La Virée
Le Fooding's best French bistro of 2025, in a former bouchon
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Matthias Lallemant cooks and Mathias Béguin (ex-Substrat) runs the floor in a 1952 bouchon reborn with terrazzo, Formica tables and a 1970s glow near Guillotière. The food is clever, generous and made for sharing, paired with a tight natural-wine list. Le Fooding named it France's best bistro for 2025, and it took a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026.
Editor's Tip
Reserve by phone or Instagram; this one filled up the moment Fooding called it. Evenings Tuesday to Saturday, weekend lunches.
