Têtedoie Lyon

Têtedoie sits at 4 Rue Professeur Pierre Marion, perched on the hill above the city’s historic center. The restaurant holds a Michelin star.

The venue is dressier than the bistros found down in Vieux Lyon, which sits a twenty-minute walk below. While the path up is a steep trek, the location avoids the tourist crush that defines the lower streets. Most places in the city center lean into traditional foundations, but this kitchen uses French techniques for a strictly contemporary output. It is the destination for when you want the local standard of precision without the claustrophobia of the old quarter.
