First lunch in Lyon with my wife. She found this place and made reservations a few weeks before our trip. It's a culinary school with a restaurant and hotel run by the students and supervised by the instructors.
We got to the restaurant a few minutes early but got seated right away. The students that served us were very professional. They also spoke very good english and explained the menu well.
The meal consists of three courses. All of the food served to us were really good. The combination of ingredients were really well done. Nothing was overtly or under seasoned.
The ambience and decor was also done well. It was clean and simple which I really like.
It's good to know that students are being taught to continue cooking great food. I'm excited to see and find out where students from this institute take their talents after graduating.
This restaurant cooking and managing schools was founded by the legendary Paul Bocuse. The staff is young, very anxious to please and at times a bit nervous.
Look into the kitchen and watch student chefs being guided by instructors.
My wife thought her octopus appetizer was the best she has ever had and I thought the same about the molten chocolate cake dessert. Prices are high, however, with relatively small portions.
The atmosphere was more casual than I had expected and the setting is very contemporary and sleek.
On a tour with passengers from our river cruise, we decide to go along with others on this morning visit to the L'Institut. We are very glad that we did.
Our program was well organized and our instructor was very good. As much as we appreciate the culinary legacy of Paul Bocuse, our little excursion to the L'Institute Paul Bocuse was one of the highlights of our tour of Lyon and of our entire cruise.
Future Michelin rated chefs learn the trade here and strive for perfection.
We were lucky to get a seating at dinner put on by these students. It was five star service from start to finish and every plating looked Fantabulous!
I had the shrimp appetizer followed by the cod entree and raspberry dessert - all paired with delicious wines. Obviously the food was amazing and beatifiully plated. It almost looked too good to eat.
I definitely recommend you eat here when in Lyon. It's a great experience and just a beautiful place to have a great meal. Two thumbs way up!!!!
Impeccable service, warm welcome, fantastic presentations, delicious foie gras starter, thé champagne by the glass is a bit expensive but overall it was a world class experience from start to finish. One starter (fois gras) two glasses of champagne, one bottle of sparkling water, two main entree dishes, two cheese plates, two espressos = our bill came to 127 euros which is rather expensive in my opinion but for a school setting truly the setting and everything else deserves nothing less than five stars. Well done. You can tell that the legend and legacy of Paul Bocuse lives on and is well represented by the fine young men and women of institut Paul Bocuse École de Cuisine!
This was a great place for dinner. The staff is first rate and the dishes are delicious...especially their desserts! The dishes are of high quality and presentation is good.
The food and service here is excellent. My wife and I came here for lunch. Each dish was made up to our standards. Be prepared to have a long lunch though as we were here for about 2 hours.
The price is actually very cheap for a Michelin level resturant open by a 3 star chef. We were expecting a few hundred per person, but ended up only paying about 60 per person.
This is a must try here in Lyon. You will need to get reservations at least a few days in advance though. We just emailed them a few days before we went to Lyon and we're able to get a reservation. Good luck!
Unique and creative approach to the entire dining experience. Incredible flavor profiles and excellent service. Highly recommend for anyone who has a deep appreciation for food.
Supernice new resto with a really nice staff and a extraordinary kitchen!
This is where they train a lot of waiters at the Institut Bocuse.
TRY IT
Modern, clean and casual decor. Outstanding service, food and wine. Lively atmosphere, great energy. The food was at par with the finest restaurants, the champagne and wine choices by the glass or bottle had depth and you can't beat the price! I recommend and hope to return some day.

Excellent repas, dressé par chef Hugo
Le personnel et le service sont de qualité, ainsi que les produits servis et le travail effectué qui mérite 5 étoiles.
Pour un établissement de ce type, le rapport qualité prix est excellent.
Seul bémol: une vinaigrette un peu trop corsée qui camoufle les saveurs du poireau.
La lotte et sa préparation d’artichaut sont un délice. Un grand merci au chef Bosviel qui m’en a partagé le savoir-faire.
Un grand merci pour ce moment
