De passage à Craponne un dimanche midi, on décide de se faire un petit resto. On tombe sur celui ci qui est ouvert. Ils nous prennent sans réservation.Restaurant ouvert et en plus sans réservation un dimanche de plus en plus rare. Menu du jour un dimanche à 20€ ( entrée, plat, fromage et dessert). Cuisine traditionnelle et faite maison. Rien à redire
