It was in 1954 that Vital Pignol, a young boy from Saint-Etienne, set up a cake shop at the 17 of Rue Emile Zola, right next to the emblematic Place Bellecour. More than 60 years later, Maison Pignol has changed but the address has remained. Pignol, the caterer of choice, has become synonymous with exceptional receptions and now has 7 restaurants and shops, employing some 160 employees. This great house has, however, kept its soul and it is still enlivened by enthusiasts and demanding professionals like Jean-Paul Pignol. What is truly outstanding is that this shop never rests on its laurels, always offering new creations at any occasion, always seeking to do the best! At this "historic" address, Pignol offers us a cake shop, but also a restaurant on the two floors of the Pignol family's former flat! All in all, four different rooms, from the bistro atmosphere to the kitchen via the intimate lounge, to enjoy seasonal dishes that are different every day - such as this perch fillet in the heart of summer -, well composed salads with fresh produce, and of course, the wonderful homemade pastries. An address that is part of the city's gourmet heritage.
