The story
Auberge de Grilly is a family-run restaurant located in the small village of Grilly, in the Ain department of eastern France. Situated in the heart of the Pays de Gex, the restaurant offers a unique dining concept built around a single, ever-changing menu. This "gourmet stroll" (balade gourmande) invites guests to discover a sequence of creative and modern dishes, each highlighting the chef's inventive approach and respect for seasonal ingredients. The menu evolves with the seasons, ensuring that each visit brings new flavors and surprises.
The atmosphere is intentionally convivial and unpretentious – the restaurant describes it as "sans tralala" – allowing the focus to remain on the food and the shared experience. The modern cuisine is both surprising and rooted in the local terroir, reflecting the rich agricultural heritage of the region. The restaurant is situated on a quiet lane in Grilly, adding to its intimate and welcoming character.
In 2026, the Michelin Guide recognized Auberge de Grilly with a Recommended award, a testament to its consistent quality and culinary vision. This distinction places the restaurant among the notable addresses for modern cuisine in the area.
Auberge de Grilly is open for lunch and dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, inviting diners to experience its distinctive approach to modern French dining.
