Paul Bocuse Restaurant Gastronomique - Lyon, France Foodie (Not Recommended)

Here is my review of a recent dinner I had at Paul Bocuse Restaurant Gastronomique, near Lyon. It is actually not located in Lyon but about 30 minutes away in a suburb to Lyon. The address of the restaurant is 8 quai de la Jonchèr 69660 Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or .

To be clear, I think it is an iconic restaurant and a once in a lifetime experience. If you are not a regular foodie, I would go for sure as just the pageantry and pomp & circumstance is worth the price of admission. So if you treat it like a show rather than a meal, definitely it is worth it. My only point is that for a foodie, you could probably get 2 or 3 meals of equal quality at 1 star or 2 star Michelin restaurant in Lyon (and there are lots) for the same price. So I would definitely go once just for bragging rights but I wouldn't go again. Not sure if that is the best reason to visit a restaurant.

In my personal opinion, I believe the food quality is more like a 1 star Michelin restaurant. I don't think they will ever lose another star as it is such an institution in France but I would also be very surprised if it gained back its 3rd star. It was probably a top notch restaurant back in the 1980-90s but service/food has progressed while Paul Bocuse has stayed the same...which means it has lost ground to other restaurants in terms of service and food quality.
