When, in 1984, Guy Lassausaie (Best Craftsman of France) took over a the restaurant founded eighty years earlier by his great-grandfather, he became the fourth generation in the kitchen of this former coaching inn. He brings to this family heritage his experience of top restaurants and now serves dishes which blend traditional Lyon cuisine with ideas picked up on his travels: sea bass fillet, rye and caviar pancake and fine artichoke purée or loin of suckling pig with a mango dressing – his combinations of ingredients are sometimes surprising, and always successful! The restaurant’s contemporary décor, with canvases by Lyon painter Jean Fusaro, provides the perfect setting in which to enjoy them.
