The Brasserie L'Ouest distinguishes itself by its island-inspired cuisine. We also offer traditional brasserie dishes such as our well-known beef tartare with a green salad and homemade French fries. 

Our restaurant on the banks of the Saône river offers you, all year long, its signature dishes conceived by our Chefs: Milanese veal, tuna steak or even grilled or fileted sole served at your table. For dessert, enjoy our incomparably crunchy Grand-Mère waffles.

The chefs of the Brasserie L'Ouest

Chef Christian Lherm, a true craftsman of Lyonnais cuisine and heir to the traditions of a farming family, firmly believes that great cooking is founded above all on the quality of ingredients. It was through his father that he was introduced to this culture of fine produce, while his grandfather taught him the art of good eating by taking him out to restaurants with his family once or twice a month.


He began his culinary journey at the François-Rabelais Hospitality School in Dardilly, where he was awarded the title of Meilleur Apprenti du Rhône. He then steadily climbed the culinary ranks, starting at the Lyonnais bouchon Chez Rose under the guidance of Gérard Astic, before gaining experience at the Frantel Windsor and the Georges V in Paris.


Following this period, he devoted more than twenty years to the restaurant L’Arc-en-Ciel in Lyon, progressing from Chef de Partie to Executive Chef. His expertise later led him to join the kitchens of Sofitel Lyon Bellecour in June 2012, where, together with his team, he successfully retained the Michelin star of the restaurant’s fine-dining establishment.


In September 2023, he took over the leadership of the kitchen at Brasserie L’Ouest within the Brasseries Bocuse.
