The Chef
The building which hosts prestigious Auberge is from 17th Century and classified to French National Treasure. Not too far from Place Bellecour, this secret place is a true exotic location.
In 1991, Jean-Christophe Ansanay-Alex finally joins the kitchens of Auberge de l’Ile in Lyon, run by his parents since 1967. 3 years later, he takes over the management of the restaurant and gets his first Michelin star in 1993. Strengthened by his various experiences, the chef now offers an elegant, subtle and creative cuisine, which enhances seasonnal and local products.
