La Quintessence 31 rue du Bât d’Argent - 69001 Lyon 1er

Thick stone walls, high vaulted ceilings and traces of former alcoves, wooden floors and patches of colour - this is where chef Anthony Baud creates a cuisine of heart and good produce.

A place for sharing, where conviviality is an artist in residence, La Quintessence draws its inspiration from Lyon's culinary history and the mothers who started it all, reinterpreting bourgeois traditions with freshness and modernity.

A discreet door at 31 rue du Bât d'Argent, the surprise of a historic setting and the purity of a cuisine without artifice or concessions...
Love at first sight and a trump card.
