One MICHELIN Star : High quality cooking, worth a stop!
Using top quality ingredients, dishes with distinct flavours are carefully prepared to a consistently high standard.
The fourth generation is at the helm of this family business, established in a splendid 18C edifice surrounded by grounds, which was once the holiday home of the bishops of Lyon. The inventive food is the consummate work of a chef who has had a Michelin star since 1993 and who became a MOF in 1997. Top quality regional produce, surgically precise craftsmanship in a classical vein and the occasional more modern technique depict the culinary ethos. This welcoming scene provides the backdrop to dishes such as a soup of frog’s legs with mushrooms and wild garlic, Grenoble-style arctic char, slowly baked in its juices, risotto of soft wheat and beurre noisette.
