‍L'Étage — Restaurant in Lyon

We had a lovely meal and Chef Guillaume was gracious about letting us share one tasting menu (which was enough food for both of us). Chef Guillaume served the guests and was very chatty. Chef d’orchestre en cusine was Nicolas and he split our menu in the kitchen, giving Audre less as requested. The restaurant was two floors up on ancient stairs (the restaurant in the 19th century was a tailor shop). In the first course the Osciétre caviar was the star and a bowl with halibut was also served with house made focaccia. The caviar was a treat—not too salty—just right! The next course the fois gras (made in a bain marie) was the star with lovely garnishes. We were brought two tiny loaves of brioche bread that were great with the fois. The fish course was next and it was a tuna served with katsubushi (bonito flakes) and a beurre blanc sauce on top of polenta. Along side was poutargue (bottarga) and the entire dish was excellent. The lamb was the next course with ail des ours (black garlic) and a samphire edible marsh grass. It was sitting on a purée of celeri rave, was beautifully cooked and very good. Then came the desserts: tiny wild strawberries on top of a foam/mousse of rhubarb and on a cream flavored with Tahitian vanilla. There was a second delicious dessert that Audre has forgotten. With dessert was brought a cacao pod with 2 chocolate mignardise. The cacao was from Cote d’Ivoire and was delicious. Our meal with tea was 71.50€ and we...

There are experiences in your life are immediately special and become memorable forever. Having lunch at L’Etage is one such experience. We have eaten in grander, more famous, restaurants, but none exceeds the joy of lunch here. The Owner/Chef/ Waiter, Guillaume, was everything you want such people to be. Friendly, engaging, but never intrusive, he combined cooking with hosting effortlessly. We had a set three course menu, all beautifully balanced. We come from a fishing area in England. but I have never eaten a better portion of Hake. Perfectly cooked with very creative veg and herbs. We left feeling pleasantly full but not at all bloated. Wine was perfect. The doors to the little balcony were open, the sun pouring through and the sound of the fountains provided the perfect setting. It goes straight into our best meal experiences.

I booked for lunch on 29th Aug 2023 at this restaurant. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor and the building is a few steps from the Hotel de Ville. I wanted to give myself a reward, so I chose the set menu of 4 plats, 2 desserts. The first dish was carvier and halibut fish in a black sauce. I liked that fish was tender and juicy. The 2nd dish was lobster in a soup that smell like dashi (japanese soup). The 3rd and 4 dish were also lobster (lobster & risotto, lobster and mushrooms)

I ended my lunch with strawberry parfait and blackcurrant. The chef explained about the materials and on how to eat every dishes. He was so friendly, introduced me where I should visit in Lyon!! I could tell that he loves his job. It was a good lunch that I will...
