Lyon, France
From Michelin Guide
In this old building done out in a contemporary decor on the banks of the River SaΓ΄ne, Matthieu Girardon serves up his personal, uninhibited and technically accomplished take on modern cuisine. His jus and sauces elevate many of the dishes, including a pearlescent Arctic char with a fumet emulsion and a beurre blanc with fish roe. The seasons and market availability dictate the contents of his blind tasting menu, which can be adjusted to suit your budget and appetite. Wine pairings β Burgundy takes pride of place, of course β come from the restaurant's exemplary cellar.
