Description

Summary: Eco-friendly, creative dishes in Lyon.

Le Cochon Qui Boit stands out in Lyon for its modern, eco-conscious approach to dining. Breaking away from traditional local fare, the restaurant offers a menu rich with vegetable-forward plates. Its carefully curated selection of dishes like braised Jerusalem artichokes with coffee sabayon, butternut millefeuille, and Haute-Loire lamb with beans and salsify showcase a commitment to creativity and sustainability. Le Cochon Qui Boit also boasts a contemporary wine cellar featuring selections from notable producers like Mathieu Apffel and François Tardy. The establishment is the brainchild of two former colleagues from a prestigious dining background, who bring their passion for quality meat dishes and innovative pairings to the heart of Lyon. Guests can indulge in organic Aubrac beef, expertly tailored to the day's cut, and explore a gastronomic journey with dishes like a tartare of plums, faisselle, and bread ice cream. The restaurant's dedication to using well-sourced local produce and offering small-batch wines provides an exceptional dining experience that's both grounded and adventurous.
