La Pyramide

Lyon & the Rhône Valley


Patrick Henriroux's swish Michelin-starred flagship serves up cuisine that is as beautiful as it is delicious. His signature dishes span crusted saddle of suckling lamb, supreme of pigeon in a carrot-and-passionfruit sauce, and roasted pineapple with yoghurt. In addition to this, Patrick Henriroux also helms the more affordable L'Espace PH3.
