La Mère Brazier, founded in 1921 by Eugénie Brazier, stands as a monument to Lyonnaise cuisine. This iconic restaurant, now under the direction of chef Mathieu Viannay, continues to honor the legacy of its founder, who earned an unprecedented six Michelin stars in 1933, three at this very location and three at another. Today, La Mère Brazier holds two Michelin stars, a testament to Viannay's dedication to preserving the restaurant's heritage while infusing his own culinary vision. The restaurant's decor is a harmonious blend of history and modernity, with 1930s stained glass and moldings juxtaposed against contemporary design elements. Viannay pays homage to Brazier's iconic dishes, such as Bresse chicken with truffles, updating them with his innovative techniques. Pastry chef Rodolphe Tronc, an alumnus of Pierre Gagnaire, brings remarkable skill and attention to detail to the dessert offerings.
