"A word of warning: the spicy margaritas at Alebrije are so good, you might forget what you ordered. Run by a Mexican chef who combines traditional recipes passed down from her grandmother with classic savoir-faire learned during her training at Institut Paul Bocuse, this restaurant serves the perfect balance between hearty classics and beautiful presentation—think delicate tacos topped with edible flowers, or guava and root vegetables in mole. The setting is intimate, and the small team attentive (and very committed to making sure your glass is never empty)." - anna richards

"After training at the Paul Bocuse Institute and a number of noteworthy spells in top establishments, such as Troisgros, youthful Carla Kirsch, who hails from Veracruz in Mexico, has settled in the Croix-Rousse district. The signature here is clearly Mexican from the décor, which features old rafters with splashes of colour, to the food, which Carla joyfully crafts using top-notch seasonal ingredients (sweet corn in the starter and chili peppers in the dessert). The menu changes monthly and the beverages include a few Mexican wines as well as tequilas and mezcals." - Michelin Inspector
"Chef Carla Kirsch Lopez (of Alebrije restaurant in Lyon) hails from Vera Cruz, Mexico, and makes it her mission to introduce diners to the 1,001 flavors of her rich and tasty native country." - MICHELIN Guide
