Nestled by the Saône, Le Restaurant Paul Bocuse is a culinary temple where exceptional service and classic French dishes come together in a historic setting.
"No nickname can sum up the impact of the "pope of gastronomy", Paul Bocuse. This outstanding chef, as talented in the kitchen as in business, was and remains a hero and a model for many master chefs today. Bocuse was responsible for bringing the kitchen teams and their chefs out of their anonymity and into the spotlight and was probably the world’s first celebrity chef. Since his passing, the high-flying team of his namesake establishment (two Meilleur Ouvrier de France chefs and a pastry chef who is a world champion of iced desserts) upholds his legacy: crayfish tail gratin; VGE truffle soup, seabass in a puff pastry crust, Bresse poultry “en vessie”; and a wickedly decadent dessert trolley. The story is by no means over." - Michelin Inspector
"It was at her Col de la Luère restaurant where Chef Brazier took on a very special apprentice— a 20-year-old Paul Bocuse. Bocuse would rise to become Lyon’s prodigal son ushering in France’s era of nouvelle cuisine—at his eponymous Two MICHELIN Star restaurant." - Sophie Friedman
Tony said it had always been his dream to eat here. Paul Bocuse is considered the father of modern French cuisine. They ate soupe aux truffes noires V.G.E. (black-truffle soup named after former French President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing); loup en croûte feuilletée (sea bass in pastry crust); choron (béarnaise or hollandaise sauce made with tomato purée); pot-au-feu (French beef stew); lièvre à la royale (roasted hare).
"The final dinner will take place at the famous Paul Bocuse Restaurant in Lyon, where guests can taste the famed chef’s legendary black truffle soup." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"The late, legendary chef Paul Bocuse’s flagship restaurant in France, which had held three Michelin stars since 1965 — the longest current streak of any restaurant in the world — has lost that accolade. L’Auberge du Pont de Collonges, also known colloquially as “Restaurant Paul Bocuse,” will be demoted to two stars in the 2020 Michelin Guide to France." - Erin DeJesus
