Fodor's Review:

Ever since walking off with the 2002 Gault-Millau Chef of the Year honors, Nicolas Le Bec has been hot as a pistol, whether at his past spot, Les Loges, or here in this cozy hideaway near Place Bellecour. With a constantly changing menu responding to the seasons, the market, and the chef's abundant curiosity, there's always a new take on anything from artichokes to risotto in this postmodern culinary antithesis of traditional Lyonnais bouchon cooking. Le Bec's past triumphs include his duck foie gras with black figs and his roast crayfish with purple artichokes, and fans keep packing this place to see what new wonders he has up his sleeve.
