M Restaurant
About
M Restaurant is a chic, contemporary bistro located in the heart of Lyon’s prestigious 6th arrondissement, just steps from the vibrant Foch Avenue and the iconic Parc de la Tête d’Or. Helmed by Chef Julien Gautier, a former Michelin‑starred chef, the restaurant blends avant‑garde creativity with a deep respect for seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Every two months the menu is refreshed, showcasing inventive dishes such as marinated foie gras, torch‑roasted rabbit, and a raw prawn & avocado tartare that exemplify the kitchen’s commitment to culinary artistry. With a stylish interior, an airy mezzanine for private occasions, and a lush terrace that opens in spring and summer, M Restaurant offers an intimate yet sophisticated dining experience. Beyond its menu, the venue is celebrated for its Bib Gourmand status and its hospitality awards. It welcomes diners from casual lunchers to business professionals, and its flexible private rooms accommodate everything from birthday celebrations to corporate meetings. Whether you’re strolling after a metro ride at Foch or attending a business lunch nearby, M Restaurant promises a memorable blend of flavor, ambiance, and attentive service. The restaurant is open daily from Monday to Friday, with a midday lunch service from 12:00‑13:30 and an evening dinner from 19:00‑21:30. Their knowledgeable staff also offers a catering service and a take‑away menu for guests who wish to enjoy the M experience at home.
