The story
In the heart of Saint-Étienne, just steps from Place Jacquard and the Cathédrale Saint-Charles, La Table des Matrus offers a refined take on modern cuisine. The restaurant describes its style as "semi-gastronomic" — a balance between the warmth of traditional French cooking and the precision of contemporary technique.
The kitchen, led by Matéo Ravel, works with a strong local focus: 90% of ingredients come from short supply chains. Meats are sourced from the renowned Boucherie Bornat, ensuring exceptional quality. The result is a menu that feels both rooted in the Stéphanois terroir and unafraid to be inventive. Each dish is built on a foundation of fresh, seasonal produce and classic French savoir-faire, lifted by a touch of modern audacity.
The dining room itself is warm and elegant, designed for a sensory experience that unfolds from the first bite to the last. It is this consistent quality and value that earned La Table des Matrus a Michelin Bib Gourmand — a recognition reserved for restaurants that serve good food at moderate prices.
For those looking to explore the culinary landscape of Saint-Étienne, La Table des Matrus provides a genuine taste of the region, delivered with creativity and care.
