Restaurant Paul Bocuse - Review - Collonges-au-Mont-d’Or - Lyon - The Infatuation

"The name “Paul Bocuse” hangs hot and heavy over the whole city. There are four Bocuse brasseries here, and a covered market (Les Halles de Paul Bocuse), where a giant mural of Bocuse himself watches over shoppers. The real institution, though, is this one, a little outside of the city. The space, so brightly colored as to be almost gaudy, in fuchsia and bottle green, is exactly what you’d expect from a French fine dining establishment: chandeliers and silver service. Their dishes scream “luxury” with as much zeal as the price tag—more than twice that of Lyon’s other ultra-fine dining restaurants—and are the Porsches and limousines of the dining world: lobster quenelles topped with caviar in a champagne sauce, or a smorgasbord of pâtisserie. A meal here is an experience, but there are more creative menus in the city." - Anna Richards
