"A cocktail of vitamins! Julien Gautier’s cheerful establishment adds a whiff of exuberance to Lyon’s well-heeled, tree-lined Avenue Foch. The smart interior sports a muted blue and flashy orange colour scheme, felt grey designer armchairs, linen tablecloths, a bar and a wine cellar encircled by a conservatory… The similarly charismatic service is as smooth as a silky béarnaise sauce. In the kitchen, the veteran and talented chef, formerly of Léon of Lyon, rustles up an appetising, market-sourced menu, combining flawless technique and know-how in a bid to pamper our tastebuds with delicate flavours tailored to modern appetites. The honey-flavoured madeleines served with a fromage blanc sorbet are awesome!" - Michelin Inspector

An elegant, white-tablecloth restaurant with a slightly older crowd, though the kind waiter made the mood relaxed. Starters were mixed—good shellfish, weaker chicken pâté—while both mains were well prepared, especially the autumn partridge with its rich sauce. Cheese before dessert was solid. Desserts varied: the cinnamon apple was fine, but the honey madeleine with fromage blanc ice cream was a lovely surprise. Classic, refined dining with a few standout moments.

Fantastic M Restaurant I was looking for a restaurant to organize my Team event for 24 people. I selected the M even if it was a bit further out of the hypercentre of Lyon. This was clearly the right choice, the food was amazing and had the expect 'whaow effect' on my Team. Food was great, very French, very elegant and the portion size were perfect. The staff was also really nice & super helpful & attentive. To be noted I was worried obviously about the wines they would select (as you can never be sure when you select a wine package, can go either way), but here in fact it was amazing and the wines were really great! Everyone enjoyed them. The M comes highly recommended by me, I would definitely come back.

The food was very good, and we were very lucky to have the new menu on the first day. I especially like the taste elements of the farmhouse chicken appetiser, especially the mushrooms, which are so wonderful. In addition, the pork I chose for the main course is also well handled, which is one of the most wonderful pork I have ever eaten. The dessert is delicious. The service was very good, and my friends and I enjoyed a wonderful experience. I will come again soon!

M Restaurant was recommended on a Michelin guide website. After travelling from Ireland to Lyon specifically to eat at a restaurant like this, I was disappointed with the experience. The tables were too close together, the food was cold, the wait staff seemed unhappy. The fish dish pictured looked nice but wasn't great. At one point the waiter reached across my companion to pick up an empty bottle, while he was eating. Bad service for France in general, shockingly bad for what is supposed to be a fine restaurant. I don't recommend it.

We booked a table for 6 and we are satisfied with excellent French cuisine experience. Wine and dessert are good.

For my tastes, this food is in the sweet spot : more complex than I would ever prepare at home, but not archly primped and moussed and spumed out of all recognition. Each ingredient is there for a reason and individually identifiable. Celeriac salad followed by hare. Delicious. Wine list excellent with a focus on more local areas. Highly recommended! Service efficient, knowledgeable and human. Overall, a relaxing experience rather than a performative one.

Restaurant M, led by Chef Michelle, visited our table, very kind and nice person, offers delicious, well-crafted dishes paired with excellent service. The menu is creative yet approachable, and the wide selection of wines ensures a perfect pairing for every meal. Great value for the quality—definitely worth a visit!

My rating is actually 4.5 stars, taking away half a star for service. The food here is excellent, definitely a Michelin quality restaurant, both of us ordered fish, a salmon and a pollock, both steamed to perfection. I would say that's the best piece of pollock I have ever eaten in my life. The green gaspacho that I start off with is summer in a bowl, bright, tasty, beautiful and oh so refreshing. The service is a little less perfect. I actually witnessed a little argument between two of the staff. Also, I think they might be understaffed that evening. Our food was served promptly though, just to be fair. I would come back for the fist main course again and again.

Love the foie Gras with chicken meat, surprisingly very tasty! The glutenfree chocolate caramel dessert was heaven... don't mind coming back. Reservation is recommended

Came on a recommendation from a co-worker. Very very very disappointed in the service. Had to flag down the waiter for our wine. Had to flag our waiter for our dessert. Had to remind our waiter for a little of water. Had to flag our waiter for the bill. Other tables seemed to be receiving far more attention and, in fact, came after us and left before us. Extremely, extremely slow and underwhelming service. Appetizers were really great (scallops and braesola). Main dishes were average (Iberia ham, cod). Desserts, in particular the toffee and mousse were worth the wait. Expected a lot more in terms of overall experience. We will not return and cannot recommend.

Although the food was quite tasty and refined, it lacked SOUL. Maybe I felt this way because of the awful decor (a sort of "I'm trying to be chic, yet I'm trying to be 70's, and basically I have no taste" mix) and the snooty French attitude I got from the waiters. We ordered a lot of different dishes from the menu (foie gras, escargots, saint jacques, dessert ...) and although I enjoyed all of them, I was bored. One waiter slammed the water jug I had asked for on the table (please let me insert an eyeroll at their French attitude here). We asked for the check at least 20 minutes before they brought it, REPEATEDLY.

I have eaten at M Restaurant 3 times now, and each time it has been very good. During my most recent experience I ordered: For appetizer, the poached egg over truffled lentil salad, which was absolutely delicious. For entree, the scallops with pumpkin and chestnut. The scallops were nicely cooked if a bit boring, but the pumpkin and chestnut just tasted like fall, really nice. For dessert, the madeleines which were excellent - light, a bit citrusy, and lovely. The atmosphere is a bit casual which seems incongruent with the food, and unfortunately, they don't have an English menu. But overall, it's an excellent restaurant and highly recommended.

Great lunch on the patio. Food was all prepared well and several dishes were outstanding. The ice cream and sorbet that were part of the desserts were especially good. There is a large staff, so you are well tended to. A bit pricy for lunch, but it does feel more elegant in a relaxed way making it a good choice for a special occasion. Not great for vegetarians. I had two courses with fish from the menu of the day. The mascarpone mousse from the menu is wonderful.
