Lyon is well known for food. On our visit during the weekend of the Fête des Lumière, Sue booked for the four of us a table for lunch at Les Trois Dômes in the Sofitel Bellecour.
This restaurant received one michelin star – according to viamichelin: 
This is how the hotel describes itself online.
“Drift into the fluid modernity of Sofitel Lyon Bellecour, whose rooftop panoramas take in the majestic Rhône and this UNESCO-listed city where art de vivre was invented. Sleek design by Patrick Norguet recalls the stars and silk of Lyon’s rich heritage.”
The dining room is located at the top floor of the Sofitel, just round the corner from Place Bellecour. The name of the restaurant presumably comes from the view of these three domes.
The dining room has a black, white and silver themed decor.

First, amuse bouche.
Orge Perlée Crémeuse aux Cèpes, Façon Risotto – (Creamy Pearl Barley with Boletus, Risotto Style)
The English translations are taken from their website and some of the descriptions sound a bit odd.
Escargots Coquins Aux Légumes d’Antan (Mischievous Snails, with Yesteryears Vegetables)
Deconstructed.
Pavé de sandre en Ecaille de Pomme de Terre, Crème de Topinambour et son Jus Grassouillet (Zander Pave in Potato Flakes, Cream of Jerusalem Artichoke its Thick Juice)
Poitrine de Cochon Fermier Caramélisé, Palet de Choux et embeurré de Foie gras (Caramelized Breast of Free Range Pork, Cabbage Puck Simmered with Foie Gras) This is my(Chris) main dish, the puck was really amazing, much better than the flavorful but slightly dried pork.
Pomme Reinette Dans Tous Ses Etats, Emulsion Chocolat Dulcey, Spéculoos aux Epices Douces (Reinette Apple in Different Ways, Dulce Chocolate Emulsion, Speculoos Flavoured with Light Spices)
Omelette Norvégienne Tradition, Parfum Grand Marnier (Traditional Baked Alaska flavoured with Grand Marnier)
How was Norwegian omelette translated into baked alaska ? or was it the other way around?
The panoramic windows afforded a view of the Fourvière hill with the “metallic” tower and the basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière.
Across the river Rhône is the swimming pool complex built in the mid 60’s, Piscine du Rhône.
A Ferris wheel was set up in Place Bellecour which we went on … see our later post.
It was a nice long lunch. And then we went to do some Christmas shopping.
