This bistronomic bijou is tucked away in the heart of a district in the throes of renovation. In a cosy, nature-inspired interior, youthful Maxime Pujol rolls out his technical skills as he conjures up seasonal dishes, rich in crisp flavours and beautifully presented – all of which at eater friendly prices at lunchtime. More ambitious score in the evening with a surprise menu.

Located in Lyon's 7th arrondissement, Bergamote offers modern cuisine blending bold vegetable and animal ingredients.
