"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

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!

Food and service was excellent. Dinner set menu was perfect. Pumpkin soup, warm madeleines, pears, cheese plate, all spectacular. Service was excellent. Attentive, polite, precise and took care of everything without being asked. My favorite Michelin restaurant so far.

Fine dining experience with a more affordable lunch package 😍 in M Restaurant in Lyon. (It is Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking) Great wine suggestion from the ssommelier. The expresso was so good with a dark chocolate especially as the ending of the meal. Finally... a proper French meal from my list

Our family of 11 dined during the bustling Sirha weekend. Despite the crowd, the service remained excellent, and the food was impeccable. We enjoyed appetizers like ballotine of duck and foie gras, along with mussel salad with grilled leeks. For the main course, we savored pan-fried lean steak, roast duck, and farm-raised pork, with most of us opting for the perfectly cooked steak. Our meal was paired perfectly with great cocktails and nice wine. The portions were just right, allowing us to indulge in the delicious desserts. It was the best meal we had during our 5-night stay in Lyon. M Restaurant is a must-visit when in Lyon!

Honestly the best and most well rounded dinner experience I've had in the years of trying out Michelin guide restaurants across multiple countries. The food was spectacular. I had the fois gras, the duck, and the madelaines. The fois gras was better than many well known award winning restaurants in the city. The duck was hands down the best duck I've had. I'm not usually a fan of the madelaines, but they were superb. The dinner set menu comes to 49 euros, and individual dishes in the 20-30 euros range. Their service was so personalized, able to serve in both English and French, and they made sure everything was to our liking. Atmosphere was modern, green walls with very elegant but interesting decorations and photos. Would not hesitate to recommend, and would definitely go back myself.

We had a lovely 40th anniversary dinner here. It is away from Lyon's tourist areas, but an easy couple of station ride from centretown. The service was warm, the food delicious, and a relaxed atmosphere with the tables well spaced. Would return on my next trip to Lyon.

Very good experience. The service was good. They can speak English so no problem for foreigners to communicate. The food was delicious and we enjoyed it very much!

A Michelin star restaurant. So enjoyable! We enjoyed the three-course meal dinners and everything was excellent. White asparagus salad, and crunchy bacon bits with cured cod fish for starters. Roasted Turbo fish and veau belly for main dishes, and rhubarb pannacotta for dessert. Everything is as good or better than expected. Can't wait go come back with my family again.

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.
