LA GENTILHORDIÈRE

There are happiness you should not miss. There are addresses that are part of the prize list of Futé. Exceptional addresses accessible to all where you can, during a mealtime (in addition to that with a charming four-star hotel and Spa), forget everything and simply be happy. That's the effect that Gentilhordière produces. A few minutes from the center of Lyon, quickly accessible by A6 towards the centre of Limonest, this charming house that takes on the aspect of Provence. At the centre of the village, Gentilhordière opens the gates of another world. Private car park that leads directly to a quite naturally beautiful shaded terrace where it is imperative to settle down on sunny days. Around the elegantly laid tables, you would feel like in Luberon. The beauty of the large dining room of the restaurant offers the same refined, soft ambience whereas the hospitality of the lovely Madame is always warm and the attentive service take full charge of our gastronomic wellness. Because you don't only come at Gentilhordière for the setting, the decor and ambience, but also to enjoy the cuisine of an authentic Maître Restaurateur who works only with fresh ingredients. On the Bistro's menu for this end of summer, generous dishes, tastefully presented for a delicious chicken liver Terrine with hazelnuts, followed by confit of duck legs, Paimpon's coconut. With the Very Gourmet menu, the chef Fabrice Lespinasse, trained at Têtedoie, offers us lobster's Petals on a tartare of avocado and mango, smoked Salmon with the hay and spiny lobster and foie gras, sauce with spices; followed by one Iberian Bellota Pluma of pork, cranberry sauce and potato's mille-feuille, maple syrup and spring vegetables in season; to finish with a crunchy Millefeuille with black chocolate and blond chocolate. Fine wine list. Business lunch or romantic dinner, Gentilhordière is an enchantment, a hidden paradise you should discover with Futé.
