Michelin-level cuisine. From start to finish, an incredible meal and experience. The Menu du Jour lunch menu is such an amazing value for money it’s almost unbelievable. If you can get a reservation by all means do so. This was our most memorable and finest meal in Lyon, and in fact during our entire two week trip to France we did not eat better. Thank you Chef!

Super expérience and very refined cuisine, there’s only a few tables but the host / chef really takes care of each client. The access is a bit different (not handicapped accessible) but the view from the window is really nice.
We took a tasting menu and it truly was like traveling through the dishes, highly recommend! 👍

AMAZING romantic restaurant in the heart of Lyon, with a beautiful view of the square and fountain. It is small (only six tables) and the owner serves you directly, providing fun explanations of the dishes, their sourcing and their history. Prices were exceptionally reasonable and we left quite full. This was the highlight of our trip to France. I highly highly recommend it. If anyone I know is ever going to Lyon I will insist that they go for dinner. Just an absolutely terrific experience overall.
