It is a luxury to taste selections from a traditional brasserie menu along with Lyonnaise dishes and ingredients accompanied by rivers of Beaujolais and is made even more significent in this; the gastronomic heart of France. The brasserie called Le Nord (North), one of four in Lyon (north, south, east and west) were created by world-famous chef, Paul Bocuse and the service is very professional and the restaurant classically highlighted by dark wood paneling and polished brass, with crisp white table linen.

Charolais beef, Beaujolais wines, Saint Marcellin cheese, quenelles of pike from the Dombes, Bresse poultry, sausages with pistachios are all available in the Brasserie du Nord. Bocuse likes to reveal the producers he uses for all ingredients, as he well knows it is imperative to have them or his cooking would suffer. It is simplicity, although at the same time, it personifies excellence.
