â La PrĂ©sidence â A Crown Jewel of Lyon â
Speechless â in terms of quality, flavor, offering, and service.
Tonight, I didnât dine â I surrendered to an orchestra of senses conducted by masters of their craft.
From the very first scent rising from the plate, to the final echo of a wine note still dancing on my tongue, La PrĂ©sidence transported me beyond cuisine â into a realm where flavor becomes memory, and hospitality becomes devotion.
Every dish was a chapter of precision and passion, crafted not just with skill, but with soul.
The service? Invisible when privacy called, present when intuition whispered. Not trained â born to host.
And the ambiance? A balance between elegance and warmth, as if the walls themselves knew they were guarding something sacred.

Pic, AllĂ©no, Blanc, ⊠mon travail mâa amenĂ© Ă dĂ©couvrir quelques grandes tables, que je nâai pas les moyens de mâoffrir. Ce soir Ă©tait pour moi un peu spĂ©cial : ma fille sâinstalle Ă Lyon pour ses Ă©tudes et je voulais nous faire plaisir. Monsieur Marguin, je sais que votre ville recĂšle des trĂ©sors de gastronomie Ă des prix abordables et jâai trop de respect pour lâinstitution que vous reprĂ©sentez pour ne pas penser quâil y a eu un problĂšme.
