Chef Gautier, "Maître Restaurateur"

Gourmet Bistro Restaurant to Savor Creative Fine Dining in the Heart of Lyon 6

Le M Restaurant, located in the heart of Lyon's prestigious 6th arrondissement, is where Chef Mathieu Viannay earned his first Michelin star in 2005. In 2008, he chose to take over La Mère Brazier restaurant, located on Rue Royale in Lyon's 1st arrondissement. By transforming his establishment on Avenue Foch into a chic bistro, he gave birth to Le M Restaurant.


From the very beginning, Julien Gautier, former chef of Léon de Lyon (2 Michelin stars), took the reins of Le M Restaurant's kitchen, infusing it with his own unique touch before purchasing the establishment in July 2010. He offers an inventive menu that changes every two months, crafting dishes with precision, rigor, and creativity that elevate seasonal flavors and ingredients.


Quickly, Chef Julien Gautier’s cuisine, which blends innovation and inspiration, began to captivate the most discerning gourmets. Since 2009, the restaurant has been featured in the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand selection. Additionally, in 2012, the Chef was awarded the title of "Maître Restaurateur," recognizing the freshness and quality of the local, seasonal ingredients used in his dishes. Passionate and a member of Les Toques Blanches, Chef Julien Gautier remains dedicated to sharing the values of conviviality and generosity while surprising his guests with cuisine that is precise, indulgent, creative, and generous.
