Book a tablePavyllon Lyon is the gastronomic counter opened in September 2026 by chef Yannick Alléno and Institut Lyfe, at 20 place Bellecour in Lyon's 2nd arrondissement. It is the first school restaurant of the Pavyllon brand: Yannick Alléno's signature cuisine is interpreted by a team of professionals, alongside Institut Lyfe students who train there in real conditions. True to the spirit of the Pavyllon restaurants in Paris, Monaco and London, the dining room is built around a long counter open onto the kitchen, so every guest can watch the brigade at work. The menu draws on Lyon's culinary heritage, notably the legacy of the Mères lyonnaises, reinterpreted through the chef's signature work on sauces and extractions. The restaurant is open Monday to Friday for lunch and dinner, and closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
Pavyllon Lyon offers three set menus and an à la carte menu. The Brève de comptoir, served at lunch from Monday to Friday, is a three-course menu at 55 euros that changes every week with the market. The Bellecour menu, a tribute to the square, comes in four courses at 95 euros or five courses at 115 euros, with wine pairings at 55 or 65 euros. The Pavyllon menu, the complete experience designed by Yannick Alléno, has seven courses at 150 euros, with a wine pairing at 90 euros. The à la carte menu lets guests freely combine creative cold, hot and vegetable dishes, pasta, fish and meat. The wine list showcases the region's vineyards: Beaujolais, the Rhône Valley, Mâconnais, Bugey, Jura and Savoie.
The cuisine at Pavyllon Lyon is created by Yannick Alléno, head of the group that bears his name, and executed day to day by chef Clément Lopez. With fifteen years of experience, Clément Lopez honed his craft in Michelin-starred Paris restaurants such as Michel Rostang, Le Taillevent and Le Diane, then in the United States, before leading the kitchens of major Lyon hotels (InterContinental, Lyon Métropole). He runs a brigade of nearly twenty people and guides Institut Lyfe students towards excellence. The wine program is entrusted to head sommelier Jeanne Suscillon, under the direction of Vincent Javaux, head of sommellerie for the Yannick Alléno group, and Gaëtan Bouvier, Meilleur Ouvrier de France Sommellerie 2023. Operations are led by Florie Ghibaudo and the dining room by Julien Hayere-Luciani.
