5 /5 Amanda Wijeratne: After visiting Cafe Lyon countless times over the last 10 years, I knew I wanted to celebrate my milestone birthday there this year. Last Saturday we hosted 45 people upstairs. We were so thoroughly impressed yet again!
Rainer and his team were just fantastic. Prior to the event, Rainer was approachable and accessible, always professional and courteous. He gave us advice on all aspects of the function, but took into consideration all our preferences. Some of our guests had dietary requirements which were effortlessly accommodated.
We started the evening with canapés and Cafe Lyon’s signature cocktails as our guests arrived. The canapés were delicious (we wouldn’t expect otherwise!) Special mention must be made to Ned and the other waitstaff who ran the room so well, all night. All were so polite, accommodating and professional.
On being seated, meals were ordered and then brought to the table efficiently, taking into consideration dietary requirements. Guests were able to order their entree and main. Sides were brought to the table to share. A croquembouche was the “birthday cake” which came out on cue after a speech, alight with sparklers.
The food, as usual, was fantastic. Our guests, all raved about the food- particularly impressed were those who hadn’t been before. The drinks were lovely also.
The team were in regular contact with us through our the night which was great. The whole night went so smoothly and to plan.
I would recommend Cafe Lyon for any occasion. We’ve always been so happy with our meal and experience every time we’ve been in the past. Now we have first hand experience of how they handle functions and would highly recommend them for this too.
Thank you Rainer, Ned and the whole team.
We will see you soon!
Amanda & Las.
