"Lyon's two-star artist — MOF Christophe Roure plates modern, playful French tasting menus in the Brotteaux, a table for a milestone night."
About Le Neuvième Art
Le Neuvième Art sits at 173 rue Cuvier in the Brotteaux district of Lyon, a short walk from the Parc de la Tête d'Or. Chef Christophe Roure — a Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2007, trained in the kitchens of Paul Bocuse and Régis Marcon — opened the room in 2014 and won his second Michelin star in 2015. The cooking is classically rooted but modern and playful, the work of a technician who likes to surprise.
For Lyon's other top tables, compare the precise Japanese-French of Takao Takano, the two-star institution La Mère Brazier and the courtyard cooking at Les Loges. Le Neuvième Art belongs to the city's French and tasting-menu scene.
The Kitchen
Roure's cooking blends the techniques of the French masters with an inventive, sometimes playful identity — classically inspired and artistic, the menu turning with the seasons. The format runs à la carte from roughly €60 to €110, with adult tasting menus from about €150 to €230, so the kitchen can be approached either as a structured grand dinner or, at the lighter end, à la carte. It is two-star Lyon spending, matched to a serious cellar and a level of finish that earned and has held its second star since 2015.
The Room
The dining room is contemporary and calm, the service measured and precise, suited to a long tasting menu rather than a quick meal. The Brotteaux setting — leafy, residential, near the park — gives it a quieter feel than the bouchons of the old town. Booking well ahead is essential for a two-star room, particularly at weekends.
Best for an Anniversary
Two Michelin stars, a calm room and a long tasting menu make Le Neuvième Art an obvious anniversary dinner or a meal to impress clients in Lyon. The occasion-grade setting also suits a proposal.
Not for
Not for a casual bouchon night or a quick, low-cost meal — Le Neuvième Art is a two-star tasting-menu room with the prices and the pacing to match a milestone.
