"Housed in a converted 16C Jesuit refectory, this restaurant in the Presqu'île district has plenty of character, with its stone walls, columns and arches, its vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors and tall windows. Chef Anthony Baud cooks up balanced modern cuisine that emphasises the freshness and quality of the ingredients, in dishes such as Arctic char with pak choi, or a delicious persimmon dessert incorporating ginger and pumpkin seed praline. The set menus are changed up on a regular basis to showcase the ingredients of the season." - Michelin Inspector

Such an amazing dining experience! From the beginning everyone was so polite & friendly. I don’t speak a lot of French but they were all understanding. The food was so incredible!!! I love truffle & their signature dish was nothing that I’ve ever had. All of the dishes were nicely balanced with beautiful presentation. I also chose the wine pairing & the wines chosen went very nicely with my plates. If you are looking for a memorable dining experience I recommend making reservations here.

Lunch was an exceptional value - 35 euro for an inventive, delicious and filling meal (and 10 euro of that was for the water). I would feel bad walking away paying only 25 considering the work that went into it. I had the menu of the day which included: - fresh bread and butter - pea soup with lemon sorbet - the flavor combination and temperature of the sorbet was amazing - a mushroom bisque with egg and little corn puff-type grains - chicken with chanterelle and other sauces Presentation, flavor, and quality of the food was outstanding! Thank you for a wonderful lunch.

I spent hours eating lunch with my friend. Of course French chefs have a global reputation to behold, so I wasn’t surprised by the quality, presentation, ambience and subtlety. It was my first visit to Lyon; I’ll gladly go back. Everything aside; I don’t quite know if I had the dessert, or the dessert had me.

Great location, the place is very nice. Food was also good with a nice and reasonable wine selection. Able to accommodate with food preferences even when going for the découverte menu. The chef is attentive to feedback and also helped serving food. Overall nice place to enjoy good cuisine.

A wonderful evening with great service. The food was beautifully presented, delicious in flavour, gorgeous sauces, with the perfect balance of richness and freshness. Delicious seafood accompanied by fabulous breads served with home made whipped butter. The dessert, berry fresh was a delicious way to end the meal. The wines were also ideal to complement our choice of proteins. The only tiny thing was the need for just a little more accompanying vegetables would have made this meal 10 out of 10!

Beautiful food and good wine pairing,, shame about the awful background music, the guy on the front desk with the grubby t-shirt and very few customers.
