Pierre Orsi

Pierre Orsi Restaurant Review:

This is one of Lyon's very best bets! The restaurant itself--located at the heart of the Brotteaux district--is a showcase, and the service couldn't be more perfect. British comfort, French tradition, Italian elegance--you'll find it all at Pierre Orsi. Chef Pierre Orsi has a razor-sharp instinct for ingredients and cooking times, and his foie gras and house-smoked salmon are truly beyond compare. Be sure to taste the succulent pan-roasted veal sweetbreads done in Sherry, the crunchy vegetable chartreuse (a veritable monument), and the gorgeous, ultraclassic desserts. The ample wine list is rich in Bordeaux and Burgundies from top-notch sources. And believe us, the summer lunch in the rose graden may just be the bargain of the century!
