The best restaurants Rhône-Alpes

Ideally located at the top of the village of Saint-Nectaire, this charming relay offers you the specialities of the region: plate of pork, truffles, aligot, andouillette mustard sauce, potée auvergne, char... On sunny days, you can have lunch on the terrace and enjoy the view over the Romanesque church, also a place to start hiking. Don't worry, there's a large parking lot waiting for you upstairs. Take the opportunity to take a look at the church and walk around it, it's very pleasant after a good meal. The nice thing is the late service (until about 3pm), ideal for a Sunday when we've been hanging out in bed or on the trails a little bit!

Amateurs of artisanal cuisine can only indulge in this address, which combines the tradition of Lyon with that of Forez! If a gourmet menu is available permanently, you will also find several reasons to indulge in gourmandise sin. Foie gras baked homemade, chicken liver cake, roast breaded pig foot and special speciality, veal head gribiche sauce! It's a treat! If you really want to get an idea of, cuisine, this restaurant is all about doing it! The dessert is also a pleasant moment with vanilla baked cream or chocolate lukewarm soft. From A to Z, there is no bad surprise, Saltoise Base is an establishment to know!

Rather unexpected as a location for one of the very few Greek restaurants in the city, but we like to get together in the evening, sitting on the terrace near the station of Brotteaux to enjoy the sun-drenched specialities with friends. In a decor dominated by the blue and the Ancient frescoes, we let ourselves be driven on the coasts of the Mediterranean to enjoy the best of the Greek and Cretan cuisine. All the specialities are homemade and prepared with olive oil that is beneficial for the health. With a bit of luck, you can dine to the sound of a folk orchestra and dance the sirtaki around the tables. For a first approach of this cuisine more diverse than it would seem, Futé recommend the tasting menu at €22.50 with its plate of starters, then a famous moussaka, the national dish. But you have to return quickly to enjoy the squid stuffed with spinach, fillets of red mullet with olive oil and rosemary or pork sausages, red and green peppers, onions and tomato sauce, without missing the youvetsi moshari, this beef with tomato, or the grilled lamb chop with herbs... We always keep a place for a fabulous yoghurt with honey and nuts or a baklava. A definitively divine place.

Behind the new halles of Chambéry, the monte Emulsion sauce, discreetly. It is Nicolas who is in the kitchen and works which more than 90% of fresh ingredients. The menus are prepared with seasonal ingredients to make an inventive cuisine in a very pleasant contemporary setting, far from the hustle and bustle. Fresh live at good suppliers to be cooked right in order to stand out all the aromas. We loved crust cod with chorizo with mashed potato. No entrance to keep place for dessert: a Paris Brest with good pastry chou house. No false note for a professional service and warm hospitality that takes time to chat with the guest. An establishment to be visited!

What a joy to know that in Lyon a Lion can roar in such a beautiful way. Yes, the Avenue des Frères-Lumière reserves many surprises to whom to take the time to discover it. Among the best surprises discovered by Le Smart this year, the Lyon of the Atlas. Located at an angle on the avenue, offering a pleasant terrace detached from the urban hustle and bustle, this hotel is remarkable in many views. Start with the welcome of Madame, also at the comfort behind the counter, in a cosy room with its colourful lights and decorated walls. Another wonder is the kitchen of a chef trained in the best lyon houses and who only work fresh products. The menu of the day - 2 entrances, meat, always of French origin, and a fish - desserts - with seasonal saison made of high quality - is a model of its kind. We also appreciate the "big entries" with beautiful salad compositions, to follow a plate of mullet filets with citrus agrumes or a Lyon andouillette sauce to old mustard sauce. Features, perfect tajines and a famous "Couscous des Sables", served only on Thursday midday and Evening. A is not lacking under any pretext. An address that can accommodate your family or private events up to 50 people. A coup de coeur du Smart.

The New Century is an air-conditioned and bright room with a capacity of 40 people, a room with 30 seats and an indoor terrace of 20 seats, with trendy tones, green and grey. Régis Semet and its second Romain Charondière, both in perfect symbiosis, only work products directly from the producers of the Saint-André region. Their cuisine is refined and innovative, the presentation of the plates is pretty. On the Petit Verdot menu, you can taste a duck crust in the Foie gras (house), small green of season, or asparagus of the moment to the juste and langoustines white butter. To follow, a pan of frogs'legs in persillade or a râble of thin stuffing rabbit with spinach, market trim and dessert of the day. While the Maccabeo menu will make you appreciate a fatty liver in pan steaks on barigoule d and a just roast calf, old mustard cream, time topping, then proposal of cheese and homemade desserts. The staff were friendly and helpful. Come and discover among friends, the exceptional surroundings of the cellar, a real return to the springs, to taste cold and omelet accompanied by good wine, or by booking for banquets, business meetings, seminars up to up to 20 people.

And if, in the north of Lyon, we were going to the south and Italy? In a quiet street in the city centre, parallel to the National Street, the pizzeria Al Dente transports us on the other side of the Alps, thanks to the know-how of Roberto, an authentic Italian who is passionate about the good products of his country and wishes us one thing, sharing his passion. This lover of the eternal city, Rome, welcomes us with open arms in a warm setting. On tables dressed with red tiles, you can enjoy typical Italian family cuisine, as you like to enjoy among friends around a good dish and a glass of wine. Of course, you will be asked to cook her pasta al, i. e. slightly firm under the tooth, but we start with maison maison. Because everything here is home, baked bread bread. So, just dive in the map to make a gourmet trip, well-made pizzas with bruschettas. The desserts are also home, like this wonderful tiramisu which, as its name indicates in Dante's language, "pulls up". A fine Italian wine list for Al Dente Smart.

Lazarette (name, mef.): store of a ship containing wine and food. A more popular version, the lazarette means a room, or a house. This 800 m ² establishment is simply amazing, combining the elegance of the British vintage on the floor (Chesterfield sofa, wallpaper and froufrou) and the chic butchery on the ground floor. In the summer, the Lazarette welcomes us "outdoor" in an inner courtyard on a beautiful shaded terrace to present us with the simple and refined cuisine of Julien (whose father and grandfather were butchers and that one had crossed at the Moment in Vaise) back from the market and the adorable service of the charming Elodie. Vedette meat by the chef in person who selects his pieces from a charolais breeder before refining them in a cold room. So say that the beef ribs are worth a detour! A carte soup and sausage in two ways: espuma and salpicon to start. If there's no beef to continue, we're happy to look at a tuna carpaccio and marinade lemon and green pepper marinade, ginger, Madras curry. A bowls to finish the meal (while you can organise seminars in the cabin in the trees above the summer kitchen) while waiting to discover the interior from the first frimas.
