Summary: A Mexican neobistro with a twist of Lyon.
Alebrije stands out in Lyon with its vibrant Mexican neobistro concept. Carla Kirsch Lopez, a graduate from the prestigious Paul Bocuse Institute, co-founded the restaurant with her partner Vincent Gerbelli. Located in the bustling Croix-Rousse district, Alebrije brings a slice of Mexico to Lyon with its unique blend of acid, spicy, and sweet flavors that dance across every dish. The restaurant's interior reflects its Mexican roots with colorful splashes against old rafters, creating an atmosphere that's as lively as the cuisine. The menu, which changes monthly, features dishes like gaspacho and red mullet with peanut sauce, and a slightly bitter coriander ice cream with strawberries and strawberry juice. Alebrije's evening menu is particularly extensive, offering diners a more comprehensive experience of its culinary delights. And to quench the thirst, there's an impressive selection of cocktails, tequilas, and mezcals, along with a few Mexican wines that are a rare find in Lyon. Whether you're in for the food or the drinks, Alebrije is a festive and flavorful journey to Mexico in the heart of Lyon.
