Epona – 20 quai Jules Courmont, 69002 Lyon, FRANCE
Epona restaurant, located on the ground floor of the InterContinental® Lyon – Hotel Dieu, gets its name from an extremely popular goddess of Gallo-Roman religion, patron saint of horseriding and travel.
It stretches all along the imposing facade of Grand Hôtel-Dieu, embracing its historical architectural composition : stone floor, wood ceiling and plain paster walls. The luminous restaurant, that traverses the building, is bordered by large windows opening onto the Cour Saint-Louis of Grand Hôtel-Dieu. On sunny days, the restaurant occupies its splendid and quiet terrace-garden resembling a serene cloister, laid out in the historic courtyard which is none other than the former medicinal garden of the Grand Hôtel-Dieu.
It is in the heart of this timeless space, chef Mathieu Charrois opts for a menu with predominantly local flavour, featuring revisited timeless Lyonnais classics.
