"Chef Gaëtan Gentil's new restaurant in the Confluence neighbourhood is housed in a building that is eco-responsible from floor to ceiling, and that includes the French oak tables. From the open kitchen in the middle of the space, he creates his seasonal cuisine that highlights the produce of the Rhône Valley terroir, using herbs and wild plants to great effect. This creative, instinctive yet carefully thought-out cooking is based on the elevation of ingredients, which are subject to numerous variations and enhanced by sauces packed with flavour. All his chosen suppliers share the same commitment to the environment: permaculture market gardeners, more sustainable livestock farming, wild or more appropriately reared freshwater fish. The 950 organic and natural wines on the wine list follow suit, slotting into a meal that is delicious but does not come at the expense of the planet." - Michelin Inspector

Lyon is Taking Over as France's Global Gastronomy Capital

"Prairial: The name means 'relating to prairies or meadows' and is decidedly emblematic of the culinary approach of this restaurant. Chef Gaëtan Gentil pays tribute to all things that grow— fruit, herbs, vegetables—and sources meat from local farms and fish from the region's lakes and rivers." - Sophie Friedman

Fantastic service from the waiters, with detailed descriptions of each dish. The sommelier selected wines with real expertise, sometimes making atypical choices that paired beautifully with the food. The food was delicious, well thought out, and visually mesmerising, representing the very best the region has to offer. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, complemented by a calming, minimal design.

Terrific dining experience. We did the 6-course tasting with wine pairings and were blown away. Note that the 6 courses didn’t include 3 amuse-bouches that start every meal, meaning we were absolutely stuffed after practically 9 courses of food. Highlights for us were the 36 hour tomato and stuffed courgette flower, especially with the wine pairings. The wine complimented or contrasted the dishes in perfect ways, either balancing sweeter courses or tempering more acidic courses. For a fine dining restaurant in Lyon, it offered very good value for money, especially with the wine pairings. Note a couple of the photos were taken after we had tampered with the plating (or the goat cheese ice cream had started to melt); everything came out pristine.

This is truly a once in a lifetime experience. The food was truly exceptional. The open kitchen design is unique and makes you feel entertained as they craft and plate each course. As our first Michelin star restaurant we were stunned with how exceptional each course was. The wine pairing is also truly unique experience. It utilises truly unique wines and flavours to make incredible pairings. It is well worth including. They asked us for a cocktail aperitif which wasn’t included. And the wine pairing started after the appetisers.

On a scale of 1 to ten, just about everything was an 11. Even by French standards, we didn't realize that food could taste this good. This restaurant has an open kitchen, and it was a pleasure to watch the team work together to create each course. We selected the wine pairing menu, which was fascinating each wine, some of which were unusual, enhanced each course.

Fantastic restaurant. The restaurant is more of a show of how the food is prepared. Very cool setting. The staff make you feel very welcome as soon as you set foot in the door. The attention to detail is brilliant. The food is outstanding. Every dish tasted fantastic and prepared beautifully. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion.

It was amazing. A highlight of my trip to Lyon. The food was varied, artistic and tasted amazing. All in all we had 13 unique dishes that each felt like a one of a kind experience. Each dish came with in depth explanations and we had a wine pairing which in depth described the wine and how it related to the dish. Everything felt like it had so much intention and thought behind it. With the kitchen in the middle of restaurant you are able to see the care behind how they operate and the energy the chefs bring to the experience. It felt like more than a meal and every person who you interact with takes great care regarding your experience. A nice touch I felt was the hand made stoneware from local female artists which are used for all of their plates, bowls, mugs and more.

From the outside this is pretty unassuming. We weren't even sure it was open. There were some other diners who looked equally unsure, until someone took the plunge and walked in, and the rest of us followed them. Once inside we were sat right next to the open kitchen, where it was a well-oiled machine of chefs quietly and meticulously getting on with things. The dishes were all amazing, looked great and well presented. 3 delicate amuses-bouche to start with. Then the meal itself; 3 vegetarian dishes (or at least the vegetable was the star of the show), one meat, one fish, and 3 desserts. Then petits-fours. All great.

Very good restaurant. Let's start with the good feedback: Very good cuisine. Each plate was balanced in flavour. I would have appreciated more of they were more stylish. Service. Very nice and friendly. Not formal. Wine selection for me was the highlight of the dinner. Each glass was pure heaven. Ambience. I did not like the ambience and the decorations at all. It should be retouched. Overall, I highly recommend this place.
