How to not quote the Paul Bocuse as one of Lyon’s top gourmet restaurants…
Paul Bocuse is THE culinary reference in Lyon, but not only that! Voted Chef of the Century and Pope of Gastronomy, the French chef has opened his own gastronomic restaurant north of Lyon, as well as several brasseries in Lyon, Annecy and Paris.

Agastache
This year’s favourite ❤️ is Agastache.
Located in Lyon’s 6th arrondissement, this restaurant offers extremely well-cooked dishes with original flavour combinations that we’re not used to eating. For example, you’ll find dishes featuring strawberry and black olive, or kiwi and small weights.
The restaurant run by chef Benjamin Millard has not yet been awarded a Michelin star, but it should be soon… 😉
If you wish to reserve a table, we strongly advise you to book in advance as the restaurant is often fully booked (3-4 months’ wait).
Please note: the restaurant is only open on weekdays, Monday to Friday, for lunch and dinner.
