The story
At 126 rue de Sèze in Lyon’s 6th arrondissement, Sinabro operates as a bistrot dedicated to Korean cuisine. The restaurant describes itself as offering “cuisine exemplaire nutritionnellement équilibrée” – exemplary, nutritionally balanced cooking. This philosophy is rooted in a deep respect for Korea’s 5,000-year culinary tradition, where a dish is built around five colors (green, red, yellow, black, white) and five flavors (spice, sugar, acid, salt, bitter), representing the five natural elements and cosmic energies essential to inner harmony.
The result is a menu that balances health and flavour, drawing on the diversity of Korean cuisine shaped by the country’s geography between sea and mountain. Sinabro’s approach has earned it a place in the Michelin guide, where it is listed as Recommended – a recognition of its consistent, thoughtful cooking.
The setting is that of a traditional bistrot, with air conditioning and wheelchair access. Open Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, Sinabro offers a midday menu alongside an à la carte selection, with a dedicated wine and drinks list. It is a straightforward, welcoming space to experience Korean cuisine in Lyon.
