!

As others have said- it's a very understated brasserie that delivers delightful meals, easily located across from the west end of the gare de lyon. We were pleasantly surprised by the level of detail in the dishes. Even standard plates likes steak hache' had an extra touch like house made mayonaise and the frites had house made "cocktail sauce"- aka ketchup for Americans.

I had the filet in the beer sauce-- amazing. Our server was very attentive- she made sure that my girls (who had never travelled internationally) were comfortable. They were all smiles with the simple glace served at the end ;-)

Wonderful little casual spot near Gare de Lyon! Walking distance from our hotel, and we stopped our last night in Paris for drinks and a quick dinner - you cannot go wrong! 
We both got the bavette d'aloyau (steak & fries), and the crème brûlée. Très bien! 

The price is reasonable, the service is fair, and the food is good!

Was really skeptical walking into the place but omg the food was great, service was awesome and we wish we would have stopped in earlier. We'll definitely be back when we stay in the area

My husband and I recently took a trip to Paris and this was the very first place we came. Had just gotten off from a long flight and had dinner reservation for later, so we just needed a drink and some food. We were greeted by a very nice bartender who understood our attempts to speak French and helped us order. Beers were great and food was also.

This is a very nice bar. The beer selection was good and so was the food. The staff was very courteous. It is a good place to relax and have some nice pints.

I suggested B that he should try some French Beers. French are known for their wines but not so much for their beers. I mean there are good German and other good beers imported into French at a reasonable price so why would they concentrate so much in making beer. But I insisted and I believed that somewhere there must be some craft beer places. I looked and googled and found Express de Lyon. This place is not quite a craft beer place.They don't have the big vat and they don't make beer here. THIS IS A PUB. 

Well... I mean we are in Paris. What do we expect? A place that make their own beer and serve their own beer. No.. Real Estates here are pricy. 

Ok.. So Express de Lyon offers beer from around France but also beer from else where. B ordered 4 different glasses of beer with one from America (that was a mistake order). I had tried every one of them too. Note: I am not a beer person so I can't tell between a good beer and a not so good one. To me all beer tasted like barf. But I am not saying they are not good beer, it is just my taste buds.

So B ordered:
-Dark Cherry Chocolate
-La Mer Rouge
-Chimay
-Saison Dupont

He liked them every one of them. So the kinds of beer that they offer here are more tailored to the popular tastebuds. What I mean here... is that they serve beer that will suite the general populations. You won't find beer that would have the weird kick or a weird extreme taste. 

This place also serves food after 5 pm. The place does get very busy. The good part is that ordering drinks here they offers free peanuts. They were good peanuts too. Service was great. 

I do highly recommend coming here. They offers good selections of beer.

Great low key spot by our hotel, very much a locals spot. The staff was nice and attentive. The beers and burgers are amazing, as well as the other menu items. Stopped by a couple of times during our week stay. They do charge double the price for beers if you're a tourist- or for having table service? Not sure which one because we even tried ordering at the bar and still got double charged. Not mad about it, just a heads up. Would definitely return next time I'm back!

This is a nice little spot for a quick bite to eat and something to wet your whistle.  I stopped in and had a  good beer and a delicious burger.  The staff was friendly and the service fast. If your in the neighborhood I recommend you give it a try.

Popped in here with my girlfriend after a chateau tour (and before our train at Gare de Lyon). Great craft beer selection and standard pub food at a good price. Friendly bartender/staff and a very local feel to it, seemed like they knew lots of the folks coming in. 

Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for a brew.
