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.
In the shade of a century-old acacia, Epona Côté Jardin is the urban oasis where life is good on the Presqu’île. The restaurant occupies its splendid and quiet terrace-garden resembling a serene cloister, laid out in the historic Saint-Louis courtyard which is none other than the former medicinal garden of the Grand Hôtel-Dieu.
It is in the heart of this timeless space that chef Mathieu Charrois offers you his summer recipes with striking flavours in a friendly atmosphere.
On rainy days, take advantage of the luminous restaurant bordered by large windows, stretching all along the imposing facade of Grand Hôtel-Dieu and embracing its historical architectural composition.
