Aux Lyonnais: the authentic Lyonnais bouchon to try in Paris

Just a stone’s throw from the Grands Boulevards, Aux Lyonnais invites Parisians to discover the generous flavors of Rhône cuisine in a typical bouchon setting.

Located on rue Saint-Marc in the 2ᵉ arrondissement, Aux Lyonnais is a heritage address. After more than twenty years underAlain Ducasse‘s leadership, the Dumant family – Margot and Felix – is now taking over the reins of this emblematic restaurant. A new chapter that remains true to the DNA of the place: celebrating Lyon’s gastronomy with exacting standards, without fuss.

A typically Lyonnais setting

Right from the entrance, the tone is set: period moldings, red banquettes, earthenware tiles and antique mirrors make up a retro décor that immerses diners in the warm atmosphere of Lyon’s bouchons. Tightly-packed tables, conducive to conversation, contribute to this convivial atmosphere, where it’s easy to share a toast with your neighbors. In the dining room, Kevin Marengo provides attentive, smiling and dynamic service.

Local cuisine revisited

In the kitchen, chef Victoria Boller has created a menu faithful to the great Rhône classics, but subtly modernized. These include pike quenelle with crayfish,Bobosse andouillette with mustard sauce, and cervelle de canut with dry sausage.

The“œuf cocotte aux lardons ” is a must, while the “île flottante aux pralines roses ” adds a sweet, nostalgic touch at the end of the meal. Each dish respects the fundamentals of Lyonnais cuisine, while at the same time offering a modern, masterful interpretation.

A real getaway in Lyon… without leaving Paris

The wine list is consistent, with fine Beaujolais references such as David Chapel’s Chiroubles, perfect for accompanying the traditional dishes served here.

Looking for a local break in an authentic setting? Aux Lyonnais ticks all the boxes. A perfect address to (re)discover the conviviality and generosity of Lyon, right in the heart of Paris.
