When, in 1984, Guy Lassausaie took over a restaurant founded eighty years earlier by his great-grandfather, he became the fourth generation to man the kitchens of this former coaching inn. He brings to this family heritage his experience of top restaurants such as Fernand Point in Vienne, and now serves dishes which blend traditional Lyon cuisine with ideas he has picked up on his travels abroad. Over the seasons, flavours and colours combine on the plate to offer a whole range of different sensations: sea bass fillet in a squid ink jus, roast breast of wood pigeon with a buckwheat pancake, loin of suckling pig with a citrus and 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 this cuisine.
