Simply wonderful food in the little village of Beynost, right by the train station. It's not overly frou frou cuisine, but carefully made, well executed, and presented with a solid confidence, no showiness. It's an unpretentious and somewhat utilitarian interior, but Cote Gare's modest decor belies an excellent menu. My colleagues and I were there on a quiet Thursday evening and started off with convivial drinks (a pastis for me) they offered a nice selection of local brews on tap. For my appetizer, I had a charcuterie selection which contained a large variety of locally cured meats; in all honesty, I couldn't keep track of what was what, but they were all good and the amount was generous enough to share for 2 easily. I followed with a main course of the special that night: truit frais (trout), a meaty slab, grilled to perfection, not at all dry, with a friable, crispy fatty skin. Simply prepared and simply delicious the freshness and quality spoke for itself. For dessert, I had a chocolate confection with pralines again I didn't catch the name but it was one of the best desserts I've had in a long time: sweet enough but not so much as to be cloying and a praline that had just enough crunch to complement the creamy chocolate nicely. Nice to know you can get excellent food nearby the industrial zone without having to fight the traffic into Lyon central!
