The story
Mertensia, at 52 rue Tronchet in Lyon's 6th arrondissement, is a modern cuisine restaurant that earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026. The kitchen cooks with local, seasonal produce from growers the restaurant names on its website.
Lunch and dinner both follow a split between vegetal and marine versions. The Gastronomie vivante menu has six courses and the Gastronomie Immersive has eight. The house puts vegetables first and lets the sea come through in the marine versions. The website lists the six-course menus at 34 (vegetal) and 39 (marine), and the eight-course menus at 62 and 72.
The dining room is described as elegant and calm, suited to slow meals. The restaurant says its closeness to its artisans helps keep the produce at its best. Smart Green Guide awarded Mertensia four radishes for 2026.
