Wood-fire kitchen · Croix-Rousse, Lyon

Everything on the menu has met the fire.

One hearth, burning oak from the Monts du Lyonnais. Thirty-six seats, a menu that follows the flame from first light to last ember.

The fire, hour by hour

  1. Flame

    The oak is roaring. Bread goes in first, then the beef rib, seared hard and fast at the front of the hearth.

  2. Coals

    The flames drop back. Fish and shellfish cook on the grill, a hand's width above the glowing coals.

  3. Embers

    Whole vegetables are buried in the embers and left to blister for an hour, until they collapse.

  4. Ash

    What heat remains goes into tomorrow: smoked butter, dried chillies, and the custard for dessert.
