La Bonâme de Bruno

Lyon


Great food and atmosphere come together at this airy yet intimate eatery that's somewhere on the continuum between bistro and gastronomic. The high-ceilinged, parquet-floored dining room conjures the spirit of a 19th-century dance studio, while the menus, prepared with enthusiasm and creativity, change regularly based on Bruno's whims. Desserts are especially memorable.
