Les Loges Review – Michelin-Recommended Modern Cuisine in Lyon, France

Les Loges, Lyon: Modern Cuisine in a Renaissance Setting

In the heart of Lyon’s UNESCO-listed Vieux-Lyon district, Les Loges occupies the ground floor of the Cour des Loges hotel, a meticulously restored 5-star property dating from the 14th century. The restaurant’s dining room is a study in contrasts: a marble-paved Florentine courtyard capped by a spectacular 17-metre contemporary glass roof. This setting – Renaissance stonework meeting modern transparency – sets the tone for the cooking of chef Anthony Bonnet.

Chef Bonnet describes his cuisine as audacious and creative, always centred on the product and its terroir. His approach is driven by seasonality and a commitment to sustainable gastronomy, expressed through a single tasting menu that changes with the rhythms of the year. It is a focused, deliberate style – no clutter, no fuss – that has earned the restaurant a Michelin recommendation, a natural recognition for a kitchen that lets the ingredients speak.

The wine program is equally ambitious. The restaurant’s cellar holds over 940 references, ranging from prestigious grand crus to classic appellations and local discoveries. For diners who prefer a lighter touch, Le Comptoir, the hotel’s bistronomic sibling, offers a convivial alternative and a separate, biodynamically-focused wine list. But at Les Loges, the experience is one of deliberate refinement: a single tasting menu, a deep wine list, and a room that feels both ancient and brand new.

This is modern French cuisine with its roots firmly in the Lyonnais soil, served in a space that is as much a destination as the plate itself.
